Fly With That One Pilot Chick

by Ron Blehm

I know a young pilot in Washington State.

She is an FAA-Certified Private Pilot working on IFR and Commercial ratings. As she works through her flights and ratings, I thought that it may be fun for you all to join in on her adventures. I am NOT a GA pilot (I'm barely a sim pilot at all) but I did one of her night flights here:

Proposal:

Every few weeks I will share one of THAT ONE PILOT CHICK's real-world flights and ask that you all repeat the flight in your FS. You can either post the video / pictures on YOUR YouTube and share the link or you can send your screen shots / videos to me and I'll post it with links on our next feature.

Thoughts:

ONE: You all can join in as a real-world pilot works her way though the learning and aviation / type-rating process.

TWO: You can share your own experiences here with other simmers.

THREE: I'll share real-world photos and videos from around the Pacific Northwest and you all can share sim-world photos and videos of your flights to the same locations.

Flight One:

I can't be sure that this is where That One Pilot Chick got started with loving aviation but one of her first-ever flights was from Scappoose Oregon (KSPB) to Pacific City (KPFC).

Depart KSPB to the north and once through 5,000 feet turn left heading 228° and fly to the coast. We used 3S7 as a waypoint before turning south (heading 185°) and making a left pattern approach into KPFC runway 32.

After enjoying lunch at the beach you can return to KSPB. As noted, please take screen shots and videos to share next time.
