I think I speak for everyone in this thread when I say that if they let you into the simulator, you hand‐fly the thing first, and only after we find how that ends is it time to use the autopilot and the radios.

I have 8 hours instruction in a tecnam, hundreds of hours in msfs 2004 and sat in the right hand seat for many hours while my friend built hour's to become a commercial pilot. I was reckon I could get a 737 down probably

It’s trivial to bring one down. It’ll do that on its own given enough time. Surviving this on the other hand…

Out of curiosity, how does a pilot learn about the existence of restricted air spaces for events? what are the procedures that you're supposed to follow to make sure that you don't wander into Oopsie territory?

Potato Salad posted:Out of curiosity, how does a pilot learn about the existence of restricted air spaces for events? You check the NOTAMs for your intended flight path. Sites like SkyVector plot them graphically. Here I have plotted a flight from GYR to DVT. It crosses right through a TFR (temporary flight restriction) for a football game. It says that it goes from the surface to 3000 AGL and it has the hours that it will be active. (SkyVector shows approaching ones in orange and active ones in red).  Instead of SkyVector, you can also call up a briefing service and they will tell you about the TFRs etc along your flight path. Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Oct 20, 2022 |

You know how I’m G Gundam they had a series of LEO satellites that would use lasers to make a sort of fence/wrestling ring ropes? It’s actually the same idea using balloons.

They would have tried to contact him on any local frequencies he may have been tuned into (local towers, CTAFs, TRACONs, centers) and also on the emergency frequency of 121.5. So he wasn't listening to any of those. He may have had his radio turned down, yeah, or was tuned to some random other frequency so he didn't have to listen to anyone. I don't know how you would miss an F-15 buzzing you with its afterburners lit dropping flares, let alone three times in a row. Maybe he had the autopilot on and was playing with his phone. e: an example of the head butt maneuver they are describing is at 0:35. You'd have to be blind not to notice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUbWneaIonY&t=33s Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 20:31 on Oct 20, 2022 |

He was probably writing up a draft for a letter he'll be sending to the local air force base about how their training exercises are incredibly dangerous and almost hit his plane.

But again, no context It doesn't look that close in the YouTube video, but if you were just out for a buzz around and the F-16 was another random guy in a Cessna, you'd be calling him a dangerous maniac. Distances are closed quickly in the air, and it's not like you can just hit the brakes when someone cuts in front of you. That maneuver would be quite startling, even without the flares and the gruff warning on guard. Also worth noting that the F-16 in that video is just aiming to get the pilot's attention, not knock him out of the sky. Here's a headbutt performed specifically to gently caress with another plane. Watch to the very end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGL5shiPGCQ

But again, no context Some of those are going to be a lot more exciting IRL. That clip of 2 planes flying into the flight path of plane being head butted? They're doing that to create massive turbulence. I've heard it's one of the most aggressive headbutts. They toned it down for the demonstration. A single jet's wake would probably be adequate against a small plane.

So in Ukraine, something like 1/3rd of Russia's Ka-52 inventory has been shot down. The War Zone did a story a few months ago on another problem the Alligator has. So that kinda harmonic vibration, I've been lead to believe that's bad, like really bad when it comes to flying things.
