Two VOR stations will give you a fix, but since GPS took over from legacy RNAV, that’s now rarely used operationally in the US. More common is to use Nav2 tuned to a VOR to find an intersection on the arrival and Nav 1 to fly the final (ILS

In either case, asking for and being cleared for a visual approach (as the crew did and was) puts the onus on them to maintain continuous visual contact with the airport and to maintain their own terrain and obstacle clearance, which it’s s

I believe it’s been made public that this was a jamming test, not a spoofing test.

I’d bet a lot of money that the NTSB will determine that the pilots’ failure to maintain clearance from terrain during a visual approach will be the primary cause with contributing factors of dark, moonless night and GPS jamming. That one’s

I suspect nearly “any” solution is good enough to get started and learn what users use and like. In my guessed-at ideal world, assuming the permissions setting isn’t complex, I’d like the ability for a user to define multiple teams and mana

I agree they don’t “deserve” to die, but someone comfortable with that level of risk management is quite hard to fully protect from themselves.

All VORs provide a radial that you’re on. Not all provide a distance to the station. VOR/DME or VORTACs provide both. Plain VORs do not. As more and more are decommissioned, the percentage that support distance-measuring goes up, as th

The key feature of this is the zero power storage on the business card. In a drone or robo delivery case, there is already a massive power storage budget available, so I don’t see the particular advantage of this hack being relevant.

Much of your argument rests on the claim that those terms are fully interchangeable. Many posters, both native and non-native speakers, have observed that they are not fully interchangeable.

I can’t see a catalytic converter theft on a car parked on the street as burglary. Parked in a (private) garage? Yes, burglary. Parked on the street? No. So, daytime theft of a converter from a car parked outside wouldn’t qualify I don’t th

I think the last 20 years of that 45 year period were substantially due to exactly what they described. If you give any debit for the decade-long Great Depression, or wartime malaise due to loss of life, emotional toll, and rationing, it’s

Whether or not what you say is correct, it does not at all contradict GP’s two claims.

I don’t think I understand. If I pay cash for everything and my cash level fluctuates down to $0 temporarily, how do I buy something right then?

No. Everyone has an equal right as each other precisely because we all share the same planet! It would seem far more weird to me to argue the opposite: “These people have the right to emit 2x or 10x as much as these other people!” (Or equ

I believe that every person has just as much right to emit pollution in 2027 as every other person in 2027. What that person emitted in 2025 has no bearing on their 2027 “allowance”. We can certainly discuss how much is an appropriate, sust

I don’t think looking at first derivative of emissions per capita is more important than absolute measure when thinking of the morality of polluting. If China’s per capita is lower than some other place, they’re doing better. The first deri
