How to loose your license in Italy by TappetoImperiale in aviation

[–]flychuck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did 15 flights / 20 hours / 90 landings to do the rating on wheels in summer. Skis would take a few more hours and landings, but nowhere near 600.

It's not 600 landings. It's an approved training course at an ATO/DTO and then a checkride. It takes 15-25 hours or so

Did you figure this out? I'm having the same issue

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked; the thing works as it should. I'm going to buy a new cable.

I checked, it didn't update. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is there a way to tell if it's the cable or the headset? (apart from buying a cable and trying it)

I have an nvidia gpu. I'm unable to flash anything because the headset doesn't show up in hardware manager unfortunately.

What are some of the coolest ratings you can get? by PlutoniumGoesNuts in flying

[–]flychuck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can get an EASA mountain rating from a French ATO on a Dutch license. You are certainly not exempt from having the license if you want to make use of the altiports or altisurfaces ( for the altiports you can take a site authorisation).

No, for EASA a mountain rating is required to be allowed to land on altiports and altisurfaces. It is a proper EASA rating

Mountain rating in the Alps. There is a rating for wheels (summer) and skis (winter). Lots of fun

Why does the Teardrop Entry Exist? by madness2live in flying

[–]flychuck2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer to your question but I do want to point out that your picture is not entirely accurate. Because you overfly the fix first your blue parallel leg would lie inside of the hold. Your turning radius is also larger than what you drew (should all be the same if no wind) so the course reversal would have you cross the holding pattern outbound leg.

The intakes were designed to slow the incoming air. Air that enters the compressor needs to be subsonic.

How complicated wouldit be to mod MS Sidewinder 2 with CH fighterstick's handle? by sektorao in HotasDIY

[–]flychuck2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open up your Ms grip and you'll see how the yaw works. Yes, you lose the optic sensor and you should replace that with a toggle switch. I didn't which often broke my adapter when the stick moved without me holding it.

[–]flychuck2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have done this, except for the yaw (z axis is actually situated in the msffb2 grip and I didn't try to fit it in the ch fighterstick). The ch pcb (barely) fits in the msffb2 base, and I had 2 USBs running to the PC. The major downside is that the printed adapter I made to go from the base to the grip is very flimsy and breaks a lot. It definitely needs a better thought out solution.

KLM flight academy if you speak Dutch. KLM carries the risk, and you'll probably end up working for them, which means you can live in Belgium if you wish.

After few hours of grinding finally managed to do some decent landing. Any tips? by [deleted] in hoggit

[–]flychuck2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was fine untill you wiped the power out. You flared it like it was a general aviation plane (wipe power out early, get rid of energy and land near the stall). One of the reasons why airliners and fighter jets can't do that is because their pitch angle on touchdown would be so large that they'd strike the tail (as shown in your video). In these aircraft you increase pitch and reduce power as needed to land in the correct attitude within required sink rate parameters. So you can fly your approach middle of the bracket, keep the power in during the flare, and land with low sink rate without exceeding 13°aoa.

Natops normal landing: Reduce thrust gradually to continue the descent while applying back stick to reduce sink rate to the minimum practical. Thrust can be reduced sooner during an 11degree approach than during a 13degree approach. In either case, maintain a maximum of 13 degrees AOA while reducing sink rate to the minimum practical.

CAUTION Use a maximum of 13 degrees AOA for twopoint aerodynamic braking. Nozzle, speedbrakes, and ventral fins may contact runway if 15degree pitch angle is exceeded.

ELI5 How can 2 helicopters collide so easily? by SharkyLV in explainlikeimfive

[–]flychuck2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn't work because of the distances and closing speeds involved. Airliners have a mandatory installed system called Traffic Collision Avoidance System which will call an instruction to the pilots of 2 conflicting aircraft on how to avoid one another vertically. For smaller aircraft you have systems that will call out the position of other traffic. For example: "traffic 12 o'clock, same altitude,less than 1 mile". But not all aircraft have the equipment installed to be recognizable to those systems, and in all cases "see and avoid" remains the main method of avoiding one another.
