    FAA dropping detail from charts

    Part of my job is to read and edit copy before it goes public to make sure it's as clear as possible to those reading it, and conveys exactly the information we want to convey. I now doubt the FAA has such a position.

    FAA dropping detail from charts

    I get that once you've been there you're set, but lat/long is a worse option than clicking on a map.... hope you put the numbers in right, or the person didn't give you a couple number dyslexia-d. Not too worried about paper charts, this means the chart depictions are going away on the...

    FAA dropping detail from charts

    Just when I think the FAA couldn't do anything any dumber, they come up with something else. Emergency and knowledge necessities aside, say my buddy has a private field I've never been to before and he invites me over. How am I supposed to find it now? Can I still search for it on Foreflight...

    Fastest planes on the least amount of HP

    I know what you might be thinking, "This guy is asking about efficiency", and I suppose I am, but I'm not curious about MPG. MPG conversations always end up with Gliders or PPG's, and that's not what I'm after. I'm more curious if anyone knows the fastest aircraft that have <80hp, <100hp...

    Mathematics in aircraft design

    Thank you for this. Unfortunately the closest EAA Chapter to me is a couple hours away, but I suppose it's worth reaching out all the same. Most of my life, in most things, I've struggled with "analysis paralysis". I'm definitely aware of it, and I can see myself reading books, ordering...

    Mathematics in aircraft design

    Thank you for the response! That's actually great to hear. I'm not quite up to snuff on some of these things, but nothing you've mentioned is completely foreign and there are quite a few places I can get a refresher online before I get going. I'm not familiar with TOWS... ? These look like...

    Mathematics in aircraft design

    I was going through this thread from the beginning, and saw this video. Funny enough, this plane is for sale again on Barnstormers... https://www.barnstormers.com/classified-1503532-Wittman-Tailwind-W10.html Not mine or anything, but I've recently caught the Tailwind bug, as it seems a lot...
