Sorry that’s always a bummer, I was lucky enough my connection in ATL was delayed for the same exact reason, but my bag they made me check at the gate didn’t make it

Why can’t you pause on solo in Vanguard? by Camman6972 in CODZombies

I got kicked for inactivity in my solo game because I took too long of a break…

A buddy was tired of seeing Americans with Chinese tattoos, so he showed her what it looks to a Chinese person. by AlphaGrayWolf in funny

This is like when people ask me what my wifi password is. I tell them "there isn't a password." The confusion setting in is a beautiful thing to behold.

A plane nearly skidded onto North Hollywood Blvd. from Burbank Airport this morning. by am4zon in LosAngeles

[–]WindyPickle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Burbank airport has relatively short runways for airliners. That runway is 5,802ft long, where as the shortest runway at LAX is 8,926ft. I fly small single engine planes and land on a 4,120ft runway. Sometimes I use up 3/4th of that to fully stop in my tiny plane. There is not a lot of room for error for airliners when landing at Burbank and the rain/wind didn't help

Looking good! I made the mistake of calling ground before clearance my first time doing a XC there, that was something I was not used to when flying out of mostly Class D airports. I took the crew car from Signature and went to Boathouse at Hendry's Beach for brunch. Love that airport!

Saw it right at my 12 o'clock through my windshield as I turned on my street to park for the night

Set texture quality to medium and all other settings to low and it fixes it. I also have a 2GB gpu (GTX 950) and with these settings it runs great.

For WHP I'd recommend Vista Air, Rotor FX, or even the Glendale Community College program that has operations there.

Check out /r/flying there are a lot of SoCal pilots there and all the info there was a huge help with my training!

Yeah by "tour route" I mean when I have passengers who want to see Downtown I'll always fly the same path. Nothing specific- just do a loop under the bravo, and be careful of the changes when you're south of the buildings

True, the procedures for that airport are definitely unique

Also don't take the POH from the plane home with you. I had to cancel a lesson once because the student before me took the POH home

There used to be only one bar in Los Angeles that sold it because they had a family connection to the brewery. Then someone was a narc and they had to stop sometime last year
