What a bag of poo, by your logic,The same would be true of all transport modalities. If I was aboard a passenger ferry, asking to visit the bridge, as I'm an avid sailor, or the engine room, as an engineering and mechanics enthusiast. As an aviation enthusiast, I like to see the object of my enthusiasm up close and in action. Th reason why so many people enjoy airshows. In this community (avsim) this will be the dream chance to get to see how the front end operates.... As a civics and politics enthusiast is it wrong for me to take a tour of the capitol or the white house, or any other governmental building. This argiment could be stretched across a whole bucket of examples.... allio

Hey all... I emailed the Irish Aviation authority today with what I think is an error on one of their current charts. Am I correct in this error? opinions? Cheers Alan

I got the jumpseat for preflight, takeoff, and full ascent phase on an icelandair flight from keflavik to london in 2004. Went back to my seat (got bumped to first class too!) to get fed and watered. would have been cool to see out the flight but i had other duties on board (I was transporting a stretcher bound mate after a car crash). I managed to chat up the pilot pre flight as we were put on to the flight 45 minutes earlier than other pax due to the medical transport needs. Pilot came back to chat to us and I asked for the jump seat and he said no probs. It's radically different being in the front end for takeoff......

Is their any way to reduce the closest point of approach in radar contact for waypoints? it seems that my autopilot wants to start turns early and as a result doesn't pass close enough to the waypoint for radar contact to validate the waypoint. This leads to the ATC going balistic and directing me back to the missed waypoint. It seems at the moment I have to pass within 1 mile of the way point. Is there a way to increase this distance? cheers allio
