Ya absolutely, I never want a fuel exhaustion event. Always put more in than necessary

I had not heard that, thank you for sharing. I just go by IFR standards or better for my personal limits, so this never came up.

I’ve never seen a rule requiring any specific fuel reserve except for when filing IFR where you need enough fuel to get to your destination, and alternate, and still have 45 minutes of fuel.

That sounds like you’re still doing a lot of work. Is that net new work you wouldn’t have done before (like would you have needed to write those docs before as well)? Writing code never feels like the complicated or time expensive part to me. Figuring out what I want to do is, and I need to do that with either approach, and then thinking through how I’d like to organize things is another time sink, and perhaps that can be replaced/augmented by ai, but organizing things well requires long term thinking and is very hard to explain

Does anyone else feel like we’re seeing more military activity and that that activity is taking less precautions with regards to safely operating around civilian traffic?

They’re still contracted by the FAA and I believe have to follow the same standards. I don’t think that they’re a private company is the big issue here.

Ya it was military equipment that was not secured appropriately.

They’re both considered sodomy

Ha, cool, congrats!!

Does he live there year round? How did you meet? His parents didn’t have an issue with you staying even though you’re unwed?

Good to know

I don’t believe the APU would be usable in flight, but they should have a RAT. Also don’t black boxes have their own batteries?

RO can’t do it?

Every plane is different and you can certainly get stuck with the gear up or unable to support the weight.

I’m not an expert, I only fly small piston planes, but watching the video the cowling has opened as they do when the thrust reversers have been applied, however the engines are dragging on the ground so I’d assume that forced them open. I’m not sure if opening the exterior would engage the thrust reverser (i.e. is the external mechanism tied to the internal mechanism so they move together, or do they move independently?), if not then we can’t conclude much from the video.

You also generally don’t raise the gear until you have positive rate of climb, I only fly small planes, but the principal should be the same.

This plane looks like it’s going way too fast and not in landing configuration. Maybe they couldn’t get the plane into landing configuration due to some failure, that would require them to keep their speed up (flaps/slats reduce the landing speed), but even then it looked like they weren’t slowing down, so maybe they were still under power?

I need help with this data too for similar reasons.

What country? Asking for a friend…
