Hi Les. I'm not sure what he meant with the TS prefix in "TS220," but I knew then he was wondering why I didn't want a "Mesa Departure" which is a 220 heading over Costa Mesa, to the coast, rather than an Orange Departure which would involve a climbing right turn to intercept a 330 heading back toward Orange. I think this is because most pilots would tend to fly to Santa Barbara by flying up the coast and then using one of the transitions through the LAX bravo, rather than departing on a 330 heading and flying completely around it like I did. The four VFR departures are mentioned here: (1) El Toro Depature (heading 080) (2) Newport Departure (heading 150) (3) Mesa Departure (heading 220) (4) Orange Departure (heading 340, was 330). www.ocair.com/business/general-aviation/pilot-information/pilot-guide/ Have fun on your flight! If you ever find out what "TS" means, let me know! Joe

@@jandras1 Thank for the detailed reply, @Joe. I’ve asked my instructor twice if I could fly the special flight rules route, but the school policy is “no”. I’m flying a very similar route to yours. Do you have a video of the other legs (to KCMA and back to KSNA)?

@@LesGainous Hi Les. I don't think Sunrise ever lets its students traverse the bravo. I assume it's an insurance thing. And, no luck on the video for the other legs. The battery life on my video camera back then was barely enough to get to SBA.

Now I feel old.

Hi Dajilus. That's pretty much what they sound like. However, it's usually a very scripted dance so, once familiar, you can interpret what they are saying because you already have some expectation of the questions they will ask or instructions they will give. I have an old cheat-sheet "script" I made showing both sides of the conversation when on the ground and in the air I'd be happy to share. It's tied to operations at John Wayne. I practiced both sides of the conversation when driving to and from work to embed it in my head to some degree. If you're interested, let me know. Joe

How'd it go?

Ah, thanks for asking. Just great. Flight up the coast was nice. You are absolutely right about finding the airport amidst all the street and freeway lights. So glad I found your vid...

Haha

Hi Joey - 80? I'm not sure where that number comes from. Under FAR 61.1(4)(i), cross-country time is logged during a flight from one airport to another without regard to the distance between them, but under FAR 61.1(4)(ii), you can only meet your experience requirement for solo cross-country flights (5 hours) with cross-country flights > 50 nm. This flight counted for solo cross-country experience because the straight-line distance between KSNA and KRNM is 70 nm. Under FAR 61.109(2)(iii), the required experience also includes a long solo cross-country flight that is > 150 nm total distance with 3 full-stop landings and with at least one segment being > 50 nm. Thus, the flights from John Wayne to Ramona and back were logged as cross-country flights, but not as the long flight.

Joshua - very cool that you're getting back in the air. Ramona was definitely hard for me to find since that first solo was also my first time into Ramona. I haven't flown since Covid became a thing, so I'm gonna be a little rusty when I restart. Have fun! Joe

Very cool. Looks like you should should have great conditions. Let me know how it goes.

Cross Country Solo flights are pretty easy to do IF you plan it correctly. As for the weather, as long as you pay attention to the weather reports and make sure you have all of the right information before you take off. Remember, YOU are the Pilot In Command.

Hi FWDSlip, still flying! But, not for a couple of months now. Joe

@@jandras1 Please hit me up. I used to live in Irvine but moved to Las Vegas for my training (kasrak@uci.edu)

Wow, thank you for such a kind comment. Since I'm just a "for fun" pilot, it sounds like you could teach me a thing or three now! Have fun with a long career! I'm a little jealous. :) Joe

Haha. Yeah, sometimes it sounds exactly like that

Hi Alexander, it's an Evektor SportsStar.

Its hard to land if u use cessna 172 but this plane is so smooth to land 💓

Alexander Dela cruz Ha. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I thought the SportsStar was squirrelly, and thought I learned to fly a bit better because of it. I have been flying a Cessna 172 for the past couple of years and they seem very forgiving to ham fisted control and much easier to land.

@@jandras1 Your a PRO pilot sir i salute to you. I hope we meet soon and more uploads to come from your youtube channel -greetings here in philippines

I'm not sure to exactly where in the video your referring, but aviation times are given in "zulu" time, aka Greenwich Mean Time or GMT, so that they don't vary from location to location and cause confusion. And, in California, we are either GMT-7 or GMT-8 depending on the time of year. The difference is 7 hours in the summer during "Daylight Saving Time." In other words, 2020z translates to 1320 local, i.e. 1:20 PM.

@@jandras1 i was talking about time stamp (4:05) and yes you cleared my doubt what i was asking !!

Hi Karen, I agree. Mark was an awesome instructor. Joe

Hi Sagar, I assume you're asking about the tower controller's end-of-night announcement that starts at 6:05, where she says, "the ILS runway 26R is operating unmonitored." If you look on the official chart supplement (link below), you'll see that the tower at Chino airport (KCNO) is operated only part-time. It's near the middle, next to "TOWER", you can see that the tower only operates from 1500z to 0500z. Converting to CA time, that's from 7am local to 10pm local. And, if you look down near the bottom, it says "Unmonitored when ATCT closed," where ATCT evidently means Air Traffic Control Tower. Basically, the controller was telling everybody listening that she's going home and will no longer be monitoring (i.e. watching and controlling) the runways, including the one with an instrument landing system (ILS). In other words, she's telling you that you are on your own. Link: aeronav.faa.gov/afd/05dec2019/sw_110_05DEC2019.pdf

@@jandras1 Thank you for clarifying. I am considering to take flying lesson although I have a question, I smoke marijuana so how long should I wait till I start my pilot training. I could take Pilot training after a year or 6 months but just want to know how long should I wait to be clear- 3,6 months or a year. So that I clear medical and start to learn.

@@sagargholap6266 Hi Sagar. I'm really not sure about marijuana, but I think it can be a big deal if you want a standard medical certificate. When I filled it out, the FAA application for medical certificate asks you if you have "substance dependence or failed a drug test *ever*; or substance abuse or use of illegal substance *in the last 2 years.*" (18.n.), and also asks if you have a history of arrests or convictions relating to alcohol or a drug, or where ever directed to a rehabilitation program. (18.v.)

@@sagargholap6266 If you've used in the past 2 years, it appears that your choices are to lie or to wait.

@@jandras1 I will wait. Thank you for replying.

Ha. No, I trimmed out a bunch of silent flying.
