class 26:
Theory theory and more theory. Yes that's right. I had to refresh airspaces, lowest usable flight level and more. We are pounding the pavement as my OTS is in about 2 weeks. I also did some sweatbox work; however, I need to really study their theory as I'm weak there, and I know it. If I'm weak there and I know it, clap my hands. Clap! Clap!

Wow, so I did my first and hopefully only visual landing today. Do not ask me how it went! do not pass go! do not collect 200 dollars. I made it, but took up all 5000 feet to stop, and, well, I made it. I never want to land there again! Thanks everyone for the laughs and fun! and to who ever created my fake gravestone, good job! I love it! I can't wait for next week's event.

So, vatsim class number 25 went very, very well. We worked in the sweatbox, and I must work on "say." So "say aircraft type" "say altitude" "say final cruising altitude." I also got in the network, and we cleared 2 planes successfully. Thank you to the person who developed the nvda add on to help me with my foot pedal. It worked well. I am very excited right now, and terrified. I'm sure the fear will go away the more experience I have.

Well, as the rogue says in ! "here we go!" except I'm not playing hearthstone. Let's do this and hope I do not break things.

I also cleared 10 planes in the space of 60 minutes and had a long discussion with some staff regarding accessibility of Vstars and how it could be improved. It needs a huge improvement for me to do everything by myself. I am almost ready for my test, however.

So, I had my training class 24 and we are this close to solving the pedal issue. Someone wrote a nvda add on for me which at the time of the class almost worked. I've since sent debug logs, and all works well, we' 'all will see come Friday.

Well I just had a frustrating 23 class, nothing went right, 100 percent nothing! I'll write about it on the normal hashtag when I feel better tomorrow. Right now I think I'm going to go to sleep.

This Friday was class number 21. I did well, however I always forget where I am when we switch up. I need to be looking at my notes. I also really need to work on not overthinking the situation the pilot is in. The solution and tools are in front of me. Now why can't I think about using them. I forget they are there. I know the information; I know what to do. Now, how to get rid of this blocker. Advice would be welcome here.

I'm now downloading my fly by wire traffic add on update. This will take a while. I really love this over AIG as it sounds awesome, and just works, especially when you have the api key from I can't remember where now.

Well, last day of @FSXbo2023 and yeah I'm looking forward to that beyond ATC add on. I want to try and ask the dev if will be looked at. I'm optomistic as more of us are starting to advocate, educate and communicate.

I can't wait to get my desktop back, then I can fly again when I come back home.

Another positive: I'm also doing better on full route clearances. And reading them correctly. Note do not call DCT a vor, that means direct, not something odd like detective. Lol!

I also had the chance to play with a compass rose which looks like a circle marked in 360-degree increments. You place that over a map to know your varying of something. I can picture the direction approx. where somethgin is based on that baring. My homework is to practice saying VFR clearances both at FLL and TPA to myself for practice this week.

So class number 18 went quite well. Easy clearances then 2 or 3 harder ones where I had the chance to use sky vector. I really love that site. My teacher even launched nvda on his system to hear what I was seeing and confirmed something I was having trouble with and not reading correctly due to a mistake on my part.

To those attending this year we could not attend due to another commitment. HOpefully we will be at the next one. We miss the ability to advocate, educate and communicate
