The event started at 2200 ft. so it's highly unlikely the autopilot was on at this time. There was significant weather in the area which may have been a factor. (Hawaiian Airlines had experienced severe turbulence from that same weather.)

I met Gen. Yeager in 1996 when I worked at Northwest Airlines. He was not a pleasant person at all, and actually downright nasty towards some of our staff at our flight training facility. I gave him a pass as I found out later that his first wife was suffering from cancer and only had a short...

Are you sure he was an actual Law Enforcement Officer? There have been documented cases of wanna-be's doing exactly what you described. In those cases, the ones pulled over actually called 911 to indicate they were being stopped under suspicious circumstances. They can confirm your location and...

That is correct. That's how it is handled at the stadium that I work at during NFL games.

Crowd Noise is not played through the stadium speakers, at least not at the stadium where I work during NFL games. I'm a Manager of Event Command at a stadium where one of the NFL teams plays. I can tell you that the added crowd noise is mixed in downstream during video production, just like...

I just completed my own upgrade using a Sensi Touch WiFi thermostat. I had a Honeywell programable thermostat previously and actually purchased a Honeywell T9 and the Sensi because I didn't know which would work better in my application. A couple of considerations: The Honeywell T9 allows...

I ordered a new set of tires for my boat trailer and wonder if anyone bothers to have them balanced. Seems to me it would be better overall if they were spin balanced so I wonder just how many of you have had that done for your trailer tires. Thanks.

UPDATE: I drove the 135 miles home with the boat yesterday and the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee performed much better than expected. The boat trailered extremely well and the Jeep had no issues with power or braking, thanks to the 4 wheel disc brakes on the trailer. A large portion of this trip home...

I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 3.6L V6 4WD with the trailer towing package and transmission cooler as well as the factory installed class IV receiver hitch. It is rated to tow up to 6500 lbs. with a max tongue weight of 600 lbs. The vehicle also has load adjusting shocks, and I'm wondering...

This one.

Most owners were notified and sent a flash drive to do the update last September. Mine has been updated for several months now.

I know I'm not the smartest guy around, but this statement has me perplexed "Cycling back from invigilating an exam in heavy rain", unless of course that is an intellectual statement intended for a smarter audience. Someone care to enlighten me? Edit: I just looked it up: Invigilating...
