Iโ€™ve been home sick for the last ten days. Cabin fever hitting hard, so I made an apple pie. Yes, I like baking too.

This is especially important for VFR flights. Do you specifically check for non standard approach paths? What resources do you use? Do you consider this a possible threat? Do you go further to find out why the approach path is non-standard?

New question for the #aviation people, especially if you're flying GA. I fly for the airlines, so we're really insulated from this a fair bit. My Q... how do you prepare for a trip to a new airport, specifically do you check for non-standard glide paths (not 3.0ยบ).

The UHC CEO shooter just makes me think of D.B. Cooper.

Of course my brain would go with an aviation twist.

I would say itโ€™s important to stay groundedโ€ฆbut that wouldnโ€™t be very pilot of me. Youโ€™ll do great, and good luck!

Amazingly, is still have (counting on fingers and toes)โ€ฆa few more to go. But since time speeds up as we get older, Iโ€™m sure itโ€™ll go by too quickly.

Another friend went out on medical just last month, hopefully he makes it back. So, Iโ€™m thankful today.

I used to watch a guy in PAO, modifying and prepping Cessnas and Mooneys for ferry flights to Asia. First stop Hawaii. There are a lot of ways to make money in this bizโ€ฆnot sure I would choose that.

This is the correct answer. The 50 and 100 feet were in my head. I forgot it was a CEO vs NEO difference.

Itโ€™s also supposed to add a little forward resistance so that your flare feels like conventional flight controls.

Oofโ€ฆway more hours than me. Iโ€™m only a year and a half on the fleet.

Isnโ€™t it supposed to transition to direct stick to flight control for the last 50-100 feet? I think itโ€™s supposed to โ€œnot be noticeableโ€.

Yepโ€ฆused it last night into SEA. The aircraft needed an autoland for currency.
