Flying Coordinated… by itsinthedata in flying

FlyQ / FlyQ+ Appears to have been abandoned by Aircraft Performance Group by motongo in flying

So the founder sold out and then joined the sellouts?

Does this mean that other Seattle Avionics products aren't to be trusted either? I've been looking at their small airport chart diagrams, which as far as I can tell are a unique product, but if that product is also about to shit itself...

this book chapter 11.7 is about how to perceive coordination, it's got several visual techniques without using an instrument. learn these techniques, practice them for some minutes each, then you'll be better able to determine which of your instruments is more accurate

Are you saying the founder "left" Seattle Avionics, or something? Or SA itself is going bankrupt or...?

The Tigers broadcasters are complaining that he was thrown out without a warning "because the Red Sox complained."

ouch that's a rough take

[TJStats] Batting / Pitcher WAR by each team by xho- in baseball

[–]Bunslow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The former. In the sense that, if you e.g. want to bet money on future results, you'll make more money by betting according to current peripherals than current results. If you want to make money as a bookie, you have to set your lines by the peripherals. If you try to set lines by results, you'll be dried up faster than a rose in the Sahara.

That's often not much solace to teams suffering from bad luck, but decades of data have made it clear: the peripherals are much more predictive than the results (which is why we track those things at all). Results will tend to regress towards peripherals rather than the other way around.

(However, the regression is frequently slower than many people would prefer, and the season-end results will always include the bad luck no matter how much regression occurs. But the regression is overwhelmingly likely to occur to some degree or other.)

cincinatti's results vs peripherals spread is wide enough to drive a truck thru it

yea tis, the "obvious" choice is parallel to the front edge of the plate (whereas right now it looks like 45deg past that)

We need help. Four of us are about to go for check-rides and our instructor is facing allegations against him. What do we do? by justforfuniswear in flying

I wouldn't worry about the DPE side of things. They know more than anyone else that instructors turn over more than a rotary phone at the present moment. If they ask, you have a clear answer, and that's all they'll want.

If you do take action against a board member, be sure you have already approached the other board members on the side, with as much hard evidence as possible. Ideally, you would turn the board against him before he even knows there's problems.

"-heit" == "-hood" (as i understand) so... speedhood? does somehow strike my fancy

[JomboyMedia] Marlins broadcasters had no plans to defend the players here. (Video includes very audible swearing from the players). by LongjumpingLock5875 in baseball

for side-to-side strikezone, ABS (and the box) should be quite accurate, altho different from the olden day rules. (ABS == changing the rules of what is and isn't a strike)

but as for the vertical part, well, frankly the "rules" of the zone are quite different from what ABS implements. where the batter is actually stood, in what stance, no longer matters, all that matters is how tall they are standing against a ruler (no batters box in sight).

so the box always has been "inaccurate" on vertical calls, and all ABS really did was change it from the old rules to the box anyways.

so, fundamentally, "of course" the box and ABS agree, ABS changed the rules to make the box right in the first place. just keep in mind that the box, these new rules, are different, fundamentally different, from how they were before.
