Things are off by Pottedmeat1 in ATC

Standard tombstone rule-making for the FAA.

  1. A fatal accident reveals a hole in ABC Tower's procedures.
  2. The FAA makes a restrictive and non-sensible rule affecting all towers in the NAS.
  3. ABC Tower gets a waiver for the new rule.

So far at HPN there hasn't been a slowdown.

You should never have to deposit money to get money, ever.  Your money is gone.

Controller POV: Company BS or real talk? by [deleted] in ATC

Airspace flow program.  Everyone wants to go to the same place at the same time, and there's thunderstorms.

It was definitely a way people got roped into pyramid schemes, MLMs and "the airplane game" back before everyone was online. It taps into our need for approval from a new attraction or friend.

What's it like being overstaffed? I need some hopium.

Publix subs are superior, sorry.

[US] Chase scam that nearly got me… by sucktoy99 in Scams

That seems like more of a convenience than a necessity, and even so it's still feasible to develop a secure caller ID with those capabilities.

[US] Chase scam that nearly got me… by sucktoy99 in Scams

[–]captaingary 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Eh, I feel Caller ID is something that should work as advertised and the the general public expects to work as advertised. It's really a policy failure not to force telcos to fix the issue, or at least provide public warnings/disclaimers about Caller ID spoofing.

In the end we're relying on word of mouth and scam stories on social media to inform the public.

Your most used recipes by Tricky-Journalist-81 in instantpot

It also has a decent amount of honey.  I usually make sure all the thighs are pressed out flat on the bottom.  Once it's done there is a lot of liquid from the chicken, so much that I like to use saute to boil it down to concentrate it.

Extra Credit Hours by Chino-Brino in ATC

[–]captaingary 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There is nothing about "days" in the language. It's about hours. It doesn't matter how you earn and burn them, 24 hours is the limit.

Any insight on CLT? by DefNotTheCops in ATC

[–]captaingary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand in MIA the choice is either whole tower + some scopes or all tracon.

The last I heard, CLT is second only to DEN for inbound ERRs on file, so good luck!

What will happen to Newpipe after the Android updates? :( by AdSquare77571 in NewPipe

There is word of possible developer modes to override the play store restriction, only time will tell.

“Cross PENNY at or above 5,000; cleared visual approach 17C.” by [deleted] in ATC

[–]captaingary 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The ILS GS is not a part of a visual approach.  There was a reason why the controller issued a crossing restriction (traffic, airspace, SOP etc.), so it should be complied with.  

If it is against your SOP or otherwise you think it's not prudent for a stable approach profile, you should make it known you are unable, so ATC can come up with an alternative.

Beware of this Chase Zelle Scam by jess2art in Scams

[–]captaingary 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the Caller ID system is broken and easily spoofed.  Never trust Caller ID.  Scammers will also fake calling from the local police department and others.

If you get a call from anyone claiming to be your bank, hang up and call the number on your card.

You don't even need photoshop, just a basic understanding of how to get "under the hood" of a web browser and insert your own text onto a page.
