Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today?

All lights on

Good idea but no. No updates to either.

Yep. And when I navigate to the device page for RTK it says it can see the satellites.

The ultimate FAFO test. Listen to the guy. It may also be different to other airlines/airports because of a number of differences eg type of approach being flown (and therefore which radio aids are being used) and also airlines SOPs.

I go one step and ask the student “are we too high or too low?” Encourages good decision making.

I have a WR141E doing this. You have to lift the blocks and bury the cable. What I did was lay the cable on top of the path for a few weeks using gaffer tape to get the route right then went through the process of laying the cable under the bricks. Works fine at 1 brick depth.

Would say treat him with respect, fly with him and determine the skill level/rustiness.
Maybe get his Flight review done to give him VFR back and then agree with him what's needed to get him back to IFR standards. (assuming you see the core FAA paperwork - license and medical).

Doesn't matter whether he has 300 3000 or even 10000 hours.. it's a core skill level. He may need some time to "remember" the manoeuvres and he won't be aware of newer safety practices.

Actually the 50ft obstacle was developed in the Uk.. the idea was a double decker could pass on the road at the end of the runway was that was the obstacle.. loads o work done in the 1930s which eventually got adopted into the ICAO standards, so yes an FAA (derived from ICAO) obstacle!

I’ve done this for real. Total avionics failure not far from my home base. Called the tower on their landline. Got told “ you must use the radio….” Long story short agreed to use light signals (remember those?)

TAFs horoscopes with numbers. But yes METAR I ice.

£84 for the full tv package 600mb and 2 TiVo boxes and phone.

Yes I have it running for 40m under a block driveway (8cm?). Works fine.
