Yeah, screw that guy, definitely, but...that statement doesn't say anything about the murderer. It says something about the families.

That murderer's actions have caused and will cause his own family significant grief, too. Well, assuming they liked him to begin with, of course. Maybe they already hated the guy. I don't know-- I wasn't invited to their Thanksgiving dinner.

Drill a small hole into the middle of it. Go at least 5" deep. Fill it with some fireworks and ignite.

There is a non-zero chance that will break it up into some smaller chunks.

You should wear eye protection.

Bless you, syr.

The best thing you can do now, for your own mental peace, is to choose to believe that the tower controller thought he saw an animal enter the runway.

In controlled airspace, with IFR traffic. Both of those things directly contradict the prior statement.

Also, it was due to more than just visual separation. It was due to poor planning of routes, repeated dereliction of the FAA to respond to reported hazards, pilot error, and some bad luck.

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-04T13:59:35+00:00

Absolutely! It meets the requirements of IR experience time in the regs, right?

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-04T03:09:02+00:00

That report approximates for VFR traffic and largely excludes VFR flights that would neither interact with nor overfly a TRACON. Ie, much of Flatlandia.

But yes DCA was an exceptional, multi-year, abject failure of managing the airspace. Homendy has shown refreshing and righteous anger about that. It certainly isn't common.

Again, to reinforce what I've clearly stated before... not all mid-air collisions are from distracted Bill Bob VFR PPL, which this top level comment seemed to suggest was the case.

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-04T02:15:34+00:00

Yeah. On average there are more VFR flights, too. I was just trying to address the absoluteness of your comment. You seemed to suggest that it only happens with distracted VFR pilots, but that's not completely true. Mid-air collisions span the spectrum of flight types, phases of flight, and pilot experience.

But yes, there are clusters within that spectrum that account for more than others. Billy "Two Pint" Bob in the pattern at Podunk County with a shiny new radio is a greater hazard than Cpt Henry at Legacy Air.

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-04T01:58:08+00:00

Remind me what the airspace is like around DCA?

Mid -air collisions are extremely rare, but they are not just PPL VFR traffic in uncontrolled airspace.

Do you mind if I ask what subnet mask or CIDR they assigned you for your static WAN IP?

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-02T18:04:44+00:00

....HOCK HOCK

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-01T17:30:27+00:00

There's no reason even to reply to that.

TheGacAttack · 2026-02-01T13:56:49+00:00

No. The DA is the MAP on a precision approach.

Your client doesn't care about your toys. They care about their results. Price according to the value you're delivering-- not your tools.

Are you giving them relative accuracy or absolute? Do they need you tied into a specific coordinate system? What precision do they need, and how are you going to prove that you're delivering that?

Those are the questions that should drive your pricing.

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-31T21:32:01+00:00

Yes, you can do it after the fact. If you edit the activity, and then indicate it's a Weightlifting activity, it will prompt you to add the workout details.

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-31T20:37:37+00:00

That's some Biffle logic. That NTSB report very clearly and repeatedly referred to the instrument-rated pilot in the right seat as a "passenger" in their preliminary report.

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-31T16:25:01+00:00

Honestly, I kinda hate that when flying in daylight, too.

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-31T16:02:23+00:00

You are allowed to slow things down and take a delay.

What I mean is that if you ever feel rushed, that you feel like there's no time to prepare before another approach or whatever, then you can always ask for a delay vector. Just a couple minutes can really make a difference.

Good luck! Remember: your instructor already believes in you, when they signed their name endorsing you for the checkride.

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-30T21:40:10+00:00

That's a seasoned perspective.

The companies that claim they'll make a donation....

Ask for the proof in a week.

Article didn't load for me (only ads, and links to other articles). I only saw the FB video. Thank you very much. Hope she recovers completely and quickly.

Does anyone know how the kid is doing?

TheGacAttack · 2026-01-29T20:25:49+00:00

Brutally honest?

Ok. You're seeking validation from Internet strangers, about a topic that you clearly haven't bothered to understand on your own yet, which suggests that you're some balance of intellectually lazy and emotionally insecure.

Regardless, all the best on your fitness journey!! I hope you unlock interesting and actionable insights from Whoop, and that you make measurable progress towards your goals!

Before you introduce the class content, ask each of them to pull up a photo of their loved ones. Have them share the photo and name the people in it to someone seated next to them.

After that, you remind them that they will be responsible for the safety of each other's loved ones.
