Re: General aviation and the metric system
In China and North Korea they use metres for altitudes, Russia used to as well but recently switched over to flight levels in feet. Winds in Russian metars/ATIS are given in metres per second. Visibilities everywhere (except for North America it seems) are given in metres as well. Interestingly, Rus...

Re: Fly-By-Wire Guys
The 777 has direct, conventional control links available to the hydraulic actuators for two spoilers and the stabilizer. The manual makes it very clear that you have no chance whatsoever of actually flying the airplane with those but that they permit "level flight to be maintained until electrical ...

Re: Rush Passport
I just got a new passport (today actually) from an overseas consulate. I applied for it about a month ago and was able to keep my old passport in the meantime by showing my airline ID because I also had a trip to the US to do. It was just another one page form to fill in; no extra fee or anything ap...

Re: Flying Wild Alaska
I prefer it to ice pilots as well, little less drama although it is windy there some, of the reporting and actual winds are over done a bit. You don't land a light Cessna in a direct 40 knot cross wind. From eye balling it the stronger winds shown seem to be in the 20-25 knot range which is still p...

Re: Faster than the speed of light?
Yes and any mass will make the formula go up exponentially as you approach the speed of light. No mass, no momentum, no energy required to accelerate it to the speed of light (Well, not quite. The problem of energy and light (photons) is why we came up with quantum mechanics in the first place). I ...

Re: Faster than the speed of light?
Well, here's how physics works according to current theory: Neutrinos have mass therefore they cannot travel faster than the speed of light because they would have to have infinite momentum and so it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate them to that speed. Momentum formula that you ...

152 vs 172? Not going to be much difference if you ask me. Have you considered other FTU's on the field? IPFA has Katanas (or at least had them last time I was there).

Re: 48÷2(9+3)
Just copy and paste it to google search. Gives you the answer. Nope, Google adds parentheses and operators to clarify the problem. There is no debate that (48/2)*(9+3) = 288, that is what Google solves for you. Throw the equation into a pocket calculator. All of mine make the same assumption that I...
