Nowadays, bullies and victims are treated the same. If you punch the bully, you're suspended as well (because "violence never solved anything....") We raise kids to be unable to deal with bullies. They can't deal with the problem kids, and the schools won't. So what does the kid do then...

And no statute numbers, etc etc. Plus parking laws don't apply to aircraft (it's not a vehicle for the purpose of the motor vehicle code). I'll wager the conversation between the cop and the flight crew included the words "Betcha won't...."

It's a joke. The Boulder County SO would take a bullet for those guys. As we speak, there's a Blackhawk on hot standby for response to 911 calls in cutoff towns. Also, don't confuse Boulder County (conservative) with Boulder city (Berkley by the mountains). The ticket was for parking...

One issue with ELT studies is that an ELT failure on a non-survivable crash is irrelevant. The ELT is not designed to be a black box and survive tremendous impacts. What matters is the success/failure rate of ELTs in survivable crashes. Also, you can't engineer out everything. If the...

After 25 years in EMS and police work, I always wondered why the voices in peoples' heads never said "Take a shower."

50fps for aircraft certified on or after August 1969, 30fps prior.

There's nothing new under the sun.

You beat me to it. I was going to say when one guy had a rock, and another guy had two rocks.

Sorry, that's Va (which is not marked on the airspeed indictor), and there's a significant difference in terms of speed (in my bird, Vno is 140mph, Va is 129 at gross and goes down from there). From AOPA's airspeed course, Vno is: 30fps is not much of a gust factor. I'll stay out of the...

You do know Navy Pilots navigate ships, and Naval Aviators fly aircraft, right?

This. I've worn coveralls over nice clothes when I need to make sure business clothes are still clean when I get there.

Me as well. My ticket is in jeopardy for my actions from engine start to engine stop. So that's what I record. I know, movement to end of movement. But the plane moves when the engine starts (just not longitudinally).

"FEMA" is a catchall term. Airspace is being managed via local Air Operations Branch Directors at the area Incident Management Team, who are coordinating through the joint Federal/State Emergency Operations Center, with the Air Ops Branch coordinating with on-site DOT and FAA coordinators...

Unable. Working 0800-2000 every day UFN.

Meh. It's a billboard. Make the plane look like a character in Planes, then I'll get happy.

More right rudder! There was serious yawing going on there. It's usually EASIER to keep the ball in the center when in a car :)

This is kinda like Katrina, in that the places that are hit worst, people can't get into yet. Once the water goes down, people will get an understanding of just how bad this flooding event has been. Interstate 25 has never been washed over, now it's washed over in TWO locations. I'm...
