Wait and see.

Yep, along with cold fusion, the cure for the common cold, artificial
intelligence, and world peace.

All of which are going to happen any day now...

You are correct. The only thing that could be a greater waste of time than
getting into a tit-for-tat semantic thumb-twiddling competition with this
contributor is to try to have a serious conversation with him.

So why do several people here constantly "waste their time" talking about me?

I am the first to recognize the things he does know
about aviation, and to post agreement when I actually do agree, but these
posts never elicit a response, and never go further, because he is not here to
share.

Typically, if I agree with someone, there's nothing to post ... since I agree.

It is a safe bet that this contributor is playing similar vindictive games on
other sites where professionals congregate, telling doctors, lawyers,
investors or other experts they do not know what they are talking about.

Vindictive games? I have no ax to grind. I just like aviation.

Delusional nonsense.

I don't know any real life pilot who denies enjoying the visceral
sensations of flight: those are not felt in a desk chair.

I know airline pilots and some other pilots who enjoy mainly the precision and
procedures of flying. For example, they feel a strong sense of accomplishment
when breaking out of the clouds after a long flight in zero visibility to
discover the runway perfectly aligned in front of them. The physical
sensations are irrelevant; what is relevant is that they successfully flew
perfectly from departure to arrival without ever once being able to look out
the window.

Other airline pilots seem to get great satisfaction from being reliable in
their jobs as they transport people to and fro. For them, the greatest
compliment from a passenger would be that he forgot he was in an airplane.

Not everyone wants a roller-coaster ride.

This isn't limited to airplanes, either. I like precision and perfection in
both flying and driving. A nice side effect of this is that it makes me very
safe at both activities.

All maneuvers require training.

No maneuver (in the civilian world) when done in an aircraft certified for
the maneuver, performed by a pilot trained to do the maneuver, and done
under accepted conditions, is dangerous.

Why isn't spin training part of the PPL?

And before you ask, the accepted conditions are formed from the real
experience of real pilots flying real airplanes for about a hundred years.

That's why spin training isn't part of the PPL.

Omission isn't lying.

That's a lie.


http://www.choice101.com/19-lies.html#LiesOfOmission

"To lie by omission is to remain silent and thereby withhold from someone
else a vital piece (or pieces) of information. The silence is deceptive
in that it gives a false impression to the person from whom the information
was withheld. It subverts the truth; it is a way to manipulate someone
into altering their behavior to suit the desire of the person who
intentionally withheld the vital information; and, most importantly, it's
a gross violation of another person's right of self-determination."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie#Lying_by_omission

"One lies by omission by omitting an important fact, deliberately leaving
another person with a misconception. Lying by omission includes failures to
correct pre-existing misconceptions."

About the only unsafe thing you can do while playing with MSFS is to lean
your chair too far back and fall over.

You are delusional.

Because it is no longer concidered necessary for the type of flying done
by someone with a PPL in modern airplanes, just like chandelles and lazy
eights.

And before you ask, the accepted conditions are formed from the real
experience of real pilots flying real airplanes for about a hundred years.

Yep, but not because they are dangerous.

Practically the same thing.

And what experience do you have to support this opinion?????? :YOUR
experience please in flying real airplanes. Or are you going to
continue to demonstrate you are not a credible source for flying real
airplanes

As stated in another
thread, the two are not the same (MSFS and real life piloting an
airplane)

Not identical, but very close.

Demonstrates you are not a credible source for flying real airplanes.

See above.

See above.

You don't fly a real airplane do you?

Not currently.
