Day to day bullshit: there is nothing like risking the hotel breakfast buffet and it actually being good. We got delayed hard and got done at like 0300 HBT last night and I just ate my weight in fruit, french toast, turkey sausage and somehow good scrambled eggs. Why can’t it always be at least passable

Flew under the hood for the first time. God drat it's crazy how your brain can just not understand it's orientation after a while.

Just wait until you do recovery from unusual attitudes! I would close my eyes and try to follow the movements of the plane to predict what the attitude would be when the instructor handed it back over. I was wrong 100% of the time.

I was actually really really good at staying on my heading altitude and speed the first time I did it, at after about 30 minutes of only making a few small mistakes my instructor was like "you're really good at this so it's time to gently caress you up!". Needless to say I did hesitate way more when I was finally able to look at my instruments because I kept predicting wrong too.

Ya unusual attitudes is all about IGNORING what your inner ear is telling you, opening your eyes, interpreting your instruments, and then acting on that information instead of whatever your reptile brain is screaming at you. Which is wrong.

What is the best website to see real time tracking of general aviation planes, not just big commercial jets

Just a question of who has better coverage in the specific area you’re looking in

ADSB exchange is also better though.

hobbesmaster posted:This is drifting off into trivia land that may be better for one of the other aviation threads (AI or the TFR Cold War one which appears to be on a forum safari atm) but has there ever been a bail out from a transport category aircraft which… well, didn’t involve DB Cooper, I’m feeling too lazy to figure out the qualifiers there. I'm told the sabreliner was designed to be able to discretly insert agents in East Germany. There is a maintenance hatch accessible through the passenger compartment, and when the speed brake is deployed you can leave the plane in flight through the floor. This is not exactly a transport category aircraft though.

I'm invited for the first step of the selection procedure at the airline flight academy. Time to brush up my skills in matrix puzzles.
