hi. I remember seeing link on A@SE to the simulation of collision. Could you help me find it? basically, it was simulation of plane (from pilot's POV) and message: there is plane approaching, don't miss it. Then there was a jet approaching from 3 o'clock direction, and viewer would be like "oh that's easy, how anyone can miss it". But as sim continues, there would be second jet from about 11 o'clock rushing toward the pilot to collision

i don't remember the thread where it was posted. And it may have been on some website, not on youtube.

@Federico runway designed for props combined with high power jet engine much closer to the ground than on modern aircraft.

@Federico Don't most current browsers reject http anyway? I thought I read somewhere that they all default to https even though it wasn't mandated.

Or was it that they just don't use http2 without https?

Federico

@TomMcW the second one you said.

TomMcW

@Federico I just checked my android Firefox. I typed in www.avherald.com and it pulled up the http version. That is a little annoying. Afaik https is faster.

Federico

@TomMcW not according to Simon. feel free to discuss it with him, I gave up.

ratchet freak

when speaking just connecting and transferring the data https can never be faster than http

you need a handshake before you can even start the request and the encryption itself isn't free either

@ratchetfreak istlsfastyet.com

ratchet freak

that is just arguing that it's not much slower due to various trick and hardware that is fast and efficient at encrypting

Federico

ok, feel free to test: httpvshttps.com click on the top right

ratchet freak

I'm gonna call shenanigans on that one

Federico

So, strictly speaking, the "turn coordinator" consists of both the "little plane" and the inclinometer, right?

What do you call just the "little plane" part of it?

You could call it the rate-of-turn-about-an-axis-30-degrees-pitch-up-from-the-vertical-axis indicator.

But that's a little verbose.

@TannerSwett it's just the turn indicator

I know it's not quite the same as the turn indicator you get in the other-style turn and slip gauge, but I've never heard it called anything different

Tanner Swett

Yeah, "turn indicator" seems to be a good name for it.

And then the other style could be called a "yaw rate indicator", since that's exactly what it is.
