    Nuclear Stress Test

    It's been said here many times, but I'll repeat it. Take care of your health - mild chest pains and shortness of breath combined with family history could shorten much more than your flying career. Beyond that, the visit will need to be reported and thus any adverse diagnosis. Some diagnosis...

    Flying Rc in the traffic pattern

    Indeed, FAA's UAV rulemaking is inclusive of RC. Release of the rules has been delayed several times. One possible outcome is join AMA, fly at sanctioned and insured RC fields, and follow AMAs rules or follow these more restrictive FAA rules. I just hope these new technologies and the FAA's...

    If you were promised a series of monthly payment at a particular rate of interest rate, however you received a different set of payments the calculation would be FV of Promised Payments - Sum of received payments = Wind/(Short) fall So you don't need to discount the received payments if...

    Suppose there is a stream of 12 monthly payments of $100 at 6% interest. Present Value - you will receive this stream and want to know what it is worth now. Since you receive a total of $1200 ($100 each month) and expect to earn 6% you need to pay less than $1200 to own that stream. In this...

    Or add a column of integers as your first column, so it goes 1,2,3,4,5 etc. Then column C becomes = B1 / power(1+(.06/24), A1) Where B1 is the payment and A1 is the month number (i.e 1,2,3,4) Then sum column C

    C172 versus Volvo SUV @ Northwest Regional

    C172 versus Volvo SUV @ Northwest Regional

    There is no doubt the SUV should not have been there. There is no doubt the aircraft was ~4ft agl 20 feet before the beginning of a 400ft displaced threshold. Only the student knows if he planned to add a bit of power and drag it to the threshold and/or the flap setting was intentional. Easy...
