I might need to search one of these out for my collection.
So there I am last March at the Spring 2024 London…
dapprmanGerade gelesen: Laut SERA.2020 (Standardized European Rules of the Air): Konsum psychoaktiver Substanzen kann bei Piloten zu Entzug der Lizenz führen. Ich verstehe, wozu die Regel sein soll. Und finde sie eigentlich auch gut .
Spannende Frage: Gilt das auch für (verschriebene) ADHS-Medikation? Kennt sich zufällig jemand aus, ist Pilot (Paragliding, UL, PPL oder auch größer) und hat ADHS? Gerne Retoot!
My wife attended the KidScreen conference in San Diego this weekend to #pitch her #TV show concept, Lilypad Library. I spent a few weeks of nights and weekends getting her #pilot episode put together and I'm so happy she got really positive responses to her pitch. If you'd like to check it out, here's the full episode on #YouTube:
On the nerdy side of things I was really happy I was able to use all #opensource to create this including #Blender and #Ardour
For any #avgeek who wants to review the route #PhilippineMars took on its last flight from Alameda CA to Lake Pleasant AZ, I entered into SkyVector an approximate route from the C-FLYK and N2871G tracking. Waypoints were just to estimate the spot on the map - I have no info on the crew's intended route since no flight plan was made public. It seemed they followed a combination of coastline, roads and airways. https://skyvector.com/?ll=36.584657605422414,-118.94787597280629&chart=301&zoom=9&fpl=ILATE%203751N12221W%203749N12228W%203746N12232W%203740N12231W%203712N12224W%20KOAR%20TROXX%20AVE%20GRAPE%2050CN%20XBBOX%20BUGBE%20KBNG%20AKIPE%20TRRSH%20FOILD%20DINBE%20MACIS%20TANKZ%203354N11238W%203351N11217W%203353N11217W #aviation #avgeek #pilot #mapgeek #history
Tracking report from @chris looks like the chase planes which were following #PhilippineMars turned north from Blythe CA along the Colorado River until Parker, then turned east. They're in Arizona, and Mountain Time Zone with 6pm sunset. The turn east may or may not rule out Lake Havasu. It points toward Alamo Lake. It doesn't rule out Lake Pleasant but isn't an efficient route there. But we can't assume they won't try to fake-out the crowds. https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/113982162585413427 #aviation #avgeek #pilot

Alemany and Jensen Family MastodonFlightAware stopped updating probably due to spotty radar coverage. #PhilippineMars was north of the Salton Sea following Interstate 10 eastbound toward the Arizona border. When it gets picked up again near Phoenix, we can test some people's hunches about the destination lake. If it heads north of Phoenix then that favors the theory of Lake Pleasant. South of Phoenix would mean something closer to Tucson. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/CFLYK/history/20250210/1957Z #aviation #avgeek #pilot #IFollowRoads
#PhilippineMars has crossed the big mountains in SoCal now, descending after following I-15 over Cajon Pass. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/CFLYK/history/20250210/1957Z #aviation #pilot #avgeek #IFollowRoads
Thanks to @burritojustice for posting video of #PhilippineMars flying boat takeoff from SF Bay on its way to the museum in Arizona. I laughed at one of the bystander's comments "kinda going the wrong way". Into the wind is the right way for takeoff and landing. And this one also had to make a photo pass of the Golden Gate on the way out. Then they navigate to the destination. https://mastodon.social/@burritojustice/113981445823679742 #aviation #pilot #avgeek
bitter followup:
Harry hoped to become a commercial airline #pilot after he left the #military
He was rejected because he was #Black
After helping defeat #fascism in #Europe, he came home to suffer #fascist #American #racism
Now, anti-#DEI initiatives of the #Trump admin means the #AirForce removed training courses with videos of the #TuskegeeAirmen and the #Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) of #WWII
(I heard this was reversed, but anti-DEI remains)

"Accounting for wind drift" by Chicken Wings comic - In Chuck's case, his off-the-cuff excuse of accounting for curvature of the Earth sounds like he thinks he needs to remember to stay inside the atmosphere.

"Key airport along approach to SFO to lose all air traffic controllers this week" by @sfchronicle - San Carlos Airport #KSQL will be nontowered beginning Sat Feb 1 after all tower controllers declined to switch employment to contractor that does not pay enough for SF Bay Area cost of living. SQL is 9nm/10mi/16km from #KSFO next to Runways 28L/R final approach. Pilots are trained to radio each other at nontowered airports. But SQL is very busy. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/san-mateo-airport-faa-20066006.php #aviation #pilot #avgeek
