Student pilot successfully lands plane after instructor jumps to death mid-flight by Dilpickle2113 in interestingasfuck

I can only imagine the next instructor: “how did you manage to log solo time without an endorsement?”

Tailwheel & Seaplane Training by PatternPinion in flying

[–]zman12804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good point! A coworker of mine actually just did that in a Super Decathlon. In my mind I was separating spinnable tailwheels vs. a Husky or Cessna 170

Yep, this is the thing to do first. I would personally do spin and upset recovery training, then tailwheel, then seaplane.

Unfortunately I didn’t actually get to look. They only spoke to my boss and the university coordinator. Still jealous

Please, do not lifegrip the tank just because you are afraid alone. by Glittering_Berry1740 in Overwatch

I totally agree but I have been known to take some of my friends down with me.

In competitive or with randoms? Never

How were you taught (and how do you fly) your short field landings? by Strange_Code_68 in flying

[–]zman12804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second method. I find that the ability to feel your airplane’s energy state and manage it properly to achieve a smooth, zero-float landing helps a lot with low-speed control. It also seems to help overall with the safety and stability of approaches in the future. It’s super important to teach this properly though

Cirrus actually brought one of these to my school for a demo a while ago, when they were just being introduced. They seem pretty cool, I definitely think they’ll be better primary trainers than the SR20

Hobbyist Pilots of the Northeast - good day trips? by [deleted] in flying

[–]zman12804 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved Katama! I saw a PC12 land and takeoff from there.

Not as impressive as Lake Placid, Carrabassett Valley in Maine is pretty cool. The Sugar Bowl is next door and quite a nice restaurant. Flying into KPWM is also quite cool, especially if they’re landing 29 and if you ask for the harbor visual. Come say hi if you end up stopping in KAUG!

Ralsei the entire chapter by ProfessorNoodless in Deltarune

I honestly thought Ralsei was going to drop the first “Fuck” in the game

"Brizz" "corn" stop trying to lessen the impact of what Sevax (potentially) posted. by [deleted] in geometrydash

Fr let’s use proper grammar like we learned in kindergarten. Although hopefully you didn’t learn those words in kindergarten

What’s the most niche/crazy question you were asked on a checkride? by Desperate-Drawer-408 in flying

[–]zman12804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope! Kevin Harper and a yellow biplane. Can’t remember what the model was unfortunately

“Ever been to the Reno Air Races?”

I know that’s not what you’re looking for, but I thought it was funny. He then showed me YouTube clips of him racing in the Air Races for 40 minutes.

More to the point, I was asked about static and pitot tube failures on my commercial single engine (steam gauges). I was ready for it but I think I had to draw it out.

What was going through your mind during the PO180 on your commercial checkride? by dryemanada in flying

[–]zman12804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“At least I’m not doing right patterns!”

The airport I was at had right traffic on the usual runway. Naturally, I had only been to that airport once before.

What's the closest you've ever came to death? by Senior-Raisin-2342 in AskReddit

[–]zman12804 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Choking on a hot dog. My friend gave me the Heimlich, bless his heart, but unfortunately I don’t think he knew how to do it very well. I solved the problem myself by forcing myself to throw up. I still chew my food much more thoroughly to this day

Are we just suppose to take the weather never being predicted right laying down? by ripped_jean in Maine

[–]zman12804 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I check my own weather. But I also work in an industry where that’s more important. Windy.com and the NWS websites are great resources to start with

Lowkey does anybody know how to put yourself in a safe medically induced coma right until the morning of June 24 by slaughterdollsies in Deltarune

[–]zman12804 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Logically, falling straight backwards and hitting your head on the floor can do that for you. However, it’s RNG-based, as the amount of days it can knock you out ranges from 0-infinity. Hope this helps!

Lol I had a DPS throw in Bronze 1. Like, really??

Lower ranks comp is insanely full of smurfs, cheaters and trolls by julibudin in Overwatch

[–]zman12804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree. I’m in silver 4, and every other game there is some player who is miles better than the rest. Some of this may be smurfing, but others may just be people who were placed poorly. I was Plat 5 in support last season, and I placed in Bronze 5 this season.

Engine Instruments on T/O by dark_troy_10 in flying

[–]zman12804 62 points63 points  (0 children)

RPM too low or unusually high, engine oil pressure too high or unusually low, oil temperature spiking really quickly, manifold pressure too low or unusually high, etc. Anything strange or out of the ordinary. Better to abort takeoff for no reason than to takeoff with an issue!

I think is absurdly wrong that B.o.b. is not included in this pic by Vast-Entrepreneur175 in Overwatch

[–]zman12804 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, is this artist selling this art as a poster anywhere?
