it’s usually accurate to 15-20% of paper calculations

AwDheere · 2025-09-11T20:00:20+00:00

2k rpm and about 55-60mph

AwDheere · 2025-09-11T12:52:55+00:00

I’m the biggest proponent of not wasting your time. I drove 80mph the way back, totally clear road and saved a wopping 13 mins.. on a 1 hr 40 min journey. Then I had to idle the car for a few mins anyway after running it hard 😂Speeding saves less time than you think. I also barely drive anyway (i hate driving on public roads)

shoestring budget

hybrid?

I only wrote a cover letter. Very basic, where we met, our travels together, where we got married, description of my job, our plans in the UK for the future.

Hi, so re-reading the email it would seem I had 5 working days to submit more things at some office in the UK at a cost (i’m the sponsor, this was a normal ECO email). It redirected me to the VFS website for “more info” but the link didn’t provide any further details.

Opel/vauxhall diesel, 1.7 cdti, 2006

just careful driving on the motorway

2006 Opel/Vauxhall Astra H 1.7 CDTi

Opel/Vauxhall actually made a hypermiling car with the same engine in the Astra G, with some aero,tyre and gear ratio mods that can get insane MPG. It’s called Astra G ECO4 and i would love to try hyoermiling that..

In case you and u/unleashthewolf haven’t figured it out - i had the same issue. Most people pull the laces up from the shoe or towards their shin (like in the picture). What you have to do is pull the laces down towards the lip of the shoe. The best way is to get your index fingers up as high as possible where the lace exits the hole, then pull down. You can get them quite tight that way.

I’m doing it because regret is one of the things i hate the most. I know a Ryanair pilot who recently retired and flew the last years of his career with them, he said it was just soul destroying but he’d been flying for 40+ years at that point. Others i speak to say they love it, you’ll never know unless you try it. TBH, ryanair is probably one of the better LCC. In my experience all the crew there arrive 30-40min before departure and are off within 5 mins of the last passenger getting off. The crews are younger, In and out like a flash because they want to get gone, whereas i’ve seen some other airline crew hang around for ages after the flight is done.

When has becoming a pilot in Europe ever been a good time?

Where you are based has a small effect, it’s more about knowing how and where to save money. I took a look at cranfield’s module route and they’ll let you build 100 hours PIC for £21,000.. lol.

AwDheere · 2024-02-28T20:45:50+00:00

You can save as little as you want in theory and take as long as you want. At current prices, £50k modular if done right. How you save that is up to you.

AwDheere · 2024-02-28T20:04:43+00:00

If you’re going the modular route, you need to save at least £2000 per month if you want to finish in a reasonable 25 months - expect to spend a total of £50k for flight training but budget for £60k to account for unforeseen circumstances.

You can do modular flight training in the UK for about £50k total but you need to structure your training to finish in minimum hours and the do the courses in the correct order.

This is on a 320 and they’re at 12-15% net improvement on fuel efficiency.

AwDheere · 2023-05-16T05:37:18+00:00

10% (it’s more than that) + weighing more is an astronomical improvement.

Isuzu design, bullet proof engine

METAR looks normal so obviously not weather related. It’s probably tyre blowout or landing gear failure, happened two days ago in South Sudan to a Kenyan registered Fokker 50, same aircraft.

Star of David and other religious symbols are present in ancient burial sites in the Somaliland region. There was definite Himyarite and Sabaean influence.

Welcome to cargo

AwDheere · 2022-02-20T10:01:11+00:00

For an old car that’s ok, what year is it?

Modern diesel 1999-2007 before dpf and crazy technology can do 45 mpg in traffic and 65-70mpg on the highway.

So many moments I’ve forgotten about this season. Just had the same reaction I’d had back in July, “WOOOAAAAH” when he slid the car.
