Mentally unstable airline pilot forcibly removed from flight deck
Beauciphus writes:
Yet you use an incorrect procedure for getting the altimeter setting at the destination field. What is the correct procedure, then? In simulation, you can press B to get the current altimeter setting. Offline, you can listen to the ATIS of the nearest field. Online, you can ask ATC or check the current ATIS or METAR of the nearest field. For the destination field, you can tune the ATIS if it's within range and you are offline (sometimes online also), or you can ask ATC, or you can check the current METAR (online). |

I guess at my next annual I'll have to have a "B" installed. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

Anthony wrote and was quoted :
Fortunately, I landed uneventfully, even with the wind behind me (flying a pattern in the darkness didn't appeal to me, and the runway is long enough)." Well pointed out Terry. It seems that sims have different laws than we ordinary pilots who fly real aeroplanes |

None of the simulators I've used have a B button or online or offline mode. It sounds like you're describibg a video game. |

Desktop sims don't have an instructor, so the pilot handles everything. Online and offline modes refer to live connections to flight simulation networks, a standard feature on modern desktop simulators. The main advantage of networks for simming is that you can get realistic ATC from real people. It sounds like you're describibg a video game. I don't know of any video games that have features like this. Then again, I have little experience with video games. |

The program I have that comes closest to a game is online chess (although some might hold that chess is actually a war simulation). |
