The nice thing about the certification is it only applies to commercial sUAS operation. Hobbyists don't need to worry about Part 107.

Are you required to register your model airplane? SIG Kadet Senior would be about 6 lbs if I am thinking about it right

Yes, but the rule is dumb. You register here: https://registermyuas.faa.gov/ You get a registration number, and your registration number is transferrable between any aircraft you fly. It's really registering yourself, so that if you smack your drone into a kid the FAA can figure out who is responsible. Registration costs $5.

You gotta be thirteen to be the remote pilot in charge, so I think you need to have an adult on a buddy box. Either that, or maybe you just have to have an adult nearby making sure you don't fly your Super Cub into a 747. Consult your lawyer / your local AMA field's rules.

Sorry, it's Remote Pilot In Command. My bad.quote:For the reasons discussed below, this rule will remove the proposed crewmember https://www.faa.gov/uas/media/RIN_2120-AJ60_Clean_Signed.pdf page 94 if you want a lot of dry discussion about why they chose "Remote Pilot In Command".

drat, there's something I want to share about P&W and Airbus, but I can't find any news of it on the internet, so it's probably internal information still. But you won't find any A320neo's in the air for the rest of this month.

So while I know this thread has to do with *real* planes, pretty much the only good thing in the Independence Day sequel were the strategic bombers. They looked like a cross between the jet in 'Firefox' and a fixed-wing B-1B. Hint: They're the ones that don't look like Lockmart's wet dream for the F/A-221 Super Flanker Strike Raptor. EDIT: A closer look:

Technically a T-38, but close enough, especially since it was in the pattern between B-52s; that's not cropped at 300mm, this is also uncropped at 120mm, same position/distance from me:  For scale, the T-38/F-5's wingspan is about as wide as one of the BUFF's horizontal stabs. An F-15 (which is pretty big for a fighter)'s wingspan is ten feet less than the B-52's tailspan.

The B-52's wingspan is also longer than the Wright Brothers' first flight.

If I could own any airplane, I think it would be a T-38/F-5. If they are good enough for the astronauts they're good enough for me. Something something fuel range something something.

Comparisonchat: The #2 engine nacelle on a DC-10 is remarkably similar in dimensions to the fuselage of a DC-3.

With plans to use the engine in other jet designs. I think he's got traction. I think we'll at ~least~ see a prototype airframe, if not a demo at oshkosh one of these years.

The presidential TFR would shut them both down equally either way. Scheduled air carriers still get allowances to move around when the Pres isn't in the immediate process of arriving or leaving. EDIT, Oh, I thought you said something about shutting the field down. Either an edit or I misread. Ignore me.

Is there a place where you can pay for seat time in a true simulator? I would absolutely love to try a 737 sim or something along those lines and would pay for the opportunity (within reason of course).

They don't list prices, though. I know they have a location across the street from KMIA, and others elsewhere in the country.

Qantas allows you to trade a non-trivial amount of frequent flyer points for time in one of their 747 simulators, shared with another person. Many many years ago, I was lucky enough to fly a Cathay Pacific 747-200 simulator via the same arrangement, but I don't know if they still do this. Edit: You can purchase the Qantas simulator experience for AUD$1,499. A bit steep, but also very cool. Smirk fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Delta’s museum in Atlanta has a 737 sim. quote:Simulator guests will receive a 10- minute pre-flight briefing, 45 minutes of flight time and a 5-minute review at the end of the experience.
