If I had a nickel for every time someone reported severe turbulence and loss of speed or altitude control, and I calmly replied, "roger, when able maintain 7,000 feet, 210 knots" last Friday night, I could probably buy a grande venti (whatever their extra large is) Starbucks coffee. :)  Flown through that (VATSIM and RW) and it ain't fun; glad there wasn't much turbulence in my chair in front of a radar scope the other night. ;)

Many thanks!  One can only plant so many tulips in retirement before going out of his cotton-pickin' mind! :)

True testament to Cessna aircraft.  The Boeing had to be modified, but the Cessna was just fine as-designed, as-built! :)

And, just in case you were not aware, the exam is only for student controllers.  There is currently no test required for you to fly on the network.

Thanks so much, Matt, great insights.  I look forward to a Descent version (that's where I sometimes run into "oddities"....).  Thanks!

VFR-on-top is an IFR operation... how else would you get through the layer?
This is VATSIM... Can't you just spawn there?   ;) ;) ;)
