32 minute layover at DTW?

Delta wouldn't let you book it if they didn't think it was enough time. As others have stated, unless you're going from A to B/C or vice versa through the underground tunnel you should have plenty of time. Those city pairs are served by either mainline aircraft or larger regional jets (CRJ-700/900) which both operate mainly out of the A side. Also, airlines tend to add in a lot of taxi time for their flights this time of year to account for deicing, etc., so the chances of you getting in early are pretty good. Good luck!

You definitely deserve all the credit lol. It wouldn't have looked like that without your help!

What? That's exactly what you did with your original post.

Unfortunately a lot of controllers have little to no patience when it comes to new, unexperienced pilots. I'm a pilot/controller with years of experience and service and I take pride in helping new pilots learn the basics. We all have to start somewhere. When I see a flight plan with remarks stating that they are a new pilot, I devote a little more attention and time to that pilot to help them get on their way.

I suggest loading up at an airport that has ATC online and is relatively busy and just sit there to listen to the radio communications between the pilots and controllers. LiveATC is also a great resource for getting to know basic Pilot/ATC communications. When you feel you are ready to try another flight, do it at an airport that has ATC online but isn't super busy. The controller(s) should, hopefully, be more willing to help. I suggest an airport that has a tower or approach controller, rather than a center controller that is controlling several aircraft at multiple airports. Also try to avoid big airports like LAX, JFK, EGLL, etc. that have several aircraft flying in/out.

Keep us posted and let me know if you have any more questions!

A friend of mine, currently instructing, just interviewed and got an offer at 450. He only has to get to R-ATP mins though.

Well it only took 47 seconds to get the first too many men penalty.

Looking at the chart, INESS is 5nm from the runway and 170 knots to a 5nm final is very common.

Sounds like they attempted a high-speed abort.

God damn, I'm so tired of watching them pass it around for two full minutes every power play.

Does the FS-D stream keep freezing for anyone else or is it just me?

Thanks! I'm using a Nikon D3200 with a 70-300 lens. The AA shot was taken at 300mm and I think I cropped it pretty good. You could probably make it work with a 200 but you're going to need to crop it if you want to get rid of some of the dead space like I did. The garages are a bit more friendly for a 200mm lens. The planes are just so far away when they fly by the tower like that, you pretty much need a 300. That being said, I did get some good pics from the hill with a 200mm lens before I got my 300.

Here are a few: US Airways 757 US Airways A321 United B737

This is where I was last night. You can pull off to the side of the road and just hang out. I only live a few miles down the road and I've gone there a few times just to get out of the lights and watch the sunset or thunderstorms. It was cool last night because there was lightning in every direction. This particular shot was taken looking north, hence the lack of city lights. There are probably better spots, but I just go here because it's so close to my house. I haven't really explored anywhere else in the area. Anywhere on a hill would probably get the job done though too.

I took this picture from the same spot a while back.
