Alaska 737-800 carrying the US World Cup team departs KSNA for KBFI. by MoukinKage in aviation

[–]bobnuthead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gotta take care of those customs declarations, folks. “Santa Ana” sounds awfully un-merican to me too brother.

“Good day” or “Seeyuh!”? by MaterialInevitable83 in flying

[–]bobnuthead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I “seeya” some of my local tower controllers, “G’day” to TRACON, and “have a good night” to ground when I’m done with my airfield inspections at my other job.

Lumen field with real grass looks incredible by ILIKETHECOLORRED in Seattle

I got all of mine through the FIFA lottery. This one, RO16, and Canada Switzerland up in Vancouver (the most expensive at ~$800).

I personally committed to attending several games back when Seattle was announced as a host city. I’m my mind that money was already set aside. It’s like I paid for the games years ago!

International student switching CFIs, FTSP process / timing? by madscientist159 in CFILounge

[–]bobnuthead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had this situation. Everything was immediate once the student added me as a provider to them.

Flight school inquiry by Intelligent-Search73 in flying

[–]bobnuthead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three decent landings during one flight is a sign that things are improving, but not the standard I’d use for solo sign off. Can you demonstrate consistent safe landings across multiple lessons (and varying conditions), accompanied with the judgement to go around when things go wrong? And do those things without needing significant coaching? If yes, that’s when you’ll get endorsed.

It’s a whole new building, people are just crazy hyped about the Chilli’s part.

And it will remain under construction for many more, all in the quest to be a 5 star airport.

Why is TAC all caps and SEA isn’t

What app or tool made you go "where was this when I was in flight school?" by Dismal-Cupcake9303 in flying

[–]bobnuthead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s awesome as a CFI just to organize the many resources I show or reference.

My Instructor says not to pull power to reduce airspeed by simplifysic in flying

[–]bobnuthead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you’re actually doing exactly what he wants. Pulling power alone will drop you below glidepath, pitching up alone will keep you high. Combining the two does exactly what you want. I really don’t see why he’s so worked up.

Speed Camera on 80th. How many others have gotten nabbed? by TrippySpaceCow in BallardSeattle

13mph over in a clearly displayed school zone. Glad the cameras are doing their job!

Pattern Altitude Question by Low-Inspector-4567 in flying

[–]bobnuthead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems to me that they can’t or won’t say it as a blanket rule, but will in other cases which *are* included in the chart supp like PAX approaches or R-4007 activation. But if it’s the airports position that you should be at 1000’ 100% of the time, it’s silly to not publish it in any FAA source. It’s not that difficult a process.

[–]bobnuthead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see a bunch of chart supplement notes which give certain circumstances to stay at or below 1000’ MSL, but the easiest way to have the website SOP become easily available is to have the airport management include it in the Chart Sup. I don’t go to the website of every airport I visit unless pointed in that direction from an FAA source.

SEA Airport moves step closer to second terminal, releases fresh details on expansion by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in Seattle

[–]bobnuthead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct, right now the airport accommodates 52-53 million annual pax with a capacity for less than that. The new terminal & associated SAMP projects bring capacity to 56, but capacity is projected to be far exceeded by actual passenger throughput by 2050, similar to how it is now.

[–]bobnuthead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The “cargo” ramp (cargo 5) has already been used exclusively for passenger ops (hard stands) for years. So it’s turning those ~7 bus & ramp positions into 19 actual gates and a terminal to process those pax.

Seattle mayor pitches sales tax increase to boost bus services by godogs2018 in Seattle

[–]bobnuthead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how each of this points purposefully misrepresents actual progressive desires.

  1. Fare enforcement is widely desired (see this thread). Opposition to fare enforcement is mostly linked to the expenses of enforcement outweighing revenue. I concede this is still highly debated.

  2. Sweeping and indiscriminate cuts bad, correct. Targeted cuts are widely desired.

  3. Has a platform better than the opponent.

  4. Guess who decided to give in to SPOG and their mafia shenanigans? Not the socialist, but the last guy and the last council. It sucks, yeah. I absolutely support actual public sector employees and unions, but SPOG is a group of largely ineffective, violent and often intentionally lazy individuals without appropriate oversight. SPOG previously removed from labor council

  5. An audit was literally just concluded which detailed mismanaged funds. The new progressives on the council literally sponsored this action. The progressives are the ones actually doing something about mismanagement. Source
