We follow up the fail/pass sequence of the I-3 with the I-4 rating on PilotEdge. This is “Dealer’s Choice,” where the controller picks a destination and you must identify, file, and fly the correct TEC route. I get SNA to SMO, and I pass, but not cleanly.

Second time’s the charm. Same conditions as the first attempt: overcast 1,700 to 3,700, no GPS/moving map, no autopilot, hand flying the whole way. On to the I-4 …

The latest leg in my point-to-point flying, and this one takes the Saratoga from Idaho County (KGIC) to Spokane (KGEG), the current PilotEdge bonus field. In this hop we try a new camera angle. Let me know what you think. We also fly over homemade photorealistic scenery (with several interesting decisions to make about clouds…

I’m going to try to fly the “T to U” leg of the PilotEdge Alphabet Challenge today at 1:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM Zulu. Looks like nice VFR conditions in the forecast so that’s how I’ll be doing it, and I’ll be flying it in either a 172 or PA28-161, so it will be a…

(Note that it’s not after-hours anymore, but the name sticks.) You can learn more here,…

A user in the PilotEdge Discord server posted this, and it’s a good resource for those learning standard radio calls.
