91.703 provides an exemption for civil aircraft outside the US (I believe that's 12nm offshore), but mentions you must still comply with certain sections of 91.117 if conditions exist.
That is correct.

« on: February 12, 2020, 01:37:16 PM »DVA will forever be discovery air so long as there are pilots misguided enough to fly under it as DeltaSo it is ordered.
Sad ignorant question here... if this is such an issue, has anyone reached out to the VA to encourage them to educate their pilots and possibly even make it a policy to not fly a DVA 3LD?
Yes.

I would imagine the training staff at ZTL can still accommodate you, and its an extremely active facility.

As Hoppie does not utilize the network, it is not restricted. Given the FSL Airbus’ increased usage of it, I think it’s warranted to look into it for everyone (but it can be a bit of juggling between it and the controller client). But you are under no obligation to provide service with it.

Steve,
One of the slides before the video says:
"Many of the facilities in VATUSA have the sector files available for download to the public from their website."
Thanks for the definitive list there Brin.

Clay,
The Check for Understandings are not the actual exam you take. Upon completion of the Block 1 and Block 2 CBTs the system will assign you the VATUSA Basic/S1 Exam. After passing that exam you can select ZBW.

« on: December 17, 2019, 07:12:09 AM »Just a note for everyone, this is going to be our first time using Google Meet so please bare with us. It lacks the flexibility of our previous system, Zoom.
We will have zoom ready in case we encounter issues, but as it only provides for 40 minute meeting lengths we may need to get a little creative.
Ryan,
Thanks, never actually thought of Discord. We may utilize that if google hangout fails to give us what we need in lieu of zoom. I will be streaming it for twitch's auto recording purposes too.
Have you considered Discord? You can "Go Live" in a server voice channel and share your screen. We used this with a ZOA meeting recently and it worked out alright.

Thanks. I did go over them again for any typos today and should have them all resolved. As for the images I am unsure on what you are referring to so I will wait for your e-mail.
