For the moderators here, @voretaq7 @egid: When I try to create the synonym svfr for special-vfr, I get a message that a score of 5 is required to do that. Does this mean I have to have answered 5 questions with the special-vfr score myself or there has to be 5 questions in total having been answered in that category? I am puzzled...
I am missing the required 5 upvotes, so if a moderator could kindly create the synonym svfr for special-vfr, this would be appreciated.
Related: Is there a way to automatically link tags, i.e. If a question is marked with specials-vfr, the tag visual-flight-rules is automatically added?
If the engine quits you will lose some thrust which will effect the planes handling, you may even begin to descend slowly which the pilot will notice.
Most importantly you have engine instruments which will tell you, quite quickly the engine has quit. If you have one, your manifold pressure wil...
How did he create the clickable link that takes you the source?
So with either of these two, he enclosed the entire image to become a clickable link
You do not use <img> HTML here that often, you use the built in functionality to embed pictured.... they are uploaded to imgur and referenced in markup language
![enter image description here][# of URL] or 
What was done there is adding the image with ![BLAH DESC][1]. Then someone clever used a little trick to add the disclaimer underneath with <br><sup>(Image Source: Source)</sup>
The entire block was then encapsulated into a link markup, those can span entire blocks. I could make an entire paragraph appear as a link...
@FreeMan I hope I didn't come across bad in that comment. You had a legitimate comment, it would just need to be postpended to every faa-regulations question :)
@Farhan I have a pet peeve here with the title. IFR rules is technically a pleonasm, since IFR already contains the word Rules. This is similar to saying HIV Virus or VMC conditions. How do you see that, as someone who edits lots of grammar stuff here on Aviation.SE?
The attached question then would be... do we want questions like this with abbreviations in the title? If you trim it down, it would be: Can I fly IFR in VMC, if my IR is not current?
Not very user friendly, even if the correct aviations abbreviations are used...
@SentryRaven I agree. It is like a coworker asked me in November, what are you planning to buy on BF? I was like "what's BF?" ----> Black Friday. Oh com'on
@SentryRaven A friend of mine had to take Vitamin D medicine on certain days of the month. So he wrote VD on the calendar in his home. I asked him, dude do you know what other meanings this term has?
@SentryRaven It's quite amusing to us Americans with juvenile minds! :)
@casey "cares" about the question, yes, that audience probably understands. But the audience that's "interested" (like myself), may not. I'm sure I'm not the only non-pilot/non-ATC who is interested, fascinated, and learning, but not yet knowledgeable. Too much jargin with a "they should know" attitude makes the place seem elitist and unfriendly.
There <strike>hasn't been much</strike> has been almost none of that, though. Y'all have been very accommodating of my ignorance.
@FreeMan We aim to please. :) VFR and IFR, as well as VMC and IMC are easy to find out however, so I would agree with @Farhan and @casey here that some abbreviations are acceptable...
Regarding this question, I'm not sure what should be the correct title. This is what I've thought to be closest to the true intent of OP: What design aspects are required for an aircraft to use reverse thrusters? But this is not accurate either.
Currently in Indianapolis, IN (19 Mar 2015, ~08:00 EDT -4GMT), there is some sort of big kerfuffle downtown, and I can see 3 helicopters hovering over the near west-side of the downtown area. However, FlightRadar24 for the area doesn't seem to show them at all.

@ratchetfreak Too many people forget mobile devices when designing layouts. I'm not talking about phones, laptops have very short displays that are great for watching movies, but suck for reading
Those super wide monitors have one advantage - you can put 2-3 application windows full height & side by side so you can reference them all at once. Like a PDF, FF/Chrome & word processor.
That way you have reference docs & the doc you're writing all available at once.
Not that I'm aware of. There are heat exchangers on jets (because at 40,000 feet your fuel gets mighty cold, and you want to heat it up), but I doubt those contribute much to the unusable fuel on board in a system with that kind of capacity.
There's certainly no "heat exchanger" anywhere near the fuel system on a Cessna 152 (the only "heat exchanger" is the shroud around the exhaust for the cabin heat - and you might be able to make a case for calling the oil cooler a heat exchanger if you got someone drunk enough).
actually, on reflection, I think I wanted a RH one rather than a LH one, as the wind was going the wrong way at the weekend (not that it really makes much difference)
@voretaq7 I think @DanHulme has written several articles but he is posting those on his blog as he was frustrateddisappointed not very happy with the progress.

I pitch in blind here, but I believe in some instances fuel is circulated for heat exchange.
