| daftykins | happy Monday folks o/ | 11:48 |
|---|---|---|
| daftykins | mmm a large mocha from Costa | 11:48 |
| davef | Is it though? I covered the 8pm to 2am on-call shift last night. | 13:17 |
| davef | I was called at 1:58am. | 13:18 |
| zxmpi | of course you where. how long did the call take? | 13:19 |
| davef | About 15mins | 13:20 |
| zxmpi | a nice annoying way to finish the day | 13:22 |
| diddledani | *2 minutes into the call* shift's over. bye | 13:49 |
| davef | Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full. | 14:05 |
| diddledani | I thought that quote was "paddock" | 14:06 |
| davef | paddock? | 14:06 |
| diddledani | yeah, as in "field" | 14:07 |
| davef | what? | 14:07 |
| diddledani | Negative Ghost Rider, the paddock is full | 14:07 |
| zxmpi | just don't see a yank saying paddock | 14:08 |
| davef | No, it's "pattern" as in the approach pattern. | 14:08 |
| diddledani | yeah, I hear it now. I struggled to hear exactly what word they were using because it's poor audio https://youtu.be/crkpTwo68A8 | 14:10 |
| davef | https://media.giphy.com/media/lmjpaSDlUUWkhcgaXe/giphy-downsized-large.gif | 14:10 |
| diddledani | full high quality clip https://youtu.be/j67CW3AHEJ8 | 14:10 |
| diddledani | I'm not very au fait with aviation terms, so I'm sure you've got a MUCH better understanding than I to bring to bear :-) | 14:11 |
| diddledani | unrelated (but kinda cool) I love watching military fighter jets using a commercial airport following all the civil aviation rules of airportsx | 14:15 |
| diddledani | "no you can't go first, the 777 needs to use the runway first" | 14:16 |
| diddledani | watching those little things taxiing is fun | 14:16 |
| davef | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDuzSfR6NxU | 14:37 |
| diddledani | sideways landings... | 14:38 |
| davef | crosswind landing | 14:38 |
| davef | I've done a ton of them in flight sim. | 14:39 |
| diddledani | I'm always impressed at how slow they can go when they're langing | 14:39 |
| davef | The A330s and 737s can slow to around 130-140knotts on approach | 14:39 |
| davef | The larger planes around 170 ish | 14:40 |
| diddledani | nice smooth landings too | 14:40 |
| davef | Anyone here subscribed you YouTube Premium? I'm debating over if I should get it or not. YT has pretty much become my primary source of entertainment. | 17:50 |
| diddledani | in the UK pretty much the only benefit is no ads | 18:14 |
| diddledani | although you can feel warm and fuzzy with the knowledge that even though you aren't seeing ads you're supporting the creators | 18:14 |
| davef | That's the thing, I like that it supports the creator. | 18:17 |
| davef | I might sub for the free month and see how I get on with it and if I make use of all the features it offers. | 18:20 |
| davef | I took the free month | 18:54 |
| davef | See what happens. Who knows, if it caters to both my Youtube and music streaming, I'll probably end my spotify sub. | 18:54 |
