Thank you for your reply, it feels great to be getting back into it! I did all the checklists, the insident happend when Michel asked me to request IFR clearence. As I believe the documentation stated, I said, request IFR clearence. She said, Please wait, but nothing happend. She then asked me to request IFR clearence again. Is there something I neglected to activate? Also, Would it be possible to see a cockpit transcript of your flight into San Jose? In fact, I was attempting a flight from SJC to LAX using the same aircraft!
