Interesting you snipped what I wrote after "Aviation is NOT a discussion." I wrote "It is the art and science of flying and by flying I mean using tools to overcome gravity in a controlled and managed way." And yes there was a typo in the original but that matters not. |

Why do I have to be sure? *(Although I typically am.) well if you are not sure, it would be polite to say so instead of using your usual authorative tone, but that is an issue of normal human interaction and ettiquette, I dont expect you would understand that. But where you have gone wrong on this group is too many times you have told people incorrectly that they were wrong, that will really **** a lot of people off. Why would I care about that? *People who react in that way are reliably stupid, and I'm not interested in talking to stupid people. That pretty much says it all. You want people to help you but you dont give a **** what they feel or how you treat them. No wonder you live your life in front of a computer screeen, but I'm guessing it wont be long before your computer even walks out on you. And then to make it worse, there have been people who would still take the time to explain to you why you were wrong, and you would refuse to accept it or acknowledge you were wrong. Examples? I gave you an example, cacluculating the density of a parcel of atmosphere from the gas laws. remember? Come to think of it I cant recall a single time you admitted you were wrong. That's because I'm not often wrong, but I admit it when it is the case. I'd like to see that. Example? * would you like to tell us again why we cant apply the ideal gas law to calculate the air density of a parcel of air we want to fly in. You cannot use the combined laws (note the nuance) because the volume of the atmosphere is not constrained. PV=nRT substitue n for m/M gives m/V ( density ) = PM/RT notice how volume is now removed from the equation? so for any parcel of air where the pressure and temp are effectively constant, ie like at an airport that might interest a pilot, you can calculate density by simply knowing the pressure and temperature, this can then be related to density height and performance of the aircraft. Explain why the non constrainment effects that relationship? Of course most pilots dont get out the calcuator and do this calculation, they use tables that do effectively the same thing. But they use the measured pressure ( the altimeter is effectively a pressure meter) and read outside temperature from the thermometer, and then use tables to read off density altitude ( density) which would give you the same result as if I measured the pressure with a barometer, temperature with a thermometer and used the ideal gas equation in the form as given above, to calculate density and then refer this density to the ISA atmosphere. I suggest you cross understanding of gas laws off your list of non trivial knowldege Terry PPL Downunder |

I doubt your statement regarding ptivate pilots.
€The average person does not know how to use a circular slide rule. The average pilot does, The private pilot must solve wind triangles, a form of vector analysis, must demonstrate some skill in navigation, enough gas theory to understand the dynamics of weather systems, enough physics to know about lapse rates, and so on. The average person does not. You have not demonstrated that either to the extent a student pilot must. Poor Mx.

Therefore most pilots don't know much of anything about these things, either. Simple logic. I suspect you don't even know a significant sample. Not necessary. See above. |

Thats a ridiculous statement and non logical at all. There are so many barriers to gaining a pilots license ( as you would know) that it would be self evident to any reasonable person that pilots ( even private ones) must be skewed towards higher education , intelligence, income and determination than the population as a whole ( ie your average person). And by self evident ,I mean it should not require any data to prove. One only has recognise several factors at play. High intelligence , education , income and determination will will not prevent a person from becoming a pilot, whereas a low rating in any one of the above can certainly be a strong barrier to a person becoming a pilot, thus the pilot population is naturally skewed and your statement is incorrect. Please cross statistics off your list of non trivial knowledge. Terry |
