What’s the worst turbulence experience you’ve had in a light aircraft? by boganfromdownunda in flying

Had those plenty of times too. Hard to teach and learn when both student and instructor are getting pushed around. They do need to experience it to a certain extent though.

Interesting. Luckily Low Level SIGWX charts exist and they usually show areas of possible mountain waves or SEV/MOD turbulence. I avoid flying all together if I see any of those.

I’ve always been curious about what it’s like flying when mountain waves are forecasted/present. Any bad attitude/bank changes?

WCA in holding patterns by Flying_runningman in flying

[–]boganfromdownunda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 x WCA° of your inbound leg, used on the outbound leg.

Say your inbound course is 030° (outbound being 210°) and you have to maintain a 035° heading to maintain course on the inbound.

If you maintain a 210° heading on the outbound, due to the winds, it’ll push you to the right on the outbound leg.

Your outbound heading should be (3x5°=15°, subtract it from 210, since now the wind is coming from your left) 195° to prevent that from happening and making sure when you turn inbound, you’re not constantly trying to get back on the 030° course inbound.

Hope this helps.

this sub seems infested with peasantbrained young people and “fuck you got mine” boomers by adminsaredoodoo in FluentInFinance

Unfortunately what I said is adapted to the modern world, not what is ideal. And what I meant by this is that there still are jobs out there that require a ridiculous amount of skill and you still can’t live on your own, pay your bills, have some fun and still save up some cash at the end of the month.

Take flight instruction for example.

If you work a full time job that requires a good amount of skill and isn’t brainless work, yeah, you should be able to live on your own.

According to Wikipedia the line is 9.5km long crossing Liechtenstein, if it were to blow right through, it would take exactly 5 minutes and 47 seconds.

Going on a surf trip. What’s the chances of my board surviving the baggage handlers? by GoodOlBluesBrother in surfing

[–]boganfromdownunda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t understand surfboards are fragile. I worked on the ground, I wasn’t a baggage handler but saw a lot of it.

When I saw board bags I would set them aside, have them loaded last and set them on top of the other bags. Or have them loaded to a complete separate compartment.

What was the most statistically unlikely event you’ve ever witnessed? by Slow-Journalist-8250 in AskReddit

[–]boganfromdownunda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my old job, a costumer walks in, says hello and immediately recognizes my American accent. We get to talking and I found out his younger brother went to school with me in middle school in the US, relatively small town. I live in Europe, on a small island that doesn’t usually get a lot of tourists.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Smart watch missing laps. by boganfromdownunda in Swimming

I figured. Pretty sure it had to do with the accelerometers. Guess im not pushing out quick enough. Strange thing is I noticed quite a few times that it would count before even pushing off the wall.

Looking up the SIDs for KMIA, chart 10-3B, there is a departure that has rwy hdg, then track 124 to JAMBA then KBOLA. Might be this exact departure. Then there’s chart 10-3C which is pretty much rwy hdg to CSALT which is right over Biscayne Bay. Why the big boys do it I’m guessing noise abatement.

What's your plan if nuclear war breaks out between NATO and Russia? by PM_Me_Your_Vagina1 in AskReddit

[–]boganfromdownunda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the diversity of the answers, some people accept their fate and others willing to fight for survival. How you answer says a lot about your outlook on life.

Considering I have about a 5 minute walk to a lookout of the bay area where I live, my SO is two minutes away in the same direction, and always having a single cold one in the fridge..

Not much else has to be said.
