• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Down at RKPD. Just wish the weather had not gone to heck on approach. Got a little hairy there for a few minutes watching out for that volcano looming in the darkness. Three night flights completed.

Note: I had to pause for several minutes to answer the door. Not sure where to find that to minus out the minutes. Oh well, no biggie.

Down at RJTJ, not RJTY. VOR distance and NDB needle I thought were giving me wrong directions due to carelessness. What happened was I had drifted way off course and didn't trust the NBD when it said to veer hard right. Was running out of fuel so I put down the first airport I happened upon which was RJTJ. I have no FS navigation software other than the default planner so I could not access the map to doublecheck VOR & NDB freqs!

Thanks Vicious-

Drifted left again but made it okay to UHPP. Starting to not trust the drift gauge at all. Would have been more on course had I just flown a heading of 046 from the start. The 20-30 knt quartering tailwind from the left hardly had any effect with a 2 degree compensation.
