I'm comercial pilot with 9000+ hours of A320, B737, and MD80. Every time someone asks me about getting the Private pilot licence, I point them to a glider course. The airmanship and the experience is so much pure and intense in a glide

This is my experience as well. I had my final exams, 2 days with 5 exams each day at mid April (of more than a decade and a half ago, boy I'm getting older fast). Most people in my class (around 40) had been studying since November, ar

Initially I looked at the site from the Iphone so I didn´t see the details. In fact is as you say, just waypoints set in a square way. The rounded corners is just the normal turning radio of the B747.

People in charge of the database is able to load arcs with a given radious. It's not possible to do it from the mcdu (the flight computer keyboard and display). I guess this was designed on the ground and then loaded at the aircraft.

The spanish banks more exposed to the construction bubble bust were the "cajas". They are not for profit saving banks, and not private, they are controlled by politicians and unions. They have saved them because they had huge hole

Honest question: how do hipsters behave? Wthey have appeared in mass just the last year here in Spain(just very unusual before ). So I've had no oportunity to interact with them (just with some friends that are in a rock group, they ha

Honest question: What population do you find excessive and too much for the Earth to be able to sustain it?. By the way, Japan is not throwing people to the sea, just not replacing the ones that pass away, quite a big difference IMHO.

I guess you don´t need high tolerances when the guns are going to be used by untrained troops. Just an example I recently saw a Nigerian policeman walking with his Ak47 on his hand, using it as a walking stick. The Ak was doing the distinct

I'll walk the apalachian trail, at least a part of it. It's almost 6 months walking. It's hard to have another oportunity like this to do it.

There is also the networking, the impersonator will be the one making friends at harvard. After that he only needs to say that he dropped out and doesn't have the tittle, but the conections are there.

I recommend reading "on killing", a book about effects that killing has in soldiers and how it has evolved since WW2. The modern warrior-killer mindset and training is responsible for a great part of the PTSD.

This is very well explained at the book moon lander, it's an amazing inside story of the problems they encountered during the design and comstruction of the modules. What has surpriced me is that the design effort was minor compared wi

That kind of attitude is awesome. But you will agree with me that it's not the normal behaviour on most people. Most people will understand a well intended correction as a personal attack.for example that's what happening with act

You disagree, but then you have to think what you really want to happen. If you want that person to change her point of view, it's probable that even if you are completely right with facts backing your possition you will not achieve it

They were flying with vertical speed, with that mode you tell exactly to the AP how fast you want to go up or down( 1000ft/min is anormal rate for approach). For that mode you don't need a lower capture altitude selected if you ar
