Utterly stupid. International flight plans are not the simple flight plan we use here in the US either. You may not have noticed, but Morocco isn't the whole of the non-American world. The link, obviously, was disconnected. "The link"? The "Link" was to what you asked "What is?" too, in other words, QFE/QHN. You are commenting on something you may not have complete knowledge of. Yes. That's why normal newsgroup practice is to quote enough of the message to which you're replying to establish a context, and to put your replies after what you quote. Otherwise people don't know what you're talking about. QFE is what was being discussed. Glad to hear it. In my comment, Morocco was noted as the most stupid of the flight plan requirement made by many countries. My flight experience is not limited to that country. I know well that Morocco isn't the whole of the non-American world. Glad to hear that too. From here it looked remarkably like hasty generalisation. Nor is the UK, asshole. Who mentioned the UK? Sorry Richard, but (whilst "asshole" is uncalled for in our newsgroup) you did deserve a strong response to your rather terse post. I followed what he was talking about. The thread is crossposted to rec.aviation.misc, so he was talking about how lucky the yanks are and was giving an example of how difficult aviation can be in other parts of the world. For Beaudoin, please don't use bad language to insult people on our (uk) newsgroup. Whilst we don't mind the odd four-letter word in chit-chat, is it quite unacceptable to use them to insult people. The reaction can be worse than the reason you insulted them in the first place. Ben. -- ....And so as the little andrex puppy of time scampers onto the busy dual-carriage way of destiny, and the extra-strong meat vindaloo of fate confronts the toilet Out Of Order sign of eternity... I see it is time to end this post. |

The "Link" was to what you asked "What is?" too, in other words, QFE/QHN. Ah, you mean a reference to a previous Usenet article. Links are what you find on web pages. As for what it was really about, read on... You are commenting on something you may not have complete knowledge of. Yes. That's why normal newsgroup practice is to quote enough of the message to which you're replying to establish a context, and to put your replies after what you quote. Otherwise people don't know what you're talking about. QFE is what was being discussed. Glad to hear it. (In fact, having refetched the article I see it was actually QNF. See why it's worth retaining enough of the original text to establish context?) In my comment, Morocco was noted as the most stupid of the flight plan requirement made by many countries.

From here it looked remarkably like hasty generalisation. Nor is the UK, asshole. Who mentioned the UK? Sorry Richard, but (whilst "asshole" is uncalled for in our newsgroup) you did deserve a strong response to your rather terse post. My post was making a point about his even terser post, which was context-free. I followed what he was talking about. Did you work out how it was related to the use of QNF? The thread is crossposted to rec.aviation.misc, so he was talking about how lucky the yanks are and was giving an example of how difficult aviation can be in other parts of the world. One example scarcely proves the blanket statement "Flying outside of the US is a chore". For Beaudoin, please don't use bad language to insult people on our (uk) newsgroup. Whilst we don't mind the odd four-letter word in chit-chat, is it quite unacceptable to use them to insult people. The reaction can be worse than the reason you insulted them in the first place. To haul this thread back to somewhere near the original topic, has anyone here ever used QNE? -- Richard Herring |

In article , beaudoin
wrote quoting no context whatsoever, I have on CW but not voice. On the assumption that you're talking about QNE, what were the circumstances? Likewise, if it should happen to be QNF. I have this vision of someone in a 152 with a big brass Morse key strapped to his leg, frantically trying to "read" back a clearance at 12 wpm. It is inapproprite when speaking. The spoken use of "QFE" and "QNH" is required in the UK at least, according to CAP 413. -- Richard Herring |

I do not quote any context whatsoever. Are your knickers in a twist? |

"beaudoin" wrote in message ... quoting no context whatsoever I do not quote any context whatsoever. Precisely; thus we have no idea to what you are responding, and the posts make little sense. Ali |

I didn't quote it. I wrote/typed it in.
If you can't tell who I am answering, just look at the where the post fits in the chronology. Isn't this much easier to read rather than with all the other jibberish. |

I have a Cessna 152 (N714WQ) but don't have a strap on leg key for Morse.
Morse is archaiac and we don't need to use archaiac Morse abbreviations any longer. Speak English d.... it. Dah di dah. |
