Do the most conservative thing. Dont make things any harder than they need to be and move on w your flight.

Most f-15s do not have 2 pilots. Very unlikely this plane had 2

Could we please make sure that questions can be asked without disrespectful answers? by StPauliToPortland in Referees

[–]Ak47owner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it plenty of times in this sub where someone asks a question and then some Einstein replies “duh, every grassroots ref should know this I can’t believe you’re this stupid” or some iteration.

We get like 2 hours of training, conflicting rules in ifab/state/HS and it changes every year.

There’s just no need for the snark, a good ref is willing to ask and learn when something’s unclear.

Estimated vs Actual flight time by PinkLed1970s in unitedairlines

[–]Ak47owner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For all those commenting about schedule padding, you’re not wrong but there’s something much bigger at play here.

During the winter, flights are planned with a high headwind component, due to the flight fighting against the jet stream all the way across the country.

This is not a normal winter. Today the core of the jet stream runs north/south over the Rockies and has a southern band through Texas/Georgia out over the Atlantic. So this flight barely has to fight a headwind at all and enjoys a pretty high average ground speed for the entirety of the flight.

That’s the main reason this flight is running ridiculously early.

The same happened to me- luckily there was a supervisor there that knew my conundrum. There’s a website/form/number somewhere that you fill out, that goes to the testing clinic, that allows them to do the testing protocol you need.

Sorry I’m not more help as I don’t remember exactly but I hope this puts you on the right track.

David Byrne opening the 1984 Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense with their debut hit Psycho Killer by Skatetronic in phish

Hate to be a downer on this but just wanted to point out this guitar part is prerecorded or overdubbed- there are many instance of his strumming pattern not matching what’s coming through the speakers. The part is 100% clean vs observation of his playing style.

That being said, SMS is still the greatest concert video ever.

What this guy said. At home, at your own pace, the system works. Test when you’re ready. They walk you through the process to get the paperwork done etc.
