Not yet. MQ-9B may change that since it no longer needs chase aircraft.

That's been an issue for years, they're already facing those issues. My brother, a USAF Reaper pilot currently on staff tour in EUCOM, said it this way, "killing someone and then going and picking up your kid from school causes issues for some people."

Sort of, but that only works if the antennas are pointed somewhere they can receive the signal. Really it's more that in normal flight modes, the flight control computers keep it from exceeding the flight envelope limits. To go beyond those typically requires a system failure of some kind.

Awareness, a lot. Actual spin training, none. There are procedures for if you get into an inadvertent spin but it's almost certainly a written-off aircraft at that point.

Something about wrestling pigs comes to mind.

:cryin:

According to the news on their website, that's in the works as of January, and as of last week they're working with Piper on an STC for Seminoles.

It's not just Garmin Pilot, Aviator Assistant and FltPlan Go both do as well. If you go to Skyvector you can see those blanks are where there are insets or gaps between charts.

Damn that's quite the collection they have. Will have to keep this in mind next time I'm out that way.

I'm sure they can copy it just fine if you don't look close enough. You fly behind it, I'll stick to something trusted.

Yes? So? There's a lot of crap people hang off the front of planes I wouldn't fly behind. I am extremely confident saying this would never meet the requirements for certified aircraft.

Yup, and comparing this to their numbers should be all the evidence needed as to why it will never happen. Until someone tears one of these down and shows me it's within tolerances and equivalent metallurgy of an actual Rotax I will never trust one. Put a Chinese clone engine on a lawnmower...

You don't, you buy another engine :lol:

No thanks.

Nice kart and autocross track :D

I always assumed it was lack of effort on Cessna's part.

Kitty or catty or caddy, sure, I'm good with those. Kiddie corner is a new one :biggrin:

Wut?

Why would peer pressure do anything for a pilot clearly so willing to repeatedly flaunt the regulations? Make the phone call and skip the waste of time of a confrontation. ETA: quoted the wrong person

I flew with @Tools in that one once and had a pretty good time in it, I was really impressed with the avionics and handling. Definitely some quirks to it, and adjustment of the pedals left a lot to be desired. I can see why it might be a bridge too far for flight schools.
