Ben_Chiu Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "March 28 Proposed Flight" 03-26-04, 00:34z  0CA3-KSBP This was created using the tools in the VPC Pilot Services area. The flight plan was generated by the flight planning tool. Although there is some funky-ness with the climb/descent/cruise information, the route is sound. CRAWFORD (0CA3) N34 35, W120 00 SANTA YNEZ, CA Runway Length: 2100 Elevation: 570 Magnetic Variation: 14º E SAN LUIS COUNTY REGIONAL (KSBP) N35 14, W120 38 SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA Runway Length: 5300 Elevation: 212 Magnetic Variation: 15º E Ben Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The Flight Planner and Facilities Directory have been in the Crew section of the Pilot Services area for quite some time. You can actually get at these (and more) if you load up the VPC FS2K4 Kneeboard replacement as well. We've also added a HTML table generator for flight plans to the Forum reply/new post pages as well. Please see VPC Tech for details.

tb Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 3. "RE: March 28 Proposed Flight" 03-27-04, 01:33z  Ben impressive. Even I might be able to get from point "a" to point "B", but then it might be handy to know the cloud formations ahead of time. Dave gets confused.

I'd plan for terrain avoidance, then adjust altitude on the flight based on clouds. Of course, since you know Robert, you could get him to change the clouds if you don't like what you see. > Dave gets confused. Uh-huh... Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Well, I mean really, who wouldn't get confused with all these instuctions - "When you see the ocean, turn left", "Land just after the radio tower" - Way too much information. I haven't even found the ocean yet! Oh, nevermind, I had my eyes closed again! (You spread debris over the runway a few times and you'll never hear the end of it!)

RobertVA Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 6. "RE: March 28 Proposed Flight" 03-30-04, 06:09z  Sorry I missed the flight. A relative was having some computer problems and I speent Saturday evening getting two of their computers back in service (corrupted files). I got them to test a couple of DVDs I had made in their DVD player while I was at it. How was the turn out and were there any interesting events?

I got them to test a couple of DVDs I had > made in their DVD player while I was at it. Ah, computer orphans. I know the situation well. We missed you. > How was the turn out and were there any interesting events? I took off in the Cub and found myself grinding away into a 25knot headwind. My ground speed was ranged from 49 to 66 KIAS (in a descent). By the end of the hour, I only made it to Santa Maria. At that point, rather than land at SMX, I switched to the 182 and joined the guys at SBP. The flight was kind of bumpy due to the wind and there were some clouds at about 3-4k, so flying low and slow was an interesting change of pace.
