Sagebrush posted:Given that it's Canada, they undoubtedly started with "half an inch" (either because that's what the SFU study used, or because it was just convenient) and then went "oh poo poo, we have to make this metric" and rounded it to 12.5mm because 12.7 would be even more suspicious. A lot of people I know in the BC interior just use Fahrenheit. Also I think 4L jugs are just gallon jugs filled a little higher.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLmzy8ZPgtc I don't know if these safety videos might help deter people, but this guy just kept going toward bad weather despite reports, saying he'd "slide his way out" or "pick his way out" if it got too bad. The amount of denial is incredible. RIP and all, but yeah. Edit: tldw he crashed after flying 100 feet above the freeway in heavy snow IIRC, not gonna watch the whole video now.

Sagebrush posted:There's a barnswallow nest right above the door to the flight school and for the last several weeks it's had five baby beaks pointing out and cheeping every time you walk by, and today the babies were all out sitting on the rails learning to fly. They usually come back year after year, if you don't block it off after getting tired of the bird poop.

The Ferret King posted:Good opportunity to review communicating aircraft equipment issues with ATC. I knew what the situation was from the description and the captions, and I still heard "returning to land" when he said "runaway trim." I was wondering if they should have stopped everything given how uncertain it was they were in control of the plane? That's obviously a huge call at Atlanta.

It would be smart for airlines to offer vouchers for cancelled travel. I know I will travel again, just don't know when. Brussels airlines did this for me; Czech Airlines tried to get me to reschedule and then charge me more because it's more expensive at that time of year  . I don't even know when to reschedule to because who loving knows? United gave me a refund although I would have taken a voucher cause again, gotta travel.

Some expenses you can deduct from your taxes if it's for a charity? At least that's how it works transporting animals. Otherwise no money as always. I'll try and find the website when I get home. But that's getting really far from the OP's question.

If your mask has a valve (a lot of n95s), the passenger airlines ban them, or at least require you to wear a surgical mask over the valves.

Kraftwerk posted:I'm assuming with the careful planning and memorization you do for your flight most of what you discuss with ATC will make sense against the documentation and whatever is in your FMC that even if you don't hear it correctly, the text fills in the blanks and it's easier to understand. Not a pilot but from watching AOPA videos, never make assumptions and always ask for a read back.

Sagebrush posted:Ah, a readback is when you repeat what you just received to confirm that you heard it correctly. For instance, if the tower tells you "hold short of runway 30" and you say "roger" (don't) they'll come back with "I need a readback on the hold short instruction," because you need to actually repeat your callsign/tail number and the phrase "holding short" over the radio to verify that you understood. You should be doing the readback always though right...at least hypothetically! I noticed in the Vasaviation video the other day the controller didn't enforce it for takeoff clearance from the pilot and they were having trouble understanding things, it seemed like (stroke? Or something similar). Blargh

KodiakRS posted:A lot of data does get uploaded in more or less real time. As for the rest, collecting, processing, transmitting, recieving, and storing that data would be a royal pain. Every step of the process would need to be engineered, certified, installed, and maintained. Which is a lot of effort, time and money to spend on supplementing something with a <1 in 100,000,000 chance of being destroyed on any given flight. Atlas Air 3591 was around 430 knots too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsSNr5DR840

Unless you want your schedule to not suck and actually have all of Crew, Plane, and Gate availability. In which case it's three directed weighted graphs that are linked with weighted nodes that all have to be optimized in an inter-related way.
