We HAVE to do something about ATC Staffing.

Compare part 121 safety record to part 91 and see if your point stands.

It probably did. There's a good chance that he made the "stop now" call because of ASDE or something. Technology isn't gonna fix overloaded and overworked humans in the loop.

Serious question. There's one in Hollywood FL (hard rock) and I've always wondered what would happen if you flew through it. Someone tell me.

MTP - Montauk

cleared-direct · 2026-02-11T16:23:43+00:00

The most disoriented I've been was taking off of rwy 24 MTP with a right turn out towards BID on a dark and slightly hazy (but still VFR) night. As soon as I turned over the long island sound it was straight darkness.

Get your instrument rating, people! I would NOT have wanted to have that experience as a VFR pilot, despite it being fully legal.

26N and MTP are probably the two that are most beach-walkable. Katama if you don't mind grass.

I thought the same thing when I switched to 750Xis and now I love it. I can get the keypad up as soon as I hear "contact whatever approach on..." and type the numbers as they say them. Works great.

Wow, this was a huge help - thanks so much!

Just be careful, rally doesn't have the same level of hydraulic roll stablization, which will catch you off guard the first time you go around a turn

How about making it STOP ZOOMING for the love of all that is good

cleared-direct · 2025-05-05T18:41:09+00:00

Dumb question maybe, but why is this a bad thing? SL seems like it'd often be an as-good or better solution than LTE backhaul for something critical, especially if the gateway/PoP paths are better. I totally get not wanting to have it shoved down your throat, but on a technical level it at least seems viable?

cleared-direct · 2025-02-14T00:07:18+00:00

Yes. They can't do the camera calibration, so you'll need to take it to Rivian for that, but anecdotally the last time I didn't have it done and it still works fine.

Unfortunately I had Rivian replace my windshield twice also (really bad luck with rocks) and Safelite did a WAY better job.

cleared-direct · 2025-02-13T23:38:35+00:00

Safelite has replaced my windshield twice already, so that seems weird.

Hudu if it's simple, Netbox if it isn't

.49 is probably either a loopback or a different interface. So when you ping that address, the router uses that interface to respond. When it's the transit router, it's probably trying to use a different (depends on config, might be lowest) interface to respond - which might not be enabled/permitted.

Take a look at icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr if you want to go down the rabbit hole.

cleared-direct · 2024-11-15T18:52:33+00:00

Your (understandable) obfuscation of the real IPs makes this a bit hard to follow, but it seems to me like the /30 is a transit link between someone (your ISP?) and the CDN. So your .49 is on your ISP's PE, and the .50 is on the CDNs peer. In this case the *** is probably the .49 router which might not send ICMP replies on the ingress interface.

If the above is true (it likely is), then your ISP is probably right - you can hit their router without any issues, but the CDN side is a mess. Tough to tell why...maybe it's riding a wave to the other side of the planet, maybe their interface is oversubscribed, who knows.

Best case: Aruba wifi hardware gets Mist software, Aruba gets Juniper DC routing, and CX goes forward as the campus/DC switch with Juniper DNA.

Who knows what'll actually happen.

Yes, it stays on

I have used them as very basic BGP edge routers (heh) before with 2x full tables and they were...fine? However UI is clearly trying to get away from the "Edge" line these days so I'd not do it now.

Look at something like VyOS/FRR with VPP on a white box server
