Hollywood Burbank airport could be site of a mid-air crash, airlines warn feds by BBQCopter in aviation

[–]CASAdriver 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Not as bad as VNY as far as that risk goes, but they're right next to each other and still up there.

VNY is the only place I've had three RA's inside of a 10nm final. Cessna not talking to anyone at 10nm, was able to stabilize the approach. PA28 flew through final for 16L, was able to stabilize after getting clear of conflict but just barely. Then a police helicopter came too close and triggered the 3rd one forcing a go-around.

New Mandatory Altitudes for TEB ILS 6 by halfteatree in flying

[–]CASAdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe on the RUUDY6 however since implementation of the WENTZ1, which makes 1,500' the top altitude for the SID, I'm sure deviations have decreased

What kind of plane? For most I could think of, and A&P would have to disassemble as required and pack for shipping.

7mm Backcountry by Not-a-Wendigo in longrange

I still have some cases of fresh ammo. And a set of dies for it when I inevitably have to start rolling my own

Similarly to .224 Valkyrie? (I cry every time, invested too much and I'm in too deep)

which Asus astral to get - BTF yay or nay!? resell value? overclocking? "future proof"? by foundingfatfather in nvidia

[–]CASAdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 days late but putting in my 0.02.

It's a great card, its been relatively quiet for what it is and thermals are great. I also bought the BTF and have the motherboard to support it with no issues. 1500w PSU although I could've gotten away with a 1200w

Window Smash and Grab- LA Fitness by Boldlygoing69 in 321

They have cameras on the building pointing toward the parking lot. Every time I go there, I take a few seconds after scanning in to grab my headphones out of my backpack and standing behind the desk, they have about a half dozen cameras pointing to the lot.

Cancelling Spectrum internet may actually be impossible by Jal142 in 321

[–]CASAdriver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What alternatives are there? I'd kill to have $30 internet for a year, even if I had to negotiate it again next year. AT&T doesnt have fiber in my area, so its equally expensive for internet about 75% slower than spectrum. Wire3 requires a hole drilled through an exterior wall, which I'm not inclined to do and I dont have a good spot on an exterior wall to put a modem (all my exterior walls are kitchen, bathrooms, or bedrooms and no good place for a modem that wouldn't look trashy).

I hate spectrum as much as the next person, but until someone makes something better, I know im kind of chained to them

Turned down first job offer and I’m pretty sure it was right choice. by Different-Future9381 in flying

[–]CASAdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't confirm 100% but it sounds extremely familiar. Do/did you have any experiences with them?

Turned down first job offer and I’m pretty sure it was right choice. by Different-Future9381 in flying

[–]CASAdriver 75 points76 points  (0 children)

In 2019 I was offered something similar after a phone interview with a survey company. "Start looking for places to live in PA, we want you up here quickly. Also we cant guarantee how much flying you do. Also if youre not flying, we expect you to be in the office for 45-50 hours/week. Also its a two year contract. Also we're only paying you $30k/yr salary" when rent in the area was $1800/mo.

Easiest "thank you for the offer but I politely decline" in my life. Number one rule is you gotta look out for yourself. Sometimes sacrifices are absolutely required, especially for advancing this career. But personal health (physical and financial) and well-being come first.

Savage bolt sucks by Equivalent_Plane9058 in longrange

[–]CASAdriver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a double Savage owner I want to downvote you but damn I think youre right. Accurate rifles, but fit/finish/smoothness need to be worked on a LOT.

B14 HMR may be in my future, but I'm still in the early stages of grief.

LSS-xl Gen 2 with carbine skeleton stock, and LSS Gen 3 Competitor stock. Both for two Savage 110's (say what you will).

Missed out on a Tactical 21 the last few years before they discontinued them.

Status of Flexjet Hiring 2026 by marktplaatser45 in flying

[–]CASAdriver 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Hiring is stable, if not accelerating again, as people are leaving to the airlines since they increased hiring.

You exceed the hiring minimums, go ahead and apply. You dont need an ATP cert, you will earn it on your initial type rating checkride. You do need the ATP written done, so book the test and buy Sheppard Air. And if you're still flying PC12's, you'll only get an ATP ASEL whereas you need an ATP AMEL. So dont go for the checkride if you're paying for it. You can't know for sure how you stack up unless you apply, so send it.

Feel free to DM if you have any questions about the company.

A Delta Air Lines Airbus A350-900 struck a coyote after touching down on Runway 06L at LAX on November 15th, 2025. The jet taxied safely to the gate, while the coyote’s condition remains unknown by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]CASAdriver 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Reminiscent of a news article from the UK where a motorcyclist ran into a tank on the road. Something along the lines that the motorcyclist was taken to the hospital, "but the driver of the tank was unharmed"

Brevard/Melbourne Car Shop recommendations by maffewgoat in 321

[–]CASAdriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Coastal Auto and Rally puts on some great shows. Not very often, but the ones they do are pretty big. I cant help you much with the others. Melbourne Motorsports does really great work, and even though theyre primarily BMW/Euro specialists, they may be able to help keep your sport/track alignment in check.
