What with technoblurbling willy wavers, spelling police, pissing contestants I'm not surprised pilots are leaving. Perhaps IO540 can explain what flying jetprops & 737s has to do with private flying? & when someone asks about setting an altimeter to a GPS alt, he gets shot to bits with geoids, sirf chipsets & crap about what dire consequences await at 20000ft! I'm quite sure he & the rest of us are well aware that an altimeter reads pressure difference & a GPS uses geographic triangulation in some form, we don't need told that!! nor do we need told that we can get a QNH from any corner shop. Provided the wireless is working!! It doesn't encourage the asking of what, to the asker, is a reasonable question.Rant over.
And for some reason I can't seperate paragraphs on this stupid tablet thing!
