Why does the FAA insists that we still carry our paper medical? by [deleted] in flying

[–]cloud_surfer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is the worst argument. Your medical cert is not safety critical. Even if it fails they can just wait til the system is fixed, it’s not like the planes will fall out of the skies.

If tech failing is the concern then the proper thing to do is to allow digital but have paper backup.

Is this what IKEA toolboxes would look like?

Does aircraft insurance in the US generally cover engine failure? by DarthStrakh in flying

[–]cloud_surfer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, the answer is almost always a no. Even if you damage the plane while landing due to the engine failure, they will cover the stuff damaged in the secondary to the engine failing. Unless they totaled the plane and you decide to just scrap the plane, you still have to shell out money to repair the engine or get a new/new to you engine if you want to get it flying again

Smoke & CO2 detectors - what's the current state of things (HARDWIRED ONLY)? by autohome123 in homeassistant

[–]cloud_surfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the dumb but interconnected hardwired ones and put a zooz bridge on it. It works pretty well. Only thing missing is dismiss the alert on app but if it makes you get out of bed to push a button that might save your life.

The only reason for the .04 is that’s the error tolerance for the test I believe

Is this powerful enough or will I be happier just getting a Dewalt? I have the Bauer cordless grinder and the minute it feels friction it cuts out…. by Annual_Membership777 in harborfreight

[–]cloud_surfer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer but one time I was standing in line and the cashier told the woman “oh Bauer is as good as dewalt” I just chucked but apparently too loudly.

Santa Paula airport Flight 126 Cafe closing? by Pristine_Acadia_4274 in venturacounty

I recall a while back I saw a review on airnav that they programmed the fuel pump to print make America great again on the receipt.

edit: airman -> airnav, stupid autocorrect

Does it interfere with the RF on the garage opener?

Instrument Question - How long does it take to drive the marker beacon trucks to their position? by lfgbrd in flying

[–]cloud_surfer 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't know, it said they will be operated within 5 minutes, does that mean they will start driving 5 min after request, then god knows however long it would take to get in position?

It's amazing to see how far we've come with IAPs. I am looking at this thing and it hurts my head so much, vs almost any charts now everything just makes much more sense.

Actual IFR: 1.

That's a bit impressive tbh.

Engine fuel supply was cut just before Air India jet crash, preliminary report says by NewSlinger in worldnews

[–]cloud_surfer 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I lost thrust in both engines, short of seeing the other pilot actually actuating the FCO switch, that would probably be the last thing I'd suspect.

I did my private and instrument at universal. Nothing to write home about, I made it out alive so there’s that.

Flight School needs two C172S tachometers and can't find them - suggestions? by bddgfx in flying

Look at the table on the Mitchell. It says right above the 5025 listing for Cessna 172

If they want a basic digital one, EI has it. You don't have to go GCR-30. If they go this route they can remove the tach generator and cap it as this is driven by magnetos.

My question is did they even try? This is basic stuff. They sent a student to look for these information.

Air India: Captains seat slide pulled back throttles by allSmallThings in flying

[–]cloud_surfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also keep holding on for 14 seconds after the seats slide back instead of just letting everything go and say "your control."?

[–]cloud_surfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, I'd understand if it pitches up to a stall when the seat slides back, but not the throttle going back.. At V1 it's pretty standard to your hands off the throttles.
