i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Bluesky has overtaken both Instagram and Twitter for the FIRST time.

After all the follow packs this place really does feel like old school twitter. Ive found almost everyone i used to follow

Little bit of automated flight control testing

Back to Aviation safety.

So what if a safety event happens when no one is around to see it happen?

Pictured is an oxygen discharge blowout disk. In the event the system over pressurizes when no ones around, this disk will rupture giving the pilot a visual indication during of a system failure.

Im really sad Harris lost but the amount of election denialism on threads is just even more sad. Really wanted to believe our side was better than that.

One of my favorite things about bluesky so far is the starter packs

📌I'm a Navy vet, and was the Managing Editor of Stars & Stripes, the editorially independent newspaper that covers the troops and their families overseas.

📌I wish to GOD I never had to write this, but you REALLY need to read it.

(And if you are asking what to do, share it. Information is POWER.)

#1 reason you shouldn’t be afraid to fly. Redundancies. There’s redundancies for everything on the aircraft from the major components, software code, down to lock-wiring nuts and bolts.

The bolts in the picture are wired together so that neither bolt can loosen without tightening the other.

When a plane has an excessively hard landing (2G’s of force or more), a detailed hard landing inspection is required. Here we are doing a gear swing test to ensure all the components are working correctly.

This is only one aspect if the inspection. The entire airframe will also be inspected.

Wow. Waited for so long. Finally on #BlueSky!
