300 kts x 1.15 = 345 mph Root cause is always planning, if they really needed that run-in heading they probably should’ve had a 1m ground stop at DCA. Pure speculation and conjecture.

Have some recency dealing with FAA entities and developing (negotiating) routes to get through busy Class B. I asked if they have some fancy 3D visualization systems to show all the arrivals and departures so we could thread the needle better. I’m sure you know the answer, it’s pencils and a map.

This had me wondering if it’s a misdemeanor or felony. Could be either in Florida and varies state to state. Wild that it can be a misdemeanor because I’d think that any employer would see this as the reddest of flags and would want nothing to do with them. I’d rather work with a bank robber than a person that drowns a dog for airport convenience.

This stuff gets to me. The absolute tragedy of being the last badass in the previous technology. The last spearman. The last archer. The last horseman. The last swordsman. It’ll be a while until the last pilot, unless the FPV kids get us at step.

43% of anything is pretty low in any airplane

69% of this forum is people talking to themselves on different accounts.

Strategic tankers, nice. Deleting 59x KC-10s that could carry 340k lbs of fuel or 27 pallets was the #1 dumbest lack-of-foresight move the Air Force has ever made. Everyone knew it at the time and everyone knows it now, but the USAF is too proud and stupid to reverse a decision. Who to blame? Weak-kneed careerist staffers at HAF/A5 and A8 that told GOs that told Boeing what they wanted to hear. Every AMC/CC since Johns and every CSAF since Schwartz. It doesn’t matter if you have 7G with APG-690s and telephone poles if you can only get 2-ships there.

Well I guess it’s a good thing that Kanye wasn’t in the running for any cabinet positions

Boeing stock down 50% since he became Director, Americas Sales.

Are you guys saying that not every mil pilot has access to ForeFlight on an iPad connected to a Stratus with global FLIP and ADS-B traffic and weather? Not being sarcastic, this has been the standard for 10 years in some places, can’t believe it’s not ubiquitous.

Since the speculation ice has been broken, seems like there’s a serious problem having a published heli route that crosses the 3D visual glide path for 33. Normal 3.0° PAPIs will put you at 200’/.66NM which crosses Route 4 at exactly the max alt.

In 2025 it’s unacceptable that we rely on a pilot moving at 100-200 kts to visually acquire another 100-200 kt airborne target based on a 3rd-party visobs talk-on at a third location with no common reference point - in Class B, at night - to ensure flight safety. These are multi-million dollar vehicles and buildings that can’t get a common datalink picture on a screen. Lots of root causes for lots of problems with equipment, certification, training, manning, etc. Every child playing iPad games has more computing and display power than a lot of aircraft that are allowed in Class B.

Agree, and we’ll see tomorrow morning how quickly they’ll remove references to DEI

Lol dude have you looked at the right wing internet trolls lately? Overcompensation is the theme.

I’ll take the under. Cabinet level. Side bet on Trump saying “I never liked the guy” within a month after
