Sim Challenge Workout
I love the magazine! Amazing work all around.
I just completed Jeff Van West’s November Sim Challenge (around Monterey, CA) on my own simulator. Wow! That was a challenge.
Readback: March 2020
Key Takeaways:
- Pilots highly value simulator challenges for realistic flight practice and request more of these "workouts" from the magazine.
- BasicMed aircraft requirements were clarified, specifically addressing that the six-seat limit refers to an aircraft's certified capacity, not a general certification requirement.
- A reader's dismissal of a weather accident as "destiny" was refuted by the editor, who emphasized the critical lessons to be learned from such incidents regarding hazardous pilot attitudes and the importance of combining weather briefings with real-world observations.
- Older non-WAAS GPS navigators like the Garmin GNS 430 may omit certain approach fixes from their databases due to storage limitations, which can affect pilot situational awareness.
