#vatsim 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.

So, I had my #vatsim 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.

So, the reason I was frustrated Monday night with #Vatsim class number 22 is because with my foot pedal I cannot use control to read word by word and at the time could not tab to get the pilot's information as every key I tried would block input. This is no problem with a sighted person as they have a mouse
and they could just read the screen. I do not have that luxury. #VatsimTraining

Well I just had a frustrating #Vatsim 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 #vatsim 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.

Yes yes yes! I have a voice, at least a voice. #Vatsim class number 21 here I come, at least in half an hour.

#vatsim class number 20went well, except I did not do so hot at VFR. Guess what I get to do next week. That's right, VFR. I am though getting complete rerouts correct, both in reading and creating wiht the data I have. I also got a pilot whose airac was out of date. the departure didn't exist anymore. That was fun. I had to practice an APREQ. I think I need to actually remember to say apreq, as I forgot. I also got a unique squak of 1111. I'll probably never get that again. #VatsimTraining

It's time for #vatsim class. This is begining to get more entence, yet I'm enjoying putting theory into practice. This is a fun adventure.

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 #accessibility will be looked at. I'm optomistic as more of us are starting to advocate, educate and communicate.

So #VatSim 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.

Happy second day of #FlightSimExpo I reallywish I were there #FlyingBlind and controling on #Vatsim
#FlightSimExpo #FlightSimulation #FlyingBlind #BlindTravel

To those attending #FlightSimExpo 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
#FlightSim #VatSim #FlyingBlind #Technology

Well #vatsim class went well. More of the same. we added VFR traffic patterns. I'm also learning the difference between an APREQ and a simple conversation. I also did a full read-back of a route a bit smoother thanks to NVDA's add on called enhance phonetic speech set to a delay of 250MS.
#VatsimTraining #FlightSimulation #FlyingBlind

Well today is #Vatsim class numberr 16. I'm doing quite well, I'm just forgetting stuff but that's only because we're doing some new phraseology.

Parting is such sweet sorrow. I hope I may be able to find the same #Vatsim community on #KBin. if not, maybe such a community can one day be created to uplift and encourage others in this wonderful hobby.

If anyone in the #Vatsim cummunity who have ever spoken to me on the subreddit want to stey in touch contact me through my discord server which right now is quiet until #FlightSimExpo2023, you can join at d-pilot.flyingblind.us. Again I really appreciate you all. Now let's go Aviate, educate and communicate.
