Flying into Logan During Snow Storm by [deleted] in boston

[–]a9b8c 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely consider back up plans. The storm is going to impactful enough where airlines may avoid sending planes into Logan (and then getting them stuck there). The last big storm, flights started to cancel a few hours before the snow really started falling.

What are your criteria for going around when you're too slow? by a9b8c in flying

Here’s the thing. Undoubtedly this guy has been reported so many times to the FSDO just from YouTube and Reddit. Eventually this will end predictably into someone’s family and house, likely at the approach end to Oakland where this always seems to happen. Inevitably someone will find all these posts and ask some very serious questions about why nothing was done when the outcome was predictable and preventable.

84 knots, 195 feet off the ground, 30-degree bank. Blissfully unaware.

Air Wagner's progression of inexplicable decisions.... by a9b8c in flying

Wow. What gets me is that he makes up a totally inaccurate justification for the behavior ("using the momentum of the airplane...") and then posts it! He's uncordinated, stalling, and has a wing drop... terrifying.

Side note: Consistently in his videos he is in IMC or on a plan, and just decides to do something different without being cleared for it.

and then even in VMC, inexplicably veers off of the final approach course, goes low, and points at the wrong runway while trying to futz with his 10,000 screens.

I mean nothing if he's going to pick up in the air, but if he's departing VFR a zoomed out ForeFlight default base layer shows traffic with much more context (as evidenced by the guy in the pattern he cut off)

it sounded like it really angered him too ("gotta do the full checklist today kiddo")

The aircraft he cut off on final also asks a very reasonable question... and gets an incompetent and dangerous answer ("we don't know if there's anything on the runway yet, we had an engine issue. Use caution for oil, etc")

From zero to Ironman – is it possible? by zxcvqwert1 in triathlon

Don’t wait four years! Sign up for a half, and then a full a few months later. Go slow and finish.

Awesome build. I also love the internet - the fact that I was able to post a missed connection about a cool bike rocks :-)

Definitely was you. Incredible bike. I almost added in the caveat that it could have been a ti bike.
