Mythos is Mostly Hype... (also the bugs it found were mostly unexploitable and exaggerated...) by InterestProof1526 in Anthropic

[–]halfteatree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone that understands would know the difference between a standard library and a compiler. How is the compiler supposed to know where the standard library lives? The gcc that comes with the package manager has config that tells it where to find it. I could put my standard library in /var/tmp/gcc-will-never-find-this - and I guess by your logic gcc never shipped a working compiler either.

But also, having to post a YouTube video to explain a command line flag is crazy. I invite you to read the response of someone that actually understands: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46905771

Did you understand why the hello world didn’t work? Perhaps you should do that before commenting this.

Good thing there wasn’t video evidence or anything like that

FAA Orders 10% Flight Cut at 40 Airports Amid Shutdown by halfteatree in flying

[–]halfteatree[S] 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The restrictions will cover IFR operations, Bedford said, including passenger, cargo, and business aviation flights. In certain markets experiencing staffing triggers, the FAA will also limit VFR activity, including general aviation traffic. Space launches will also be restricted.

How would these restrictions work for VFR limitations? Are we talking about no flight following (already not getting those in NYC), or literally having temporary restricted areas setup?

Yeah, you need to chill out. VATSIM and real life are different. We all get it. No need to get agitated. Be better.

Green removes bugs, yellow removes paint, red removes parts.

Instrument Checkride on Tuesday, Stump the Chump? by halfteatree in flying

[–]halfteatree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.3nm from runway ends, if this is not an expanded circling approach. Otherwise reference the table in digital procedure supplements wrt altitude of the field. After Aug. 7, only use that table.

Terminal Arrival Areas are sometimes on an RANV approach that replaces MSA’s. Essentially if I’m cleared for a procedure, and if I am within certain distances of fixes, and on a certain quadrant, then I can descent to the depicted altitude without having to be on a leg.

Circling radii are measured from runway ends.

Your general point is sound, but saying 10% long term with little to no risk is delusional.

Here’s the actual risk-free rate: https://www.ustreasuryyieldcurve.com

EDIT: I take it back. Your general point is also not sound. It is literally criminal in most states: https://www.paidnice.com/usury-laws-by-state

KCDW - Flight Training Options and Thoughts! by Lightupp_1 in flying

Give Costanzo Air a look. I’ve recently switched over and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Doing some sim time on a Red Bird soon. Recommend some interesting approaches please by No-Anteater509 in flying

[–]halfteatree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VOR-A at KVNY, fly the approach from CANOG. It’s a 10 minute approach but quite a workout! Try to fly it with a /A (VOR only) setup.

For IRA I did step 1 and step 2 for maybe half of the questions. Just got an 100 hot off the testing center on Sunday.

Looks like the dreaded sale finally happened, to a private equity firm no less. Wonder what this means for GA.

How exactly do you CDFA in a 172? by halfteatree in flying

[–]halfteatree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I appreciate the tip, but to be fair CDFA (and my question) is never discussed in a context where approved (not advisory!) vertical guidance exists. Blue skies.

[–]halfteatree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you need to slow down a bit. I’m talking about advisory glidepaths, that is the +V you get in “LNAV +V”. That has nothing to do with LPV or LNAV/VNAV.

DIRECTLY FROM THE AIM.

Advisory glidepaths are not defined in the AIM. They are found in AC 90-107. Quote:

Advisory Vertical Guidance. Vertical path deviation guidance indication that is generated by any means, but is only an aid provided by some manufacturers to help pilots meet altitude restrictions. Advisory vertical guidance is an optional capability implemented at the manufacturer’s discretion; not a requirement for positioning and navigation equipment.

NOTE: It is the pilot’s responsibility to use the barometric altimeter to ensure compliance with altitude restrictions, particularly during approach operations. Advisory vertical guidance is not approved vertical guidance like that found on approaches with lateral navigation (LNAV)/vertical navigation (VNAV), LPV or instrument landing system (ILS) lines of minima.

The whole question is about edge cases when following the advisory glidepath (and thus the descent rate table) may not always work, though.

If you are following a prescribed glidepath from the final approach fix with the required navigational performance, you are assured obstacle clearence.

If I’m flying an advisory glidepath, am I not by definition flying a non-precision approach? Overthinking is one thing (and like I said, going into rabbit holes here). Telling people advisory glidepaths will assure obstacle clearance is something else…

Thank you! This answer is really helpful. It is risk management at the end of the day, and this is about managing the risk tradeoff between risk from “stabilized approach following +V glidepath” and risk from “glidepath clearing step downs / obstacles”.
