    He, I got to ride in one of those once from a buddy at the same airport. Slurp.

    It's a lovely night on the prairie...

    Shades of sales past. I sold the place in Conifer that June and I had built a pretty nice enclosed tree house in the back between a few pines. The new buyers had four kids and I told them I had to knock the tree house down. That didn't sit well but I told them it was not a code structure, and I...

    Mode C question

    Thank you, I stand corrected. Do you get primary return with any altitude info at all?

    Raptor Aircraft

    Something in the back of my mind just clicked after watching the model flight vids. It was a long time ago, but there was something from the Rutan design about dutch roll and the canard blanking the inner part of the main wing at higher AoA. At first, the Vari-eze was supposed to have a mixer...

    Flying over the Sierra Nevada Mts

    They've ceased operations. The domain is for sale.

    Mode C question

    I believe that is another valid example. If they are getting a mode C return, but are not talking to that traffic, it could be reported as unverified. the azimuth primary return is even less verified. :D

    Mode C question

    Just an FYI, not all class D airports are equipped with mode C interrogating equipment, and mode C is not actually required in class D airspace, providing the class D airport does not underlie a mode C area. An example would be Chino. Class D airspace there, however mode C is not required to...

    Is it possible to have a discussion using only questions?

    You're not Jewish, are you?

    Mode C question

    The radar service for the mode C area doesn't like it(typically approach/departure). Your lat and long location are determined by your mode A from the TXP but the altitude is determined from the azimuth reflection of the radar(s) in use. Some are better than others. You will be reported as...

    Bank 'Fraud Detection' and Flying

    Whatev. I don't think you understand the way MC/Visa/AMEX work. http://www.ijser.org/researchpaper/Fraud-Detection-of-Credit-Card-Payment-System-by-Genetic-Algorithm.pdf Buh-bye <edit; Doubt you know what a Genetic algorithm is, so I'll make it easy for you. It means 'heuristic' which...

    Did you read the part about the algorithm learning? Or, did you just ignore that part like another poster?

    I didn't say, or imply that it was. I said that was the only thing I know about it, and that they don't share info about it.

    It's a lovely night on the prairie...

    I was living in Conifer for the great fall blizzard of 97. I saw something that night I'll never see again. The road crews were out all night, up in the hills they use road graders with chains on all six wheels. The have a constant 'beep, beep, beep' so you know when they are around. About 2am I...

    they towed a plane into our plane on the ramp.

    Gak, don't want to slow it down that much. :wink2:

    Bank 'Fraud Detection' and Flying

    Yup, me too. There's a predictive algorithm that the CC companies don't share, and I'm guessing they are all a bit different. The algorithm also learns a bit so if you keep travelling it'll get better about predicting your purchase profile. The only thing I know about the algorithm is that...

    New AC-130 Ghostrider A Total Loss After Departing Controlled Flight

    I'm not going to elaborate even though very few people fly canard planes. Just - be careful what you wish for. If you are 'successful' the outcome may not be to your liking. I commend you for exploring the flight envelope of your plane, but at some point you need to stop and decide that there is...

    New AC-130 Ghostrider A Total Loss After Departing Controlled Flight

    This is part of how one spins a Vari-eze. Yes, I have done it, and it's rather messy. My advice is to follow their advice and don't slip a canard type plane. Or, if you do want to do it, have a lot of altitude and a parachute as a backup.

    I've dropped my Bo off at US Av this morning. I need major damage done on the V tail, and hoping they can back into it sometime later this week. <insert emoticon of your choice here>
