    Nov. 19, 2020: Cirrus lands vertically w/ no injuries

    Gotcha... I agree. He was the PIC for a reason and whatever it takes to ensure a safe outcome is fair game. Does not exclude one from craking a joke, however. :p

    Nov. 19, 2020: Cirrus lands vertically w/ no injuries

    Perhaps you read too deeply into my post. Nowhere did I say anything about “real man and competent pilot” nor did I even mention insurance, let alone "Totaled".

    Danish study shows no significant reduction of Covid-19 in wearers of surgical masks

    Do you even math, dude? Would love to see the equation showing one number "5 times lower" than another number.

    Flight service

    :yeahthat: ATC ≠ FSS & FSS ≠ ATC Whereas they may share some functions, their purposes are entirely different. With the advent of the "Connected Cockpit" the utility of FSS may seem to have diminished over the years, but they still have their purpose and are (typically) there when you need...

    NTSB Accident search

    One justification may be that they consolidated all of the NTSB reports into a single database. You want to search Aviation, Highway, Maritime, Railroad, Pipeline, or Hazmat? All in a single search from a single page.

    The number of voice-capable VORs seems to have decreased significantly over the years. Had to search for a bit to find one. If the freq listed on the sectional for the VOR is underlined, it is not a voice-capable VOR. With this one you talk and listen to "Columbus Radio" on 122.3. Here...

    NTSB Accident search

    To be honest, the vast majority of the searches I did with the old interface were based upon one or two search criteria (typlically date and city, or make and model). This new interface still allows the same criteria, it just does not make it nearly as easy to enter that criteria. If you drill...

    Guidance for examiner to determine maneuvers on ACS

    Ahhh.. My mistake. Yah... For an initial, you fall back to "The evaluator must assess the applicant on all skill elements for each Task included in each Area of Operation of the ACS, unless otherwise noted." In other words, all of them... Except where noted in the Task.
