As an amateur in the real world I have  a nasty habit of  quick keying. This has resulted in half of my call being chopped off on a good day. What I do is count to 3 before speaking when  keying, then count to 3 or so before unkeying. My radio is dead right now, but I hope I make sense.

Basically what i mean about sponning or whaat ever you guys call it, repositioning for lack of a better term,  is for now we don't have a way to taxi via the taxi ways given by ATC. What I'm hoping is if a controller reads my flight remarks I put in once I do file a plan they will be understanding. Some are by the book, and I respect that, however I kind of won't be able to get off the ground then. lol! By the way I do not mind waiting to reposition. I know other vBI pilots on here have, and that's totally fine, so long as I have the fuel to do so of corse.

I'm not ready to even attempt LAX. Yuck!  Hehaha! As someone on another group I'm a part of told me, hopefully I can kill those butterflies with a big knife, or something like that. and yes I have heard mistakes in the real world. I do enjoy listening to live ATC on my way to work, or heading into and out of meetings etc, or after I teach classes for the day. I've heard some odd things. lol!

thanks for the advice and encouragement, hopefully soon if I'm not busy teaching will you hear a nervous me on there  at a not so busy airport. Might try unicom first, then hope for the best.

By the way I have some suggestions in regard to some accessibility modifications for VPilot. To whom can I or others speak about this? If you don't know I respect that.

Blessings.

Yeah I can't taxi to gates or even slew to them. As our AP won't let us which is kind of odd. But you use what you have and what you can get.

I use pro-ATC/x so I'm familar with the terms etc, plus I had a family member who worked at an airport years ago, plus I do listen to live aTC a lot as I have an air port near me lol! Think I might try tonight  if I work up the nerve to do this. Man this reminds me of my first field day experience. Lol!

Hello. I'm just introducing myself. I've ben flight simming now since about September of last year. I use prepar  as my simulator. I also use some extra tools as I am a visually impaired flight simmer. This is  my first time on vat sim and I am very nervous to  do my first flight as some controlers might not let me spaun to a runway. I cannot as a visually impaired taxi as I can't see taxi ways, at least not yet, not until someone comes up with a way for us to do so, one day maybe.

 Since the code of conduct says inclusive for all, I am hoping I won't run into controllers who will not let me spaun, as long as I let them know in my flight remarks. I don't want to be rude or appear nasty as I really am not. I'm pretty much an easy going person.

I am also  a ham operator and love that hobby. So here's hoping I don't accidentally use my call sign and not the plane's lol! I joke about it but here's hoping I don't do it as I do know the difference. Lol!

If you have any questions on how I as a visually impaired pilot actually fly, please ask either as a pilot or if you are a controller. I can't wait to do my first flight on vat sim, I am extremely terrified though  so here's hoping I don't make any mistakes.

Blessings to all
