Rumours starting to circulate that the 320s are being grounded until a software update. EasyJet have sent out internal comms, nothing at BA. Wizz reporting flight cancellations. All eyes on the FAA/CAA.

Musk and others have spoken about this. Data centers in space, powered continuously by solar power and no issues with cooling in space. With Starships huge payload capacity, perhaps feasible. Better than using a predigious ampount of power that has to be generated on Earth.

Does this article sound true? This Teacher Said That Students "Can't Do Basic Things Anymore," And Surprisingly, LOTS Of Teachers Agree My favorite quote is at the end of comment #8: "When parents tell their kids they can be anything they want, while also saying they cannot handle a five-minute passing period or use a locker, it is a wild, contradictory stance. They are raising a generation of 35-year-old basement dwellers."

Hi: I've been flying since 2020 but with 2024, many things broke. I need to work with an expert to help me configure both versions, using AddonLinker and other software. I need you: - To live and breathe this stuff. Know the software in and out, including how to download user content and integrate it into the game. - Be able to work via Zoom. - To communicate well. I can pay $40/hour. Thank you. ps: I've never posted before; I hope this doesn't violate any protocols.

Hello everyone, I have a couple of questions: 1. Based on the chart in the image, is this type of procedure (Visual RNP) valid for making approaches when flying VFR? 2. Assuming so; if my flight path is the purple arrow, can I fly directly to the point shown by the purple arrow (BO415), or must I enter via AMVES (red arrow)?

I wonder how they thought they could keep this a secret after carrying it out? Why not instead plan some other illegal scheme with a reasonable chance of success?

Are there any real world grey beards with DC3/C47 experience who can tell me if the three has a tendency to nose over or the tail wheel to jump up if hitting the brakes too hard during landing roll or taxi speed? There is an addon in XPlane that will do just that long after the tail wheel has settled. I think this is a bit over done but would appreciate hearing from anyone who has ever had experience with the Gooney. I can't imagine a weighty transport would ground handle like a Cub. Or what about a tendency to ground loop at taxi speed? I know there is not many still around who can answer this authoritatively but I thought I would throw out a feeler.
