Readback: July 2017

I just got around to trying Jeff Van Wests IFR Sim Challenge from the Feb. 2017 issue. Its great! Many of us use desktop simulators like Prepar3d to practice instrument procedures. This makes it really challenging in a useful way. Please keep up this feature. Im sure it will only get better as you work on it.

Key Takeaways:

• The IFR Sim Challenge is a useful feature, adaptable for practice across various simulation platforms, including Microsoft Flight Simulator, without requiring specific downloads.
• Several factors are cited as contributing to the decline of general aviation, including increased airport restrictions and fees from large FBOs, limited access to airports near population centers, the "death of boredom" affecting youth interest, and the demanding American work culture impacting time and money for aviation.
• A pilot expressed frustration with Apple's practice of restricting charging cables after software updates; the editor confirmed this issue and recommended alternative flight apps available for Android platforms like Garmin Pilot and WingX.
