In the link you provided:Looks perfectly legal to me.
SeeYou has a feature to check airspace violations and here is what it tell about your flight:Airspace in Detail: Class C
...To operate inside or above Class C airspace, all aircraft are required to have a Mode C transponder (up to 10,000 msl)...
Well then, how are we to view your suggestions when you don't follow them yourself?NMERider wrote:In case anyone is interested in the best way to proceed I offer the following suggestions:
Don't cross the 210 Freeway unless:
1 - You are an expert X/C pilot flying a 14:1 hang glider and have a GPS equipped with the airspace displayed on the map screen.
2 - You have an aviation radio set to 120.400MHz and are able to notify SoCal ATC of your presence.
2a - You have a working cell phone and can call Burbank Tower at 818-764-9958 or SoCal ATC at 858-537-5912 and let them know you will be at 6K or above in the general area.
3 - You have more than enough altitude to remain above the 4,800' MSL Class C ceiling.
4 - You know where the yellow areas of the FAA Los Angeles Sectional are located and are able to avoid these.
The X/C flying I do is purely recreational but is serious business and if emulated likely can end tragically. I make videos so that others can enjoy it vicariously.

How exactly did I attack your "character"?nmerider wrote:On top of this, you followed up with an attack on my character. What does this say about the SHGA?
Don't speak in generalities, if you have "facts" bring them forward, maybe we can learn from them. Why would "many" new pilots actually confide in you rather than other pilots here in Sylmar? News to me. But even so, you're changing the subject here anyway.nemrider wrote:Here's a hint: I have had many new pilots tell me that they have either quit the sport entirely or moved on to other flying sites for their training because of this negative culture of the SHGA.
Might want to look around, the club seems to be doing just fine. What we're trying to do is follow the rules that have allowed this club to exist as long as it has. Working with the forest service and the local FAA have been a benefit to the club. SHGA has good community standing and a nice positive outlook from the communitynmerider wrote:The SHGA will eventually fade into oblivion Jeff. It's a dying club and it is being killed by its own culture of pettiness and back-biting. Don't allow yourself to be swayed by that. You are a wiser and better mannered person than this. Don't let me down.
So when Alex actually checked your track log against airspace violations, was he also making false accusations? Do you require special consideration?nmerider wrote:What you did was to make a false accusation against me on a public forum without even giving me the courtesy of an email or a telephone call in private before you shot your mouth off
I do not want anything from you other than you considering what you do effects the future ability of others to continue to enjoy flying in Sylmar.nmerider wrote:The next time you want something from me that could possibly me controversial in nature I suggest that you speak with me in person or ask questions via email.
LOLOLOL!!!!!!!Mr Poopy Pants wrote:Oh and one other thing, would LOVE to see your new portable Mode C Transponder, for when you are operating in class C airspace.
How is it powered?
