This one was fun: a viewer request flight from Grand Canyon West to Sedona. We get to learn about VOR navigation and dead reckoning, do forward-slip on final, and there’s even a guest appearance from my favorite co-pilot. A great flight. Thanks for watching!

I’ve had requests to make tutorials, so with this video I’m starting a new “Simmer Tutorials” playlist at YouTube that I hope will help simmers bring more real-world procedures to their flight simulation. I know bringing more real-world process to my own simming has been one of the things I’ve enjoyed most as I’ve done my own…

This short quiz on runway lights and signage at BoldMethod is good for simmers wanting to know a bit more about what some of those lights and stripes mean. (I went five for six, personally.)

Tom has released a gauge set for the Carenado CT210M. They should work great with that plane, and I suspect they will work with other aircraft as well as they probably use SIMCONNECT variables. I’m going to try the manifold pressure gauge in the Cardinal 177. Get them here.

I have a number of pieces of Saitek gear that I’ve replaced over the past year, and I’d like to offer them for sale to regular readers of this blog before I take them to eBay. Here they are, and all are in great condition unless I have stated otherwise. In each case I’ll sell…

Conditions for today’s lesson looked relatively benign, but don’t be fooled by the appearances. While our winds on the field were 300 @ 6 knots, we quickly learned on takeoff that at about 200 feet they were cranking much, much stronger. I’m not sure how strong, but at 3,000 they were about 39 knots. This…
