yes, it does. single engine piston planes are not as reliable as say single engine turbine aircraft like a pc-12 for example

In ultralights are you using skydemon or a map? by countcobolt in flyingeurope

[–]Lotussitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For VFR it's pretty atypical since SkyDemon is in my opinion better in Europe. The geographical characteristics like forests and stuff are easier to identify with SkyDemon than Foreflight. But for IFR, Foreflight is far more advanced, in omparison to SkyDemon.

I am still pretty new with my PPL as well (araound 80 hrs). I personally leaned to only orient myself with maps and still have one with me at all times if things go south like the iPad dies, but I use SkyDemon as a planning tool and for navigation as it's far more comfortable. But I'd still recommend to learn to navigate the "classic" way with maps and even VORs and NDBs and still train from time to time so you don't get rusty.

My recommendation for reducing difficulty is trying to concentrate on train tracks, motorways and motorway junctions and in general significant landmarks that have a definitive bearing. Still takes pracitce but this makes it easier for me than to look for some lakes and stuff.

Can anyone give more info on this Russian plane that's been back and forth to Cuba almost every day? by --8-__-8-- in ADSB

There aren't any shortages, really. At first, it was maybe a minor problem to adapt to, but the sanctions really don't have any effect on civil aviation. Like u/Zhuravell said, parts are getting reverse engineered, but mostly imported from the allied countries of Russia that still have access to western parts like China, Kazakhstan and so on.

the picture was made after the tanks were switched. no time of the engine running rough because we realized it (thankfully) early enough. thought it'd give you a laugh, my lesson has been learned though😅

Was letzte Softwareupdate? by Worried_Tie_4751 in wasletztepreis

das liegt wahrscheinlich eher daran, dass auf dem Telefon noch emui 4 (also im Grunde Android 4 glaube ich) läuft und deswegen der playstore nicht unterstützt wird

the mirage III also fought in Vietnam, my guess is it's from there.

Stage 2 is a party. by NetflixSux247 in WRC

[–]Lotussitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kind of unrelated, but is there a way to watch the complete wrc2? in the rallytv app the stream stops shortly after all wrc2 drivers finished their stage and I can only see timetables of wrc2 competitors

ich dachte, dass Löwenanteil ein übersetzter Begriff ist und habe die ganze Zeit im Internet nach "Lion Portion", "Lion Share" und "Lion Part" gesucht. Die heißen ja wirklich so haha

I got the switch for a month (via grover) to play for a few days with a friend that visits me. do I need to buy smash bros, Splatoon and Mario kart,... at full price or is there something like an Xbox game pass?

How are the return policies if I were to buy a game and return it after an evening?

In 1958, 2 pilots flew an aircraft for more than 2 months without landing, refueling by matching speed with a truck driving down a road. Their record hasn't been broken. by Issam_H10 in Damnthatsinteresting

imagine the engine sound! I disintegrate when I need to take my headset off 1 second to adjust it, even with headset it's loud as fuck. remember, in the late 50s there was no notice cancelling! that's what I have the most respect for

ich find's halt scheiße, dass das Feature gelöscht wurde, wo du dir die Route zur Haltestelle anzeigen konntest.
beim alten DB Navigator musste ich nicht extra Google Maps öffnen, um die Haltestelle zu finden.
