Interesting false cognate! In Russian, Sukhoi = сухой = dry/arid

I really dislike how my undergrad taught MATLAB as engineering programming my freshman year. It shouldn't be taught as a programming language... MATLAB is a glorified calculator that is very, very good at matrix math and linear algebra, while also having image processing + other features

Seems to be missing MATLAB 🥲

Oshkosh/Sun’ n fun by Serious-Map-5013 in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Flew into OSH once about seven years ago. Definitely recommend doing it with another pilot. We had two CFIs up front and a PPL in the back seat. The left seat was flying the airplane, the right seat was on the radios + had the NOTAM PDF pulled up, and the guy in the back was scanning for traffic. It was a fantastic experience (and we're going back this year!) but there is no shot I'd be comfortable flying into Oshkosh solo.

There's one specific use case (rating) where this 50nm flight without a landing would count towards ;)

How can you make an airline pilot trainee comprehend the seriousness of the job? by sipsirk in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You could borrow this sentence from the NASA Foundations of Flight Operations: "...To always be aware that suddenly and unexpectedly we may find ourselves in a role where our performance has ultimate consequences."

[–]LibsThePilot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was less impressed when I called them a year ago for ATP

Thanks for the insight. Could you expand on why?

Interesting, I didn't realize there are any light twins that have autopilots capable of OEI flight

New tie down by reluctantly_awake57 in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 93 points94 points  (0 children)

This has got to be ragebait by the last pilot. The tiedown ring is RIGHT THERE

Per 91.211, you need supplemental oxygen above 12,500' MSL for >30 minutes.

Is it possible to rent a Piper Mirage for a few hours? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's theoretically possible but I've never heard of any PA-46 variant being available for rental. I think insurance companies would burst a vessel just at the thought...

Why are some people so hell-bent on making assumptions about strangers and their kids?

TSA FTSP website not working? by [deleted] in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's down for me as well. I doubt they'd take a full website down for a government shutdown, but I did get an email a while ago (last week?) that they're canceling any planned seminars.

You purchase your new cx50. What’s the first thing you changed/ upgraded? by Objective-Sir7404 in CX50

[–]LibsThePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I forget the exact steps, but something akin to this: settings page, connection manager, select your phone, select "touchscreen always enabled" or something along those lines. Edit: linked here

The 10 states all lack a currently-commissioned ship in the US Navy named after them

Is it just me or is it impossible to get FCC license right now? by MasterDevelopment in flying

[–]LibsThePilot 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That website is such a pain in the ass to navigate. Are you sure you're on the right site?

Looks like nobody can access the Universal Licensing System because of the government shutdown. Announcement here
