Landing in Minneapolis in heavy snow 07/12/01

Ken:

I sent them an email as soon as I finished the VATSIM session. Still, no response. It might be because I gave them a very low rating on that one. I am still waiting for a response, but don't expect to get one. Typical lack of communications, I expect.

I suggest that our VATSIM users send out an email to the MSP VATSIM staff once in a while and tell them how we feel, good or bad.

One thing to note, when you file your VATSIM flight plan, be sure to enter some comments. Tell them you do not have voice communications, for instance. Or, tell them that you are new to VATSIM so they do not expect a polished performance on your part. Or, tell them that you do not have the charts. Anything that would impact your VATSIM experience would be helpful.

Remember, you can always file VFR if the weather is good, but then make sure that you follow the VFR regulations. Look them up if you don't know them. Do you homework so you don't fly VFR into an airspace that requires an IFR flight plan, for instance.

Eric,

That is a great tip! Bob, your exactly right, use the Comments section of the flight plan to your advantage!
