    Up in the more remote Northern territory of Canada we have lots of airports with no radar coverage, and sometimes no cell phone coverage either. You have to use an old school landline to cancel IFR, or you can cancel IFR in the air (especially if you know the controler is laddering the traffic behind you and waiting for you to report leaving an altitude... But canceling IFR in the air comes with its own set of risks flying VFR into remote areas where there is no radar or comms till you are on the ground.
    That was a great video. I learned something new about "Happy Thursday". 😊

    • @pilotkaity
      @pilotkaity  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I fly into a lot of airports like that as well and it gets tricky when there is not cell service! Do you normally try to cancel in the air for those? Tough when it’s hard IFR though

    Loved the video - I fly around Washington DC and talk about busy airspace, not to mention the DC SFRA, POTUS TFRs. I will often fly to the coast just to have breakfast Ocean Front and I always pickup Flight Following (ATC) to keep an eye on me. Maybe suggest a GoPro suctioned on the windshield side to include some views of landing, taking off, etc.

    This is terrific… +1 subscription from me ✅. I have two daughters and they have been a reluctant about flight training, despite my encouragement that the field is not impossibly male-dominated, with no opportunities for women… thankfully this is not 1970 🙌. I’ll share this video, and all of your content with them, and hope they will take it to heart and let CFI Dad (me) or someone instruct them, to get their certs and ratings…. and then they can learn and pass on the “Happy….” day or the week greeting, and be get out there as strong women professional pilots. Great content, keep it up. 👊

      You know I’m not really sure how that would go. I think it’s generally just a nice thing to say. I would think it was nice but I’m not sure if some other women would feel like it’s not the same. I guess being nice is never a bad idea

    how crazy you have to relay that over cell phone or to the other airplane.. she's already on the ground, you'd think they would have just cancelled her automatically. Or you think they'd use a different technology to not have that type of problem. Amazing after all these years the radios are still so full of static in the communications, amazing we even need centralized controllers, would be nice to think up something better, not even need to have anyone on the ground.

    I hate talking on the radio. Always afraid I’m going to miss something or say something wrong.
    Women have been important in aviation for a long time. I’m part of a B25 Squadron and we have mainly women pilots. It’s always funny at the Airshows when I tell people we have women pilots. They are like , Women fly these !? I tell them, hell , women built them, test flew them and flew the to the war fronts .
