I'm not the one who plans to use a navaid with a chart without ever noticing
that the one he wants to use is missing a frequency.

If you actually knew anything about real flight planning you would know
what you just said is babbling drivel.

Statistics from real life, obviously, though you are starting from the

What would you call a spin?

An acrobatic maneuver; nothing more, nothing less.

Is it a dangerous maneuver? Does it require training?

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.

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

Yes.

For you it is a delusion that you are actually doing something you can never
actually do.

What leads you to believe that I am deluded? And what makes you think I could
never fly a real airplane?

Your words.

Since it isn't being done, it seems the entire world disagrees with you.

Wait and see.

YES IT IS.

Perhaps to you, but not to everyone.

WRONG. Much to your chagrin, there is MUCH more to flying a real
plane then MSFS. As stated before, ONLY one example is inner ear
balance. I never got leans in front of my computer. I never reached
over to tune a radio in IMC on MSFS. I have never had anything bad
happened to me when I crashed in MSFS. I won't test that in real
life.

What type of aircraft was this?

I talk from experience in both the sim and real world. What is your
experience in a REAL plane (NOT MSFS or desktop computer) on an IFR
flight plan in IMC????

Well, I've certainly been a passenger on such flights, and I've never
developed the leans or spatial disorientation to an extent that would have
interfered with flying.

Let's just try; Most people are not as dishonest as yourself.

I have a reputation for being honest to a fault.

If you tell a real pilot you fly a Citation X, he has no reason to doubt it.
Lots of people fly this airplane. But when you tell him you fly it alone, and
you are "not interested" in CRM or flying with others, he will understand you
are full of it.

He will understand that I don't actually fly the real airplane. So what?

By the time it gets to where you REALLY don't know whether a
Beech Baron has an ejection seat, well then he's the one having fun at your
expense. Not that you would notice.

If he finds that fun, he is easily amused.

The term for that is lying through ommision.

Omission isn't lying.

Demonstrates you are not proficient in flying real planes.

A total lack of PIC time demonstrates nothing at all. I might be proficient
the first time I flew. Conversely, there are many pilots with hours of PIC
time who are not proficient.

In fact, you can't even say you are a proficient pilot. Maybe a
proficient MSFS pilot, but not a pilot of a real plane.

Practically the same thing.

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.

Which is more then what you know.

No, it's not. Sometimes they know less about their flying than I do, which is
a bit worrisome.

You don't fly a real airplane do you?

Not currently.

I flew a Beech Sundowner. I don't need to know anything about Beech
Barons, Sieras, Lears, Citations do I? All I need to know is what a
Beech Sundowner does in the real world.

True. So I apparently know a lot more than you do about Barons and Citations,
since I fly those regularly in simulation.

Nothing bad happens to me with my Beech Sundowner add in on MSFS.
Worst thing that happens is I restart MSFS.

That's one of the advantages to simulation.

I can't say the same in my real life Beech Sundowner or something
really bad will happen.

Yes, that time may come. Probably in IMC.

Never getting upset with you is a tool not a positive trait.

Get upset is a positive trait, then? I have to disagree about that, too.

In my opinion it's simply part and parcel of your carefully
chosen Usenet "persona".

Actually, I'm not easily upset in real life, either. I often have to
exaggerate or invent emotion in order to get people to take me seriously, as
they assume I cannot be serious about something unless I'm emotional about it.

I've watched this coming from you now for a long enough
period to more than get a positive read on you. By not "getting
upset", you simply wade through the virtual tons of negative responses
you carefully generate and achieve what you apparently view as a
"victory" against your antagonists.

I think that keeping a cool head is a victory in just about any situation. If
you are carried away by your emotions, bad things tend to happen ...
especially when you are flying a plane (just to try to keep the discussion
connected to aviation).

By doing this you obviously
believe you are in your mind anyway demonstrating to the world your
complete superiority over your adversaries; the pilots you so
obviously believe are your intellectual inferiors. :-)

They are not necessarily my intellectual inferiors. But if they panic in an
airplane the way they fly off the handle here, they are accidents waiting to
happen. And if I had no conscience, people like them would make me a
billionaire.

As for the FAA, I never talked

That assertion was your own.
I might have guessed it had no basis in fact.
