This is one of those posts with tons of images whose alt text is just set to the literal string "alt text". Does anybody know where this phenomenon comes from? This isn't the first time I'm seeing this, and I don't know why anybody ever thought that it was a good idea.
Might be a CMS of some kind because I doubt anyone would purposefully type out "alt text".
Very cool project!
Nice, but I would like to know where you can get those printers for just 20 bucks :)
I’ve been thinking about something like this but with an e ink display. I want something that has the frequencies and waypoints I need in case my iPad dies that isn’t reliant on power. Very cool project!
I'm a dinosaur and I'm always amazed at the technology that pilot's have available to them these days. While complex to learn, having huge glass navigation systems sitting in front of you in a single engine plane seems so foreign to me. I did my instrument ride in a C-172 and my commercial in a PA-44. During both of those checkrides, I ended up having to shoot ILS approaches to minimums, in turbulent IFR conditions,…
It's hard to find NDB approaches at all anymore. Did you do IR in the US? The FAA from what I've read doesn't even encourage an instrument checkride in IMC. That's crazy you did it twice.
I went to colllege to become an airline pilot, and I was shocked that I ended up having to fly an NDB approach in actual conditions to minimums. You just don't see that anymore.
And the tolerances on the checkride is that you can only deviate from the course by a certain number of degrees.
I vividly remember staring at the ADF with the needle swinging wildly left to right as we were tossed around thinking "surely I can't get failed for turbulence"?

I probably understood 20% of the pilot slang you used here.

It's weird as both a commercial pilot and former ATC, I understood absolutely every acronym in the song.
We sure do have a lot of them.

Hah, that was great! It's weird as both a commercial pilot and former ATC, I understood absolutely every acronym in the song. We sure do have a lot of them.
