If you have seen my Announcement about the e-mail course for new recruits to EHM and you would like to benefit from this information, please register with a short post in this thread with your full name and EHM Pilot ID. The first e-mail will then be sent to you within a few days....

Many thanks!

Quick update (I should really read the announcement before posting this, but...) the script that sends the email runs once a day, hopefully at midnight GMT. So if I add you to the list, don't expect the email immediately

@Jaap - added.

Hi Dom, would you be so kind and send me a copy of these E-mails. Would like to be informed how they look like, just in case, somebody would like some specific answer or info from me as HM. Thanks.

Peter,

I'll e-mail you

EHM-2033 Miguel · « **Reply #5 on:** May 05, 2007, 02:16:46 pm »

Would also like to receive those tutorials! As someone already said.. Never to late to learn something new!

Thanks in advance

I'd just like to ask does it have an explanation of following NDB's and VOR's? Reason I ask is because I learnt these with Rod Machado, and well, you see my point!

if so, please send me one!

EHM-1829 Trevor · « **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2007, 06:54:15 pm »

Sign me up, thanks Dom:s

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #8 on:** May 05, 2007, 11:41:03 pm »

@Miguel/Trevor: Done. Expect your first late tomorrow night.

@Matt: I'll defer the answer to Dominic, he wrote the course, I just the delivery mechanism. I've not added you to the reception list yet, just in case.

EHM-1465 Dominic · « **Reply #9 on:** May 06, 2007, 11:50:17 am »

Matt (& others),

The course is designed primarily to explain the real basics to a new pilot and then point them in the direction of more detailed info on the Web, so the e-mails don't cover radio navigation aids in themselves.

They were purely written to help newbies learn a basic level of skills so they can become part of our community quickly

(So the experienced pilots among you who've asked for them may find the content quite basic... )

However Matt, although Rod Machado may not be everyone's cup of tea, don't let him put you off using the FS Ground School and Learning Centre as the info you need is contained in there and it is pretty well explained.

If you really can't get what you want out of those sources a really good overall FS navigation guide is at:

http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/index.htm

and this goes into a lot of detail about all the radio navigation aids.

There's also a link in the e-mail course to the FAA's free Pilot Manuals which cover most aviation subjects at:

http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/

Hope that helps.

I'd be glad if you could add me too

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #11 on:** May 07, 2007, 04:11:30 pm »

@Tarik: Done.

EHM-2029 Sotiris · « **Reply #12 on:** May 08, 2007, 10:39:10 am »

Murray or any MT member,

can you add me to them as well?

Thanks!

EHM-1465 Dominic · « **Reply #13 on:** May 08, 2007, 04:39:29 pm »

Sotiris,

Murray is in charge of the script so I'm sure he'll add you on very shortly

EHM-1883 Matt · « **Reply #14 on:** May 08, 2007, 05:35:26 pm »

eh, I'll have one too! There's always some of the simplest things you forget!

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #15 on:** May 08, 2007, 10:13:06 pm »

@Sotiris/Matt: Done

EHM-1821 Javier · « **Reply #16 on:** May 09, 2007, 02:57:31 pm »

hmm...sign me up too, wanna check it out

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #17 on:** May 10, 2007, 06:13:57 pm »

@Jav: Done.

EHM-1671 Ben · « **Reply #18 on:** May 11, 2007, 01:25:34 am »

Hi guys! Just got back from a short vacation. Would you please sign me up Murray - would be really interested in what's included. Need to brush up my flying skills after the asbence

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2007, 07:41:03 am »

@Ben: Done.

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #20 on:** May 11, 2007, 02:20:38 pm »

Oh, and thanks to everyone that noticed the error in the sending script (not a one of you!

)

You should all find that the dates on the emails will now be somewhat sensible as opposed what they have been up to now.

EHM-2033 Miguel · « **Reply #21 on:** May 11, 2007, 04:25:22 pm »

Hi! Just read the last e-mail! They're great and a reminder of some basics you sometimes might forget and I believe they'll be really helpful for newbies.. I just found out one thing you might wanna change on the last e-mail. Shouldn't it be www.ivao.aero instead of www.ivao.org?
Anyways great tool to newbies and great reminder for those who already know how to work around a plane...
Thank you guys!

EHM-1883 Matt · « **Reply #22 on:** May 11, 2007, 04:38:16 pm »

hmm, now I see what you guys mean from "back to basics"!

I agree with Miguel completely!

EHM-0654 Murray · « **Reply #23 on:** May 11, 2007, 05:11:21 pm »

Good spot there Miguel, I'll fix that ASAP.

EDIT: All fixed. I'm just ashamed that none of us in the MT noticed during the "development" phase :$

Oh, and FYI, this is just "version 1.0"... I'm already hard at work on expanding this mechanism out for other "opt-in" mailshots.
