VFR flight report to test my Montgomery Field (KMYF) scenery to Santa Monica (KSMO) with Say.Intentions (SI). Great immersion and a lot of up and down :

• A lot of VFR and IFR (liners) traffic around. I had better to do than spotting traffic, was focused on my trajectory But the constant radio chatting is awesome. Mostly for GA lovers and US english voices quality.
• A lot of communications and some cool airspace changes, some airspace to cross. Maybe not as much as in real.
• Unfortunately a total confusion by SI at departure with the tricky Bravo airspace layers at San Diego just after Mount Soledad with a sandwich of Bravo’s and small room for VFR that SI didn’t integrated (see below).
• Great surprise like “I’ve coordinated your transition through the Santa Ana Charlie. Maintain current altitude. Remain this frequency.” Glad to hear.
• Some disappointment when SI didn’t understand my read back to report on base at Santa Monica and then loose his mind “You are leaving my airspace, frequency change approved. Good job”. Need to insist several time "Hey, I’m there and need my landing clearance, please).

In short, as I’m flying only VFR, mostly in US, MSFS2024+Say.Intentions is the best solution so far.

The full route from San Diego to Los Angeles, with all the radio calls as seen from the flight log SI web portal:

Holding point 28L at San Diego Montgomery Field (KMYF), ready to go:

SI didn’t get the VFR out of Bravo room between 3’200 ft and 6’800. Inside this layer, I shouldn’t have received a “You have not been cleared into the Bravo airspace!! Exit the Bravo immediately. Once clear, advise when ready to copy phone number for possible pilot deviation.”. Certainly tricky to code into SI:

Approaching LAX as seen from the Live Map of the Say.Intentions app (white spots are ground traffic, purple AI injected by SI). Great job of LAX controllers for the sequencing

 

Unfortunately, SI is unable to manage the Special Flight Rules LAX VFR transition (air to air over LAX, squawk 1201, assigned altitude…). SI just cleared me into Los Angeles Bravo Airspace at my requested altitude (4’500 ft). Overflying LAX:

Searching for the Nakatomi plaza No, it’s a little bit up north

Falling from the sky (4500ft) to reach the right downwind pattern altitude, at 1370 ft:

Joining the right downwind 21 as seen by the Flight Log of Say.Intentions portal. You can spot the radio calls and tower lost his mind when it didn’t understand my readback (“Will report base”) and shot me a “You are leaving my airspace, frequency change approved. Good job”

Final runway 21 Santa Monica:

Nice shot on final at Santa Monica.

Fun and informative post…!

Noted your unusual exchanges with Say. Intentions…🙂…

Oh well…all is well that ends well…
