Have you ever had to change the details of your EAPIS declaration after you submitted it? Do you just call similar to making a change to a flight plan?
If you need to change the EAPIS declaration, you will need to file a new one to replace the old one. You would call the customs office to alert them to the updated EAPIS. To cancel your arrival in USA, again you would just call the customs office there and tell them you aren't coming. You can't "cancel" the original EAPIS, and you don't need to.
US Naval Flight Training (USMC aviator back in the day, actually) Spins in IMC, as well as aerobatics and basic fighter maneuvers all under the hood. Nothing special in single seat tacair, simply standards to be met and exceeded.
Full IMC spin? Holy shit! I probably shouldn't mention the fact that my primary instructor introduced me to a spin on my third flight. On my second solo I did a spin over the family farm, then dive-bombed the back-40 while mom got a picture. Once I got my Commercial I took up banner towing (childhood dream job) and retired doing that. Never used an autopilot throughout my entire career.
Beautiful video as always. Watching this before the main channel video but im sure that will be just as beautiful. I hope Roan is doing as good as he can right now. Hearing the news was sad enough and i don't even know them. They lived a good life and that's what matters. Roan seems truly happy in the plane, so many feelings just seeing fly the thing. This is why i love aviation; this feeling even just seeing the plans fly, as im not a pilot myself. Got to fly one short flight around the pattern 2 times in a ga plane and now every time i see one even on video all the feelings just come back... i swear i close my eyes and i relive the moments just like if it was happening now. After this i spent a few days just crying out of disbelief that i was fortunate enough to do this and the fact that i was just sure that aviation was for me -even not as a pilot- these were moments of realisation... and here i am almost 1 year later my biggest goal is to finish uni - and i hate philosophy btw- and become a flight attendant. So far completed a big step towards that by sitting my proficiency exams in english -hopefully I've passed, im from Greece- and i got my drivers license this past August. Sorry for the long comment there, i hope it's not too tiring for you 😂
Awesome presentation. I have been flying for 20 years in California and never needed to dig too deep into the weather. Now I live in Ottawa and was disappointed with the Canadian aviation weather tools and even worse since the US cut off all services at the boarder. This windy app is just what I needed. Thx for the 101 session.
This was great! I've been a fan of windy for XC planning for a while now. To the point where people ask me frequently to show them how I use it. Now I can just send this to them. Also, FYI at 35:50 LIFR is not Light IFR, it's Low IFR. In the ranking of airport conditions it's the worst: VFR: Ceilings >3000 and vis >5 miles MVFR: Ceilings 1000-3000 and/or vis 3-5 miles IFR: Ceilings 500-1000 and/or vis 1-3 miles LIFR: Ceilings <500 and/or vis <1 mile Also at 45:59 you can just click in the middle of a route and it will add a new waypoint that you can then drag where you need to.
We’re eyes outside as much as we can be. Having a discussion while flying does not negate situational awareness. That said, there are times you have to look down to write an IFR clearance on your knee board. Regardless, going 160+ MPH, even when looking outside, a bird strike is hard to avoid. Luckily they are rare.
There are quite a few problems in computer science where it's much easier to check whether or not a given answer is correct than it is to find the correct answer. In fact, that happens amazingly often. Thus, the algorithm for a quantum computer goes "Step 1: Choose an answer at random, using a quantum process. Step 2: Check if the answer is correct or not. Step 3: If the answer is wrong, destroy the universe." Boom, that guarantees that the random function will always generate the correct answer 100% of the time. The implementation of Step 3 is left as an exercise for the reader.
I'm surprised that she didn't point out that some infinities are larger or smaller than others. During the lifespan of the universe, there are an infinite number of branches. During your own lifetime, there are an infinite number of branches. Between seconds, between milliseconds, between yoctoseconds, there are infinite branches.
Hi Steve, I think I remember commenting on a previous video (possibly a social media post) about radio issues. I remember a few years back when I was flying a T67M Firefly that I had a share in ended up with radio static issues. I had been flying for a while and on the way back I did my usual request for airfield information radio call and just got a jet of static back into my headset. It turns out it was the tail strobe causing the issue. After landing it was deduced that an inductive coil in the strobes driver had started to break down and that had caused the static issue. Keep the nerdy content coming, I'm really enjoying these. Mel
Great episode, Steve! As a pilot who became a HAM radio amateur recently, I would have loved seeing more about the probe circuit, but I thick for "just pilots" or general enthusiasts it was pretty good! Anyway, keep it going and greetings from Germany! Ah and BTW, should you be around northern Germany one time, you are welcome to be my guest! My dog Hugo and I fly a 1948 Luscombe 8 all over Europe are currently in the planning to do a trip to South Africa and back with it. Florian
Yaaaay "Stay Nerdy". Works well I think. Really interesting look at props, it's incredible the amount of work that goes in to them. I am looking forward to this channels future content, as a fellow nerd and engineer it interests me greatly.
I loved watching this the first time. I wish you would have done an overlay with Dave and your friend . I think he could have given you some color on how some of fun toys they are using to do some of the measurements. On a more interesting note harmonics in engineering is really big deal. One of the greatest examples in structural engineering fails ever is Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse "Gallopin' Gertie". Harmonics literally collapsed the bridge.
Right on thanks for the support over on Patreon Gavin. I figured this one was worth sharing here - but yes, we'll be doing more of the "live conversation with the pilot nerds" videos on this channel. There are also several videos like this one that are super nerdy and worth sharing (from the nearly 100 now) Patreon Exclusive back catalogue so they get a bit of a second life.
Excellent analysis of the two incidents. The effect of actual high oil temperature on cylinder head temperatures being essentially nil was especially revealing. As a former flight test engineer (1980s), I am amazed at the data collection capability, instrumentation, navigation and flight planning tools available today for light airplanes. Thanks for all you do for GA.
"So until next time stay nerdy" would be a good outro. Great deep dive, more like this, be it deep dives into problems, mistakes made or just tech talks on the features of some aircraft. It's nice to learn things, I learned something recently about the fuel tank location in the Jodel I have a share in, which explained a lot when it came to CoG and handling.
Thanks for sharing! My only question is--what's the video/link in the end card? For me, it's a grayed out box that reads "this video is unavailable" at the time I'm posting this comment
I think I had it set to "best for viewer" which means it picks an other video on the channel that it thinks you'd like... but this is the only video so far... so I guess I need to change that :P
