@hidumboidiot Hi Sam - the throttle is controlled manually by the pilot. Jets have "auto throttle" but we're not there yet in small planes. So the autopilot flies the approach (lateral and vertical) and the pilot controls airspeed with throttle. -Greg

  @Shelz355 thank you. I enjoy making them. The kneeboard is the "Wings Aviation 9G Plus Kneeboard. (I don't use the 3-ring binder part with the clear pouches)

  @revowild - I asked for the full approach with procedure turn. Vectors to final outside JOTLY would have been most efficient. -Greg

  @revowild good question. I was at the fuel pump. While receiving my clearance, an airplane pulled up behind us, so I wanted to get out of his way. Ordinarily I would have done everything in the same spot. -Greg

  @theREALpianoman0615 manufacturer is "wings aviation" but I don't see it on their website any more. Just a small little clipboard with leg strap is all you need.

  @Gibson2471 - "with x-ray" tells the controller that we have listened to the current weather broadcast for that airport. Each hour (or sometimes more frequently in rapidly changing weather situations) a new weather observation is made and it gets assigned a letter - alpha, bravo, etc. -Greg

  @newyorkstyle350 no specific advice except to enjoy yourself! The Cirrus is a great fun airplane - have fun and respect it. (Things happen a lot faster than they do in a C172!)

  @jmillski1 The older Cirrus have 2 GPS units and 4 power sources (ALT1, ALT2, BAT1, BAT2). In this case the portable GPS is used for XM weather and music, since that particular aircraft does not have those features installed. Thanks for watching!

  @rdrd4544 - no offense taken. I'm 5'8" and I do scoot the seat way up. I have instructed lots of big/tall folks and they all remark how "roomy" the SR22 is. You'll do fine. Fly safe, Greg

  @87RotorHead - thanks- but the landings aren't always that pretty :) A stabilized approach and proper landing airspeed is paramount. And lots of practice. Grab your local CSIP instructor and ask for a lesson using the 'landing recurrency' syllabus... -Greg

  @smacman68 It's the code for the current weather. Towered airports issue hourly weather broadcasts (or more frequently in quickly changing conditions) and each new broadcast gets assigned a letter. So when you "have information hotel" or "with hotel" it confirms to the controller that you have li...

  @4252applebee Yeah the SR22 will tend to hook people on flying! Tracy is a great airport (we come there all the time to practice windy landings!). Best of luck with the rest of your PPL!
