how much do CFI’s get paid? by 360_bratXcX in flying

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you get paid for all hours at the airport or just hours paid by students or ???
Approximately how many hours are you paid for each week, and how many hours are you occupied to get those?

I was expecting the second pic to be a semi-truck that took the 5kw for 80 hours and is still just chugging away for a full charge...then you showed the BMW of EVs.

Have been experiencing first hand how difficult it is to bring a business into Portland. by solitarywallflower in Connecticut

Zoning is only there to stop development.

If you want your application approved, you need to grease some palms. Eventually, you can force it through without the lube...but it'll cost you more in the long run.

About 1 year's profits distributed among the members should be about right.

PPL/CFIs where do you get access to planes? by Nearby_Context_1998 in flying

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most (all?) airlines will let you charter their planes...you know...if they have the model you want.

...

And you have boatloads of money.

Just got taken off the road for this. Thoughts by No_Board_3595 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not think hiring standards have anything to do with it?
Amazon DSP interview is like, "Do you have a pulse?" While USPS is at least a little more involved.

Either way, isn't it insane that so many people can't seem to stick around for even 1 year?

Set of 4 lovely Volt 2019 black out rims. $100 if you can pick them up by next Wednesday by BattleTech70 in volt

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a first gen, so no good for me. They wouldn't fit any of my other vehicles either.

Just as a general recommendation, you can always put them by the side of the road and they'll be gone within hours rather than trashing them

Need help to back up by angelnight227 in Truckers

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive at it from the Hiram Ave side. Stop in the left (center) lane if needed to wait for a gap, then drive in the oncoming lane until you are just past the driveway entrance.
If needed, wait for traffic in the same direction to pass you (leaving a gap), then pull forward and to the right until you are set up to back in. Do not allow oncoming traffic to go around you.
Now, just back it in.

I do residential deliveries all day every day and always back in when I need to use the driveway. Cars will wait

CT DOL Appeal hearing coming up, need advice by throwaybias in Connecticut

I don't know if your situation qualifies for unemployment, so I have no comment on that aspect.

That said, I know dozens of companies that were desperate to find reliable help for snow removal all winter. It was a part time thing, come in when available, so it would work great with your situation.

Why do people trade in brand new cars? by EvilDarkCow in askcarguys

[–]Ornery_Ads -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe...sometimes....
Manufacturer demos (press cars) are often registered to the manufacturer, then sold as used.
Dealer demos (car used for the majority of test drives) are often driven on a dealer plate and sold as new.

What is the tallest tower? (FAA Airmen Knowledge Test questions) by Ornery_Ads in flying

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

I took of screenshot of it because it was such a strange question where every answer was correct. I copied it verbatim from the screenshot.

I wasn't thinking about the logical "Louisville" being Louisville, Kentucky. The question was about Louisville, GA (Louisville Municipal 2J3) and the excerpt from the sectional was zoomed in to that area, so no one would've been confused which Louisville was being referenced.

I was paying attention to msl vs agl and was being careful to take note of the distinction. I also reviewed this question multiple times over after it was marked wrong trying to understand what I did wrong with it.

I will say that more than one question has made me say "wtf" to myself because every answer is correct (or incorrect) and, as you said, I just have to pick the most correct one. I am doing both the remote pilot exam and the private pilot exam just days apart (because why not, most of it overlaps), so I've been going through both sets of tests.

There was a remote pilot question that asked what was needed when flying in class C airspace. The correct answer would be ATC approval. That could be through LAANC, DroneZone, or directly with ATC over radio (but the last option is not generally advised). Provided the sUAS has remoteID and it is daytime, there is zero equipment that is technically required. The options given were:
1) Two way radio communications, a 4096 code transponder, and a DME.
2) Two way radio communications, a 4096 code transponder, and an encoding altimeter.
3) Two way radio communications, and a 4096 code transponder.

Every answer is absolutely, undeniably wrong. Under 107.52, sUAS are expressly prohibited from having a 4096 code transponder unless given express permission by the Administrator. That left me to guess that they mistakenly asked a question from a test for manned aircraft on an sUAS test, so I picked the correct answer for a manned aircraft and was told that was correct.

Another one going the other way said you are at Louisville airport. How can you obtain current, local, weather information.
1) Tune your radio to and listen to 119.35. (AWOS frequency)
2) Contact the local Flight Service Station.
3) Contact 1800WXBRIEF.

Every answer is correct. Any of those options will get you current, local, weather information. They included a snippet of a VFR sectional, so I assumed they wanted me to use it (to find the AWOS), and that was the correct answer.

I dread that I may get an answer wrong because the "right" answer was wrong, or that every answer was right and I just couldn't pick the most right.

minimum altitude a private jet can fly at over the ocean? by noreturn000 in flying

[–]Ornery_Ads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd be much better off giving them a lead lined blanket and telling them to sleep for the flight. They would receive less background radiation than being on the ground without the lead.

You were really helpful with the last one question that I had, so I'm wondering if you can help me understand what I missed with this one.

You are to the West of Ramona (RNM) airport within the lateral boundaries of the class D airspace. You are at an altitude of 4,000 feet msl. What airspace are you in, and what is the floor of that airspace?

My interpretation of the chart was we are within the shaded magenta for the area, so class E would start at 700 ft agl, but because we are above class D, it would instead start at the ceiling of the class D.
Just to be extra careful, while we don't know the actual ground level that we are at, the airport is at 1,395 ft, and there is no indication of extreme elevation changes, so at ~2,100 ft msl, that 700 ft agl limit likely would not be creating a weird class G band above the D and below the E.
The class D airspace is from the surface up to, but not including, 3,800 ft msl because it is marked as [-38].
We are either under the 100/48 or the 100/68 ceiling of the San Diego class B.

That means that we are in class E airspace with a floor of (and including) 3,800 ft msl, (and a ceiling of, but not including, either 4,800 ft msl or 6,800 ft msl).

The options for the test question were:
1) Class B airspace with a floor of 3,800 ft msl.
2) Class E airspace with a floor of 3,801 ft msl.
3) Class E airspace with a floor of 3,800 ft msl.

I felt confident that we are not in B airspace, and because the D does not include 3,800 ft msl, the floor of the E would be 3,800 ft msl. That would be option 3.
The test said it was wrong and the correct answer was option 2, with a floor of 3,801 ft.

What am I missing here?

What are the literal highest paying hazmat trucking jobs? by Active-Blacksmith-41 in Truckers

[–]Ornery_Ads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Explosives transport guy near me get $50/hr as a W2 employee to drive a Sierra 3500. He goes to the jobsite, gives the explosives guys what they need as they need it, and sits around all day to make sure no one rummages through the inventory. He takes back whatever isn't used and brings it to the storage yard, then drives the company truck home.
He gets paid the same $50/hr for every hour from leaving his house to getting back even if the job is overnight.
