Action begins at about 0:50, near the top of the screen. That was too close!

You gave him the information he needed, but he didn't want to hear it. I just don't get it. You have a passion for something, want to do it for the rest of your life, and have spent tens of thousands of dollars towards that dream already. BUT-- there is a process you *must* go through, or else...

Busted for what?

Just watch out for signs when you take off: http://www.kansas.com/news/state/article209733759.html

I hope you got your answer already, because there are 4 pages of jokes incoming..

It's safe.. 99.9% of the time. I think our risk tolerance has decreased, for better or worse. And lawsuits have increased. Personally, I'd rather not take that risk, especially when the vast majority of airplanes have starters.

Video of an ERAU Cessna landing:

It does get you something extra. In this case, it would have gotten him a straight-in instead of mucking around the pattern and nearly causing conflicts like he did. Declaring helps you concentrate on the issue at hand.

Unrelated to the oil issue, but I'm really confused about tower's pattern entry instruction. The aircraft takes off on runway 32, then uses a right downwind departure. At this point they're southeast of the airport several miles. They make a 180 and are heading for the runway, then tower...

Hmm.. I am not sure that throwing up large TFRs to keep drone looky-loos out is good practice in general. Besides, who was the real looky-loo on the scene in this case? A helicopter.

The emotions are certainly understandable, but isn't this the kind of attitude that makes general aviation increasingly expensive, and under attack?

Can you tell us which ND filter you got? That might help. I have just a fixed ND filter for the GoPro, and haven't even tried it in an airplane.

For hobby flights, notify the tower within 5 miles (permission not required). Altitude generally restricted to 400 feet I believe. For non-hobby (usually commercial) flights, submit an airspace authorization to FAA and wait 30-180+ days. Altitudes vary from 0-400 feet depending on distance from...

From my perspective, there are countless tragic accidents where the pilot's attitude was apparently something like, "I'll keep going.. If it gets worse I can always set it down somewhere." I don't know exactly what happens in those cases, but I'd rather not find out myself. That makes me very...

Normally I might agree. What made me hit "eject" on this one was the ceilings still lowering, and near-1-mile visibility.

Problem is.. in the moment, it can be very hard to know if it's truly your "last resort" or not. Saying "I can make it.. I'm still OK.. A little bit farther.." tends to result in very bad outcomes. Broken airplanes are no fun, but they beat broken bodies. I'm guessing the guy in this video kept...

She would have also done herself a favor by not walking directly into the path of a car. Had this not involved Uber's car, it would be a simple case of a pedestrian foolishly walking into traffic in the dark, and we'd never hear about it. It's hard to say if a human could have stopped in time...

Yes it is.. the "visual" cues will be in the form of radio communication between autonomous cars. And how do human-driven cars fit into the equation? Sorry, human, you're just too unpredictable and we can't communicate with you. You have to go. I find the edge cases interesting to think about...

Suppose that's the case. How long until the first lawsuit where it's pointed out that the defendant *deliberately* disengaged the autonomous features, knowing full well that the accident rate with him behind the wheel was 10x that of when he let the car drive itself? Would that be reckless...

Don't let me talk you out of anything :-). I'm in close to the same boat as you as far as needing storage. Hadn't heard about the issue with proxies and color correction, though. I'm leaning towards some kind of local NAS with additional offsite cloud storage. Amazon Cloud Drive had a killer...
