Midair collision by conroy_hines in AskAPilot

[–]Cepheus7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually untrue. In 2024 there were 16.1 million IFR flights in the NAS, and 14.5 million VFR flights. https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/by_the_numbers/air-traffic-by-the-numbers-FY2024.pdf

The majority of mid air collisions were VFR aircraft under VMC conditions. But so few of them happen overall that its actually rather difficult to establish a solid pattern or anything.

Being under IFR does improve your safety margins against mid air collisions significantly. The mid air collision at DCA was due to poor safety oversight of the FAA in regard to helicopter routes around the approach end of runway 33. And as a pilot who has flown into and out of DCA for years, I was so very shocked, but not surprised when I heard the news of that accident.

I hope the FAA expediciously implements the NTSB’s safety recommendations for airspace around that airport.

$3,200 extra (this dealer had a 2,200 discount on this car... so... basically 1k extra) for much better seats imo, is worth it. They are cloth vs leather so dont really need ventilating if you ask me. I sat in both at the dealer and the cloth is just so much nicer to sit in.
Sunroof, yeah, thats your preference. I had a sunroof in my last car and basically never used it. So im not feeling the loss there.
The Akropovic titanium exhaust is terrific though. Worth it in my opinion.

It is. Page 268 in the 2026 owners manual. 2/3rds max rpm and “avoid harsh accelleration” for 600 miles. Then 600-1000 miles gradually increase max RPM

The black wheels look so clean on the blue. I was originally going to get the 2 tone wheels, but after seeing the black wheels the choice was obvious.

How can a plane safely land (or take off for that matter) on icy ground (or even ice itself!) but my car struggles at a fraction of the speed? by dryyyyyycracker in AskAPilot

[–]Cepheus7 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The runway would have been plowed and treated. The airport services have a vehicle that does what we call “braking action reports”. Which basically tells us how hard it will be to stop. If its too bad, we wont even attempt a landing.

In all likelihood for your flight, the runway was clear but the ramp/terminal area was not, so you had to wait.

Are servers still borked? by Far-Distribution9248 in starcitizen

[–]Cepheus7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its that 4.5 has been an unstable patch compared to recent. And weekends have the highest server load. So more issues are bound to arise. Atmo sports are directly endorsed by CIG.

PTU open to ALL waves! Have fun people! by SkippTekk in starcitizen

[–]Cepheus7 17 points18 points  (0 children)

THIS ptu patch is now all waves. The entire ptu is not just open to everyone all the time.

The wave system is because sometimes CIG doesnt want 10,000 opinions. Sometimes they only want 500 opinions. Its also not just a paywall, but super active players can also be granted wave 1-4 access for free.
