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 valuable and adaptable tool for pilots to practice instrument procedures, usable with various simulators (including MS Flight Simulator) or even through mental "arm-chair flying."
• General Aviation (GA) is perceived to be in decline due to several factors, including excessive Homeland Security restrictions, high FBO fees and limited access at larger airports, America's work culture leading to a lack of leisure time, and the "death of boredom" impacting interest in flying among youth.
• Pilots are frustrated with Apple's proprietary practices, such as software updates that render non-certified charging cables unusable, leading to a desire for more diverse flight application options on Android and other operating systems.
