What about when the programing is machine learning, not hand coded, like Tesla's FSD v12?

To be fair, it was the F/O that messed up that approach. The Captain took over and made the mistake of trying to salvage the landing. She should have taken over and gone around. Same thing for this current incident. The mistake was likely that they didn't go-around when the localizer...

That's not how a computer works. It has no morals. The autonomous car will attempt to avoid hitting everything. If you're ever in Nashville, look me up. We'll go for an autonomous drive.

If Tesla Energy has a two-year waiting list then the demand for such megapacks must be strong. Hence the need for the factor in your area.

Who has that business model? Why would anyone sign up for that? The proposals I've heard would have the utility paying a monthly credit to anyone who makes a percentage of their home batteries, or EV batteries, capacity available to the grid. The owner still gets to choose how much they'll...

Last I saw, some months ago, was the Tesla Energy's wait list for Megapacks (grid-level backup) was two years. Hawaii recently put a Megapack site online and it replaces a peeker-plant. They also have a lot of solar and wind generation which is much more useful with the grid backup. They...

They have to keep up with changes, such as construction, or the cars will get stuck. That's why they operate in such limited, geofenced areas. They have to have the hi-def data, including changes. That's how they got to Level 4 autonomy. Tesla's approach is very different. Their goal is...

I believe that they do. They also have live tech support which the passenger can call (through the car's systems) or when the car reports that it is stuck. They'll dispatch a rescue crew to get the car un-stuck. If it can't, they'd geofence the cars away from such areas. The Waymo system is...

Here's a simple RADON meter on Amazon for $169.00. I've had it running for the past two years. https://www.amazon.com/Corentium-Detector-Airthings-223-Lightweight/dp/B00H2VOSP8/ref=sr_1_1_sspa

I'm curious why Republic couldn't fly the approach at RVR3500. Visibility minimums are RVR 2400 with Flight Director, which they have, to DA. Also, autopilot coupled approaches are not authorized on this approach.

I have the electronic tester, ~$130? I was running around 1.30 to 1.35. I had the crawlspace encapsulated, for other reasons, and my readings jumped up to 5+ with peaks over 7. The crawlspace was previously vented but the encapsulation sealed it. Had the remediation system added for about...

What common threads do you see tying the incidents together?

The FAA rule is the same for all pilots. Many (most?) US airlines require 12 hours. Scotland has its own rules. US pilots departing Scotland have to comply with all three.

Have you tried For All Mankind, Silo, Foundation, Greyhound, Defending Jacob, or Hello Tomorrow!?

Delta's pilot pension plan was terminated in bankruptcy and handed over to the PBGC 17 years ago. Whatever benefits he had vested by that time, up to the PBGC limits, will continue to be available. Most US airlines terminated or froze their pensions in that time period. They were replaced...

Did they mention that he was about to fly a Boeing, too?

Everything is Class G, unless it is something else. Don't look for Class G, look for Class E, D, C, and B. If it isn't any of those, it's G.

That's a great use for an electronic E6B. Taking the written, too, because the precision can help you choose between the FAA's answers. I switched from the E6B to the CR-5 in the late 1980s. Fits in a shirt pocket and has additional capabilities that most E6Bs don't. i.e. Compressibility for...

Yes. Formatted differently, single column, but that's exactly the idea. I didn't certify it, like you do, just a date for when each requirement was logged or completed. It was not meant to be an official part of the training log. Just a tool for me, to ensure no requirement was missed, and...

Can you fly as precisely as your electronic E6B can calculate?
