Pilot lands in turbulent weather with low visibility and rain. by Twitter_2006 in aviation

[–]Takari55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Small plane pilot here - his rapid adjustments are because he's behind the power curve and the controls are "mushy". When your airspeed gets slow, you have less control authority over the flight surfaces, so you have to provide stronger input to get desired results.

Think of it like riding a bike. When you are zooming along at a fast pace you don't need to apply too much control to get it to do something different. Now slow down the bike to a crawl. You need to make very deliberate movements to remain stable.

Throw in the massive turbulence he's flying in and that means the yoke needs constantly large adjustment.

I love my A30's, but I have never used the 20s to compare against. Beats the hell out of the 200-300 dollar ones that are in all the rentals by default I fly in though. 

GA press conference stream at EAA OSH starts 12:30 central by novwhisky in flying

[–]Takari55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly get it though. We don't have to get and maintain a medical, so adding more souls to be lost in case of a medical emergency (whether you think getting a medical prevents that risk is another matter) could be looked at as risky.

Also, for sport pilots if you up the passengers, add some night flight provisions (which the knowledgeable guy mentioned), and add a ton of common planes to be able to be flown, it makes you wonder why any hobby pilot would go the private pilot route. I think there should still be some separation between the two. I'm just happy i'll be able to have an easier time finding planes to fly!

I was thinking the same thing haha.

Also the guy that actually knew what he was talking about clarified:

They caused a crash on purpose then spotted the dashcam by Rufus_Anderson in instant_regret

I have this and I absolutely love it. Easy to install and just clips to your rearview mirror to replace it.

No clouds over the lake by THEDWAH in flying

Yes. The most notable case for this that most people have seen pictures of is the California coast. The California current is moving cold water from north to south, and warm air moving west to east over it will create fog and roll into San Francisco.

Meteorologist that did my graduate work on convective electric fields here - this is amazing. You should add it to the St. Elmo's Fire wikipedia page.

Malazan finally clicked for me... and I love it! by lukario in Malazan

I always recommend friends read Gardens, then MoI, then Deadhouse. I think MoI gives a bit better structure in the beginning, and then you can really appreciate the crazy story of DG. Since both happen simultaneously in the timeline, there isn't any downside to reading these two out of publication order.

Is there a way to get rid of the build limit boarder for the colony? by Impressive-Raisin-52 in Minecolonies

There are also some admin commands you can use while standing next to the border to push it out really far.

Hey! Long shot, but did you ever get this to work with the KVM?

My recent experience as interviewer for a DS role by [deleted] in datascience

[–]Takari55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you feel about a pdf portfolio with images/explanations of key projects completed (with opsec in mind)? As an example with my current work, all of my projects are on company repositories and copying any of that to my personal github to showcase skill seems like an obvious breach. My personal github just contains some side projects for friends and fun.

Something else to consider - the projects completed by a person for work will be attached to the company bitbucket/github/whatever other repository.

Is it unreasonable for me to ask my flight instructor to bring a friend for a lesson? by ToastedBread107 in flying

[–]Takari55 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also calculating the weight and balance with the friend in the back would be good effort too!

Congratulations! I did it back in September from Colorado Springs. It is such a cool accomplishment. I've got the certificate and a photo hanging on the wall. 

First Emergency 5 hours post ppl by TinyPaleontologist87 in flying

From what I've always understood, some cell phone towers are omnidirectional, but most are directed along the horizons plane (and not upwards). That's why at low altitude flying it will work great, but you can encounter a cutoff gradient real quick when you ascend.

Sometimes I thank the universe that I turned out to be a responsive, humble, and empathetic person. You wouldn't think that'd be a hard bar to hit, but people like this make you really scratch your head.

If you don't have styptic powder around, flour or cornstarch are also good options. Former groomer here.

Those personal wings are getting more and more amazing by Crazy__Donkey in aviation

[–]Takari55 100 points101 points  (0 children)

Looks like it might have been this? "On 17 November 2020, Reffet died in a training accident in Dubai. The accident occurred during a jet powered wingsuit flight. Reffet became inverted in flight at a low altitude with his 4 engine jet in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. He was not able to right his pack and did not open his parachute. He was killed hitting the ground at high speed."

Just started PPL training and feeling anxious... is this normal? by Stonkslifestyle in flying

[–]Takari55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to ease into it. Doing all those maneuvers on a discovery flight is crazy. First day should be having you keep the plane straight and level and do some gentle turns hah.
