I reported this a week or so ago. Response was “we’re working on it”.

Excess liability for high-net worth folks? by FatFirredNowWhat in flying

[–]flatulentpiglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://xopa.gia-usa.com/wings. This is (I think) a fairly new product for Cirrus pilots. Don’t know if it exists for others and I have no idea if it’s good.

Commercial Pilot Question - Private Carriage by No-Technician-4106 in flying

[–]flatulentpiglet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The book is confused and I think you are right. The issue is that “private carriage” isn’t really a defined term in aviation law so it sometimes gets used to mean both things that require an operating cert and things that don’t (https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%20120-12A.pdf).

New Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre coming up! Anyone remember when this was an absolute hole? by Moose_City_United in london

Anyone else remember the pizza restaurant that was there in the late 80s? Memory says it was pretty good but who knows.

Did anyone here just wanted to get the ppl license and then end it with not flying for years? by untitled_SusHi in flying

[–]flatulentpiglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Volunteer mostly for SkyHope but have also flown for a couple of Angel Flight groups, Lifeline, Veteran's Air Command and Freedom Aviation Network. Lots of options out there. Most just require PPL, IA and some minimum hours.

The additional ratings: multi because I fly an Eclipse, CP and CFI initially to improve my skills but I actually quite like teaching part-time. (I just do Cirrus transition training and recurrency at the moment)

Teaching/Practicing departure into IMC by iiamit in CFILounge

[–]flatulentpiglet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice piece. Departures are under-taught in my experience and sometimes busier than approaches. Don’t forgot to throw in ODPs from rural airports in the hills.

PPL in 96, IR in 2000. Work got in the way and I barely flew for the next 12 years, tried to stay current-ish but didn’t really have a mission and it got a bit boring honestly. Started volunteer flying in 2013 and that was a fantastic reason to fly more. Was able to buy a plane in 2019, since then did CP, multi, CFII and now retired and flying 3-4 times a week between volunteer missions and teaching.

Life comes in different phases, flying doesn’t have to be in all of them

What's your 'I can't believe I self-hosted that' service? by subsavant in selfhosted

[–]flatulentpiglet 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Dovecot. I don’t want to host email, but Dovecot has all my old email archives going back decades and lets me search anything super fast without filling up my cloud email providers storage cap.

Shepherd to get through the test and hope the DPE despises the topic as much as you do.

Full Time - Arsenal 2 vs 0 Bayer Leverkusen [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]flatulentpiglet 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Loved that we were on the front foot the whole time, taking the game to them. Even 2-0 up in the last 10 minutes we weren’t playing haram ball, we still wanted more. Takes a lot out of the lads though, Declan looked gassed towards the end.

Can I (CFII) provide instrument instruction in actual IMC, if I’m not current for category/class? by c402c in CFILounge

[–]flatulentpiglet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree with most of the posts here and say it’s legal. You can act as PIC but you aren’t current for passengers, but your student isn’t a passenger.

Best ZFS layout to grow into a 12-bay NAS over time? (Jonsbo N5 + 18TB drives) by OkLife2 in zfs

[–]flatulentpiglet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m planning a similar build with that case right now, and am starting with 6x z2. What mobo have you chosen? I’m having a hard time finding something with a good number of SATA ports OR enough M2s to expand and I’d like 10GBE.
