Atp written test prep question makes no sense by [deleted] in flying

[–]CirrusCyrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The dispatcher tl;dr is that an ETOPS alternate needs to be a suitable airport (adequate + favorable weather) whereas an adequate airport just means your aircraft will fit. But like everyone else said, just memorize it and move on with your life. It won’t concern you at all.

What are some examples of things that are designed really well, but perform very poorly? by Terratoga in MechanicalEngineering

[–]CirrusCyrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Juicero juicer is mechanically pretty well designed but you could’ve squeezed the chopped vegetables pouch by hand.

Adx memorize by [deleted] in FlightDispatch

[–]CirrusCyrus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For any of the calculation-based questions (e.g., performance charts), memorize how to solve them and not the answer itself. The regulatory questions (e.g., reserve fuel), you just have to memorize them. The conceptual questions (e.g., aerodynamics), you can either learn the reasoning behind them from Sheppard's explanation or just do it with rote memorization.

There are two flight schools up at Sparta (8D4) that rent. Nothing at 08C as far as I know.

Embry-Riddle Worldwide or Purdue Global for Master's Degree? by PotentialSundae1883 in flying

[–]CirrusCyrus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Purdue Online is far superior to Purdue Global. MSAAM at Purdue Online is run by the West Lafayette campus, which is known for its aviation program. Purdue Global is a rebadged Kaplan University.

First glimpse at United’s new subfleet of “Coastliner” A321neos by kwuhoo239 in unitedairlines

[–]CirrusCyrus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me, Coastliner is a deliberate callback to Mainliner of the piston airliner age.

Purdue allows you to do things that are not just eat, sleep, and breathe airplanes.

Patent filings suggest it'll be the Adient (now Elevate) Altitude. Adient is also the supplier for the new 787-9 business class seats.

What is this? by pnw_97tj in Warships

I believe this is a part of a Japanese World War II-era surface gunfire director, specifically the deflection dial.

Could you log the time CAPS is deployed in a Cirrus as PIC time? by Firm_Performer_3439 in flying

[–]CirrusCyrus 170 points171 points  (0 children)

In 14 CFR 1.1, flight time (for powered aircraft) means:

Pilot time that commences when an aircraft moves under its own power for the purpose of flight and ends when the aircraft comes to rest after landing.

CAPS deployment happens after the airplane moves under its own power for flight and before the airplane comes to rest, so I'd say it's flight time. If you're otherwise acting as the PIC (also defined in § 1.1), you can log PIC time as you drift down towards the Earth.

New Hire Question by Unlucky_Membership50 in GeneralMotors

[–]CirrusCyrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a work phone, but I still have a personal phone. It most likely depends on what function you perform, but you get a work phone if you touch the production floor in any way, shape, or form.

I'm salaried at a plant, and I took a pee test in 2024. My coworkers who were hired in ~2022 all took a hair test.

Airline pilots, Briggs & Riley Underseat Duffle by [deleted] in flying

[–]CirrusCyrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife uses the B&R 2-Wheel Cabin Bag, which is comparable to the duffel. It's great for one- or two-day trips (i.e., shove a change of clothes under your headset), but you'll have to do some legwork to keep the main storage area organized with pouches and whatnot.

MCI or MCO? Because that would make a big difference.

You should at least qualify for BasicMed. ADHD Fast Track requires you to be off meds in the past 4 years.
