Calgary has the FLAAM arrival and Edmonton has OILRS but I don’t think there are any further references to hockey in the fixes that are included.

Best one I know was up by Fort Smith, NWT; BALLS. What was even more fun was Canadian Regional and Canadian North used to fly F28s in there all the time, which led to smartasses making radio calls along the lines of "I've got the little Fokker by the BALLS" Sagebrush posted:I still don't know if it's mee-tar or meh-tar or may-tar It's pronounced "Aviation Routine Weather Report"  e.pilot posted:There’s a really good one I saw somewhere over Kansas or Nebraska but I can’t for the life of me remember it.

The best approach is the RNAV 16 at PSM, where the fix names are, if flown from the NW- ITAWT ITAWA PUDYE TTATT IDEED Also that one in Maine where two of the fixes are DAANK and MEEMZ but that one is just an irony-poisoned FAA employee and not actually a good joke

Because I have nothing better to do: BALLS is the FAWP for RNAV 14 into Hay River. So I guess it'd be "Cleared the approach, report BALLS"

I actually got the phraseology backwards, it’s “cleared direct a-whore, RNAV one-three to airglades airport, report cocksuck for your frequency change.”  We don’t issue many approaches, sadly. It’s always amazing when someone requests that practice approach and tries to make the fixes inoffensive.

Today my PPL candidates showed entirely superior aircraft management skills and situational awareness compared to my CPL candidate and now I don’t know if I should be happy or sad. I’m starting to think the personality conflict my CPL candidate had with his previous instructor may not have been as much the instructor’s fault as I had thought. To be fair, that instructor is a bit of a prick sometimes (aren’t we all?) but he had this student’s number.

I'm doing some therapy for fear of flying using VR goggles and some of the youtube 360 videos. Do any of you know if there are VR videos available that show commercial flights? So far I've just seen the fighter jet kind of stuff.

I don't know about VR, but there are plenty of trip reports on YT people post about travel experiences which, while not VR/360 degree, would at least give you a sensation of looking out the window and in the cabin at cabin service.

Thanks. Yeah I'm pretty familiar with all those window view videos, which I'm using as part of a cognitive behavioral therapy program. I was just wondering if anything like that existed for VR to give myself a more intense experience. The thing I get most upset about is descending when I'm still above, and going through, clouds.

e.pilot posted:lollin at MIA-ATL being done in an L-1011 My first ever 767 flight was MIA-ATL on a 763 in 1997- that was the second departure of the morning (the first was an L-1011). The only reason I remember is I looked at the plane and thought it was a 757 until I saw the "Boeing 767" titles behind the 2L door and got excited. There's a book about Delta exiting bankruptcy I've been reading off and on over the last couple years and it talks about how DL used widebodies on shorthaul routes well into the early 2000s out of the perception it was a better experience for passengers. ATL-MCO was almost all widebody, including 777s and MD-11s at one point, in part to keep the planes moving.

All of the Big Three seem to still have heavies on hub-hub flights even today. Now things like CVG-BDL on a 767-200... hobbesmaster posted:Somewhere I found a circa early 1970s ad that was for a Delta 747 on something like ORD-DAL which was a giant That might have played into both airline regulation and the fact that airlines competed on service back then because they couldn't do so on fares and everybody had to have a 747.

Re: Kobe Went into KVNY today for a lesson, we scrapped and did ground because it was super terrible. Pretty much everyone scrapped. Just sad stuff. I fly over that spot twice a week, I can see how in IFR conditions you can have a hill come out of nowhere.

“Class C surface area is IFR, say intentions” “Maintain special VFR, transition into the 101 westbound” Closest METAR I found: KBUR 261716Z 00000KT 2 1/2SM HZ OVC011 12/08 A3016 RMK AO2 T01170083 SVFR is 1 SM right?

Yeah, iirc SVFR essentially lets you go down to class G minimums of 1sm visibility and clear of clouds.

Ty all for the IFR primer - I'll probably be there ... next year? I'll get there when I get there. But uh. I was assuming everything in the valley was IFR because you just straight up couldn't see a thing. I was on the road right next to the runway and you couldn't see anything taking off, visibility was ... well, as the METAR said. That's so stupid.
