   I looked it up again. All un-crewed free balloons with payloads meeting certain conditions are required to be radar-reflective, and notice to ATC is mandatory; ATC is entitled to position reports if they want them. 14 CFR Part 101 Subpart D

   Putting aside whether there’s a correlation, forums develop their own unique cultures—a product of the moderation system, unspoken norms, and the specific individuals who comment there. A different forum might be discussing the exact same a

   Fair warning to anyone thinking of taking advantage of this gray area: the FAA is very, very strict when it comes to interpreting whether something is a commercial op. Pilots, for example, are considered to be getting compensation when they

   Restrictions on commercial flight are there to protect the public from getting involved with unsafe operators. It’s to ensure that people obtaining flight services are getting a safe product.

   Are you sure? I looked into this extensively a few years ago, and while I don’t remember well enough to say with certainty, I recall there being strict equipment requirements (e.g. redundant payload releases) and a requirement to notify any

   This sighting at least isn’t in the bravo. The person is under the shelf in class E and therefore isn’t violating any airspace. They wouldn’t be subject to transponder or ADS-B requirements either because they (probably) don’t have an engin

    I don’t understand this at all. Is there a side-by-side comparison of radar and visible wavelength somewhere? Or maybe a version of the geometric diagrams with example objects and the imagery they’d produce? EDIT: Ok, after Googling this a

    Well, people may not be calling "the police" per se; they call 911. And then 911 sends the police, because who else are they going to send?

    This reminds me of when I did my master’s thesis. At a certain point I had the distinct experience of being forced to turn off part of my brain to get through it. I described it as “mashing the keyboard while screaming through the feelings.

    Nothing damning about it. It works. I know seven people who have experienced engine failures in general aviation airplanes. Not one had anything to do with the carburetor.

    Or the fundamental attribution error. If someone else does something wrong, it's because of who they are as a person; if I do something wrong, it's because of my special circumstances.

    I remember reading, in a book on GAs published in the 90s, that a “tit-for-tat” strategy* handily beat evolved players. *Wherein the player does whatever their opponent did in the previous round.

    This is a backend concern, not a frontend one. The backend shouldn’t naively accept input without making sure the input is within the backend’s limitations.
