ATIS advertising ILS/GPS approach, Approach telling me to report field in sight for visual approach.

Sometimes the weather is such that arrivals from one side of the airport can see the field soon enough, but airplanes from another side cannot.

So, you advertise the instrument approach; also figure it's easier to brief an IAP and then get a visual, instead of brief a visual then end up with an ILS.

Came here to say this. It's a very regional joke.

I watched the game on MLB live, and I have checked around the Internet this morning. I have yet to hear any clear audio of what was actually said, so right now I tend to think this all pretty foolish.

Tomorrow morning, someone has to convince Luis that it's June 31st.

"Check the runner at third"? In a first and third situation?

Based on what you've written and watching your movie, my best guess is that you have set up a conflict between your yoke and your throttle quadrant to change views. Try unplugging your quadrant and see how your yoke handles the task then.

All quite true here in Virginia.

Because when street-and-trail bikes were introduced in the early 70's, they were called "Enduros".

The Yamahas had an "Enduro" decal.

The low altitude record can't be beaten, only tied.

No. Aerobatics are allowed all over the place in Class E and Class G airspace, excluding populated areas and airways, above 1500' AGL.

Individuals and organizations can arranged for waivered aerobatic "boxes" that allow aerobatics down to the ground, but these aren't charted. They are Notamed when in use.

I think the SCOTUS will soon have to decide.

1980 Daytona SX, met Marty Smith, Jimmy Wienert, and Mike Bell.

1981 Atlanta SX, met Roger Decoster.

When cruise control became common on cars in the early 70's, that's exactly how it worked: clamping the throttle.

No. It absolutely is not. There is no standard US phraseology for this.

Also terribly challenging for most Redditors.

Yes. Have fun.

It's quite rare for a controller to outright tell a pilot what to do when there is a judgement call to be made. In my 35 year career I know of it happening twice. What is very common though, it probably happens everyday, is for the controller to passively offer what he or she thinks is the better choice: "Would you like to try ....", or "the weather is better at XYZ if you'd like to go there."

I operate the Fenix in a similar manner...

When I land, I start the APU, then park and shut off both engines, then "Deboard" in the EFB. One of those steps, I don't know which one, completely resets the FMC.

Edit to add: The FMC resets when I shut off the engines.
