Your May issue had "Surface Charts" by Tim Vasquez. This outstanding article has been long needed. I found it highly informative and I loved it. I am a former USAF pilot with 4500 hours total time, now mostly civilian. This is the type of information I find most helpful and valuable. Please provide more of this kind of information. (I note that the June issue includes an article on radar, also by Tim Vasquez.) Thanks. Most months we have a WxSmarts article written by Tim Vasquez. He'll occasionally weave in an article that analyzes a particular accident primarily with an eye on the contributions the weather made and what the pilot might have done differently. But, yeah, Tim keeps us fed with useful details about weather that are uniquely targeted at pilots. May's Sim Challenge was such a poorly written article to try on a flight simulator that I had trouble following the round robin path Jeff talks about. He should have described the start-middle-start airports first and then the route he wants us to try. As an instrument (advanced) student, I was lost, but I talked to my instructor and he was somewhat confused. It took us a while to figure it out so imagine this sitting in a plane with a meter running and trying this.
