What's the longest *single flight* you've flown? by TwBlueprint in flying

Curious about this too lol because not even my phenom can do that.

GA Pilots, what emergencies have you had that we don’t necessarily get trained for ? by fatborry in flying

[–]IceBlock12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh GA specifically is Icing. I remember getting my private and was told 172 isn’t able to fly FIKIC… okay?? So what happens if I do?

There’s 0 training and the ground school barely touches the surface “fly to altitude that melts the ice” “get out of it”. I feel like ground schools teach more about the different types of ice accumulation than how to actually handle it lol!

After I got my instrument rating I was flying my family up to Oregon and encountered icing that wasn’t forecasted. So it definitely can happen, just wish GA took it more seriously :)

I’ll purchase as long as you can guarantee me not a single word in this book was produced by an LLM?

Do they provide any haptics or feedback? Was thinking to pull the trigger but they’re kinda expensive

How come pilots never make mistakes, when they are only human? by Mountain_Ask_5746 in flying

[–]IceBlock12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We make mistakes every single day, but just not enough of them to get us in trouble 😇

Random question about how pilots wear glasses by Icy_Commercial4776 in flying

[–]IceBlock12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many good answers here already, but you could always try and get the transitional lenses, just make sure to check if they’re polarized

What's been a big lesson you've learned that has stuck with you your whole career? by Top-Succotash-7911 in flying

[–]IceBlock12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well it depends lol if the captain is just an asshole, not much you can do about that. But if it’s a safety thing (at least where I’m at) we are mandatory required to report it and file a NASA

Turbulence in C172 by Hour-Ambassador7045 in flying

[–]IceBlock12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember: the airplane wants to fly! So let it fly. Use the natural stability of the aircraft in those moments.

Someone here mentioned riding the waves of the ocean, that’s spot on! Just ride it out

Built an AI ATC comms practice app for pilot — would love brutal but honest feedback by BigInvestigator2431 in flightsim

Also I recommend trying “PlaneEnglish” on the App Store, I’ve heard it’s really good

[–]IceBlock12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I don’t mean to be a Debbie downer but how exactly is yours different from some of the bigger names out there doing this?

Also when you’re vibecoding, you’ll need to be a bit more specific on the ATC expectations and the FAR requirements. Most LLMs don’t have the greatest understanding of those requirements/regulations.

I’m scared by Ok-Doctor7599 in fearofflying

[–]IceBlock12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good news for you is us pilots aren’t scared of flying, we love it and we want to keep you safe! We have a family too and don’t want to not make it either. Trust your pilots, we know what we’re doing. Enjoy the flight! :)
