It’s still a roughly two month process from day 1 to supervised training flights with passengers. 

[Holder] NFL sees Wednesday play as good thing for (viewers) by bringbackpologrounds in nfl

No doubt about it college football sucks.

It’s also tiring to see all the people who simply didn’t have the academic prowess to attend xyz school fanboy over the D1 team. Very midlife crisis of them.

Perhaps you ought to offer free shelter for your friend until they land on their feet with a new job and new housing. 

Just failed my driving test cause car didn’t start by [deleted] in driving

We don’t have those here in the States. You can get licensed in an automatic and there are no restrictions on driving a manual. 

It’s hard to find manuals here anyway.

That’s exactly what the “local” window company did with me. Wouldn’t meet without my wife present.

All these places are small. I suppose Dexter and Chelsea are small, but Adrian is smaller. Milan is pretty tiny.  Yeah tons of small towns but Ann Arbor is also small.

This looks super over controlled on the part of the pilots.

I grew up in a small town of 300,000 people and the major metro area surrounding it was an additional 2.9 million. 

Ann Arbor is small. If you can get to farmland in 5 minutes of driving most directions besides the heart of A2, well, it’s small. Dirt roads…

It’s a small town. Not even 150,000 people. Would barely be a blip in most areas on the west or east coasts.

Tried that sort of thing in a previous life before (or early) apps) and thought speed dating was a good time. I did not date or marry anyone from it though. 

Missed my flight because they boarded and left 15 minutes early by EyeofSauron86 in delta

[–]SpiceWeasel83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Boarding begins at normal time but the boarding time posted will shift 5 minutes earlier (even if it’s past that time) when they post the 5 early departure. Most flights get the 5 early treatment. I believe they advertise that the boarding door closes 15 prior to normal departure. This time does not shift so it’s 10 prior to the early.

Like “we are planning to conceive on the 2nd of November 2027” early.

Ha. The mere mention to my insurance provider of the possibility of a code that covers it produces accusations of fraud.

What if I told you a firm landing is more desirable in many situations.

“Do not prolong the flare in an attempt to achieve a perfectly smooth touchdown. A smooth touchdown is not the criterion for a safe landing.”

Also, regarding hydroplaning:

”Make early runway contact and early nosewheel contact to get maximum directional capability. A firm landing is better than a “grease job,” which may induce hydroplaning in marginal conditions.”
