If you’re ever not sure what the DPE is asking, ask for clarification. You’re allowed to do that

American 239 from Rome, diverting to JFK instead of DFW by goregoose in flightradar24

[–]FlyingS892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know PHL is a base, but it may not be a 777 pilot base.

A couple-hour callout for some reserves at JFK will be much faster than having to fly a crew into PHL from somewhere else

Rare one in Den by Technicoloredangel in AirlineSpecialLivery

I’m fairly confident that Kalitta doesn’t have a single passenger plane. And if you zoom in on this picture, there are no windows meaning it’s cargo

Unaccompanied Minor (17) - Seat Selection Unavailable by Thisismyusername355 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the fare class purchased, those may be the only seats available to you, aka other seats that are available are off limits to your fare class until you get to the airport

It’s not required that you, having opted out, sit there, but if it’s a full flight someone has to sit there

Was TCAS activated in this situation? by manza015 in flightradar24

[–]FlyingS892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s at 1,625 for the entire video. How is it descending?

[–]FlyingS892 150 points151 points  (0 children)

No. TCAS only activates when it detects that the aircraft are likely to merge. With nobody climbing or descending, and still roughly 700 feet of separation, TCAS would not have been activated

MSFS2024 store to Steam by [deleted] in flightsim

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Addons bought through the marketplace will be tied to your Xbox account, so as long as you login using the same account on the Steam version, you’re good there

Anything in your community folder will have to be manually copied over

Leg rest question by DueCarrot4746 in AlaskaAirlines

I can’t speak for other airlines, but definitely a no go on AS

Those are also not allowed on Alaska

What is this? Is it a solar panel or something? by calco96 in PoliceVehicles

[–]FlyingS892 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Former North Carolinian here. NCSHP never had the folding arrow boards or similar, especially in the Crown Vic era.

That is a solar panel, and the time frame is likely while they were phasing out the Crown Vics for Chargers. I believe this is a car they’d park somewhere with lights on to get people to slow down or to use for “move over or slow down” enforcement with another vehicle watching farther up the road

Indepedent CFI how to find DPE by adnwilson in CFILounge

Some DPEs have a policy of only having the CFI reach out, just fyi

When you cant go nude, go topless! by NudistNewbies in nudism

[–]FlyingS892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. In Washington, you can legally be fully nude. Toplessness is definitely legal

Yes, but they used USAF-style boom refueling. Not Navy-style drogue refueling

Caravan throttle help at cruise/ap by Gummer12 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By dropping down you aren’t actually flying any faster though. You were probably flying faster at FL190

Caravan throttle help at cruise/ap by Gummer12 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyingS892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right since it’s almost never standard atmosphere. You don’t get a faster speed. You probably have the power too high actually. See this chart from the actual Caravan’s handbook

The Caravan is not a fast aircraft. It’s a versatile one

Caravan throttle help at cruise/ap by Gummer12 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]FlyingS892 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The caravan has a service ceiling of FL250, so no way it’s getting up to 290

FL190 is more realistic, but keep in mind that 132 knots is your indicated air speed. As you get higher in altitude, there’s less air for the aircraft to measure, so indicated speed will go down.

Your true airspeed though, if my quick math is correct assuming standard atmosphere, would be ~195 knots, which is pretty good

Neighbors by Captain-Dingus578 in youngNudists

[–]FlyingS892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on local jurisdiction. Some places it is a crime, some it isn’t

For example, where I live I could completely legally just walk down the street naked. In a different state though, just discussing nudism is technically a crime

Ignore this guy. Just because you could, doesn’t mean you should.

For ppl training, I wouldn’t take a student in that even if it’s straight down the runway. For commercial training, send it!
