Sometimes they can be a little too aggressive. ;)

They say they’ve got the VRS issue solved but all they did was restrict the aggressiveness of the approach. Same issue with recirculation on formation and shipboard landings. Must be in a strict profile to remain clear of dirty air. That stuff isn’t nearly as bad for a helicopter.

Mouse in the avionics compartment. Fishing line wrapped around the tail rotor.

Boeing test pilot has got this thing dialed in. Never seen an F-15 move like this before.

Alpharetta, home of of the roundabouts. I’ll be the devil’s advocate here and recommend Cherokee County airport. No air traffic and far less ground traffic when coming into Alpharetta from the north.

Because the single motor matches the range estimate from 2019 and the dual motor actually exceeds the original estimate. When it’s all said and done, it’s pretty much a wash.

Still don’t get the DeLorean comparison. Only similarity is stainless steel and huge panel gaps. :D

Like stated above, it’s most likely laid out in the GOM or policies in a read & initial file…if they have one. It’s typical stuff though. ForeFlight planning, W&B computer program, company risk assessment, approved NWS product, etc. I don’t file because I’m VFR but I believe they’re using FF...

Specs are pretty much aligned with the unveiling. Tri motor is a significant drop in range from 500 to 320 though. Price was the biggest difference. Over 50 % increase. Knew that was gonna happen.

Well it’s only been 4 years and a $20K increase in price. Who’s gotten their delivery here? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/30/business/tesla-cybertruck-delivery-release.html

Flew a real hands on helicopter today. No iPads here. First piston I’ve ever flown too.

Yeah I knew several guys who went KWs thinking they’d get a Comanche transition. Years later they would be scrambling for flying jobs when the Army divested their KWs…way too early.

Should’ve gone with the Defiant. ;) https://breakingdefense.com/2021/04/fvl-dont-pick-the-tiltrotor-v-22-test-pilot-tells-army/

And on top of having SAASM, we had Doppler nav backup if the GPS should become unreliable. https://www.baesystems.com/en-media/uploadFile/20210404064438/1434657336105.pdf

Your mission can still be aerobatics with a PA28. :oops:

ACY is Atlantic Approach? 7K is pretty low. Might as well call themselves an arrival facility.

Unless there’s a McGuire or Atlantic City controller on POA, no way of really knowing the reason. Logical reasons for talking to a controller one day but not another, is if the facility was closed. Perhaps holiday hours for McGuire. Also a chance your route didn’t go deep enough into...

@hindsight2020 has a nice Arrow he could sell ya. Only needs some minor engine work. ;)

Yeah it’s been like 10 years that they’ve been advertising it. HBO dropped it then COVID hit.

Bunch of heat tiles came off during the launch. Gotta be an incredible amount of vibration.
