Stupid Guy in MCI Bravo

Maybe my comment was too general - the majority of my class B experience was flying into LAX during the 5 o'clock rush, comparing that to Seatle, is like comparing It's A Small World at Disneyland to Tatsu at Six flags!!

- every other plane has 2 pilots to manage the workload and so should you!!


i'll have to say nonsense on this one to. Im a young student pilot and i have flown into DFW class B twice solo and had no problems at all. I will say its easier to have 2 but can deff be managed by 1

If you have been there twice solo, then you have been there three times total right?

:)
 
Craig - Flying through, and landing at is very different. Ask your instructor to land there, and get back to me on what he says.
 
I agree, transitioning vfr is one thing as you can basically carry a conversation with your passenger the whole time....an ifr arrival is another game altogether. Overall, it's not that difficult once you get practice....then again, my only experience has been MCO, TPA and MIA so what do I know.
 
This was just meant to be kind of a funny post.

Truth be told, I feel that ATC messed up and so did I on a couple occasions. I got in and out no problem really. Lets be real for a minute, Class B and C are very similar minus the Clearance required and its busier. The time of day I arrived contributed to the confusion since it was quite busy at that time, and I am pretty sure ATC gets aggravated when a Skyhawk comes rolling in at 4:00PM. My so called safety pilot, was not as skilled as I thought he was, so I ended up going VFR once I entered Bravo anyways, and had to handle things myself. I compounded this by not getting my #### together before making the trip and made the mistake of depending on someone else. I WILL NOT, make that mistake again, or at least I will be certain of the competancy of my safety pilot. You would think that a Pilot with 10 years of experience would be more proficient. As well as know when to shut up. Again my mistake.

I learned this...
1. Make sure you know the skills of the guy you fly with.
2. Be more diligent about your pre-flight planning.
3. ATC makes mistakes also.
4. Admit your mistakes and move on.
 
The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.. :insane:

Hey, dont worry. If you never did it you'd never learn. Mistakes make us all much better.

I've done some real stupid •! in my day. Learn from it and move on.


Sidenote: When I was reading the first part of your post I thought to myself "Hey D-Dog, take it easy on this guy.

Is that beer I smell? Gotta run!!

I am with you on that. After a while under the hood, it's like, okay, make a right turn to 010. No, your other right. That's when I say, can we shoot an approach and land so I can collect my thoughts?

well to answer your question all 3 times i did land in class B and did not just flew through them.
 
You did not land at DFW - you probably went to some small airport that has less traffic then good looking kids at fat camp. Ask your instructor to take you into DFW, and you will see flying into large busy airports is a different game.

Maybe my comment was too general - I think there is a certain level of experience that you should meet before you go on your own into these busy class B airports - but considering I only have 140 hours and a PPL, I never got to that point.
 
ok yes i did misunderstand your post. I thought you just ment flying into an airport in the Class B. The busiest airport i've landed at is KFTW.

I guess you would have disagreed with my private instructor who gave me a Class B endorsement in SoCal then! I think Class B single pilot is no more challenging than single pilot IFR.

Some people are afraid of that too . . .

Well, you know, it is pretty dangerous.

And flying single pilot in Class B airspace? Oh my!!!!

:whatever:

Almost everything I read on here lately translates to something along the lines of: "blah blah blah blah blah." :confused: :(
 
Now guys, that's not being very nice to all the "other" crowd. Please be more considerate.

























HAHAHA Just kidding. Yes, I'm trying to stir up more trouble...maybe if I'm more of an • like Chris F, then people will just ignore what I say and just let me have my own way:yar: (well, the way of a few of us on the board, anyways)...maybe somebody out there will even listen...okay I'm really kidding now. Time for more beer to help out reading some of this.:banghead: :argue:
