True. I give them about 2 seconds after I should have started my turn before I just taxi myself onto the line and wait for the X to stop.

You're just as qualified as I am to discuss etymology - go ahead and look in the OED for death and tell me what you find - you're wrong ?

Heart basically stopping isn't death. Resuscitated, not resurrected. Brain death is death, that's how it works.

Ruddervators, not wings. The boom operator flys the boom and extends the nozzle once the receiver is stable in the envelope.

Don't want to overspeed the prop, or exceed the Vne of the plane from being nose down and power on, or aggravate the spin.

They don't always do carrier ops. But also, carriers point into the wind so they never have to deal with crosswinds...which is cheating lol

So do suicide bombers. Just because you die for something you believe in doesn't mean it's a worthy cause. He left a family behind for what?

Will likely pass out, but survive. The pane, not so much.

A heavy snapping to 9 Gs as rapidly as a small aircraft built to withstand that acceleration will suffer structural damage, the passengers/3

G forces, especially over short bursts. Large planes can over G at as little as 2.5Gs, which is much less than a roller coaster. /2

More turbulence, yes. More Gs, unlikely. High gross weights and speed/altitude lower aircraft's G limits. Humans can survive high linear 1/

Common misconception. Bernoulli's principle is not the primary component of lift.

I was a GS-11 step 4 and still lived paycheck to paycheck. They took 45% of my check in taxes/deductions/basic health insurance.

Was looking if someone posted this, thanks. You'd be surprised how many pilots still believe this.

Lowered P-Factor (torque from the engine rotating the aircraft) and eliminates the "critical engine" on a multi engine propeller plane.
