    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    The second company I worked for as a software engineer (don't snort, it was the job title) was a small partnership that consulted to the company the two principals had left. One day one of them was sitting at his desk in the corner looking at code listings. He started muttering to himself: "This...

    Copy and paste is the most common type of code reuse. Just sayin’

    Security cameras

    To access them from outside your wifi (meaning from the internet), they need to upload the video, probably via a 3rd party server (aka the manufacturers website). So download speeds are meaningless. What are your upload speeds? Also, the manufacturer should have a FAQ somewhere that explains...

    Night Currency

    I keep a couple of LED keyring lights on a lanyard around my neck. The lanyard has a breakaway connection in the back so if I got hung up on something it'll come apart. I also keep a red/white choosable headlamp close. The last night flight I did was Jan 31st. The C-172 I flew then has a glass...

    Spirit Stops Hiring

    I don't care for Spirit nor Frontier. The Frontier thing that gets me is everything is ala carte from carry on to checked to refreshments etc. And the price goes up the closer to flight time you are. My wife, daughter and I flew to Philadelphia on Frontier a few years ago. Cheap fare. Until my...

    Spirit Stops Hiring

    Proving only that price is the most important variable to many, many people.

    Does the >150NM Solo Cross Country require 3 landings at controlled airfields? Is my CFI wrong??

    I'm based out of Sanford Florida (KSFB). I rounded up and instructor and we flew to St. Simons Island (KSSI) landing shortly before dark. Day handled. We had dinner and then dawdled around a short bit to be 1 hour after sundown, flew home. Night x-country knocked out. Made sure to refrence the...

    Yes, that's what I meant and should have clarified.

    Does the >150NM Solo Cross Country require 3 landings at controlled airfields? Is my CFI wrong??

    The regs do not require controlled vs uncontrolled nor do they require signatures. But all of your solos must be signed off by your CFI so seems like a moot point.

    Thoughts on accelerated Instrument training

    I made 4 runs at IR. I ran out of money twice. The next to last time I got signed off for the Checkride and the airplane broke before I could do it. Finally my wife said “Go to an intensive and get it done!” So I signed up with CRAFT out of Charleston, SC. My written (2nd, first expired) was...

    What attributes do you think new MOSAIC compliant LSA aircraft should have to return General Aviation to 10,000 aircraft sales per year?

    The actual answer to having 10,000 planes sold in a year is to dump several tens of thousands of already trained military pilots into the general population. And price them about 2x a decent new car.
