On a standard glide path for a jet-powered passenger aircraft, the descent typically follows a 3-degree glide slope, which is a standard approach angle used at most airports worldwide. Calculating the Distance A 3-degree glide slope means the aircraft descends approximately 300 feet per nautical mile (nm). Given the altitude of 750 feet, the aircraft's horizontal distance from the airport can be calculated as: Distance=AltitudeDescent rate per nm=750300=2.5 nm.\text{Distance} = \frac{\text{Altitude}}{\text{Descent rate per nm}} = \frac{750}{300} = 2.5 \, \text{nm}.Distance=Descent rate per nmAltitude=300750=2.5nm. Conversion to Statute Miles 1 nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute miles, so: Distance in statute miles=2.5×1.15≈2.88 miles.\text{Distance in statute miles} = 2.5 \times 1.15 \approx 2.88 \, \text{miles}.Distance in statute miles=2.5×1.15≈2.88miles. Conclusion At 750 feet altitude, a jet-powered passenger aircraft would typically be about 2.5 nautical miles (4.6 kilometers) or 2.88 statute miles from the airport, assuming a 3-degree glide path. So, nothing to see here.

Not at Heck Field i hope ! We, the originals, are getting sick of all this rubbish happening!

Good Luck ! Hope you get market acceptance.

and whats the problem with that ? Foreflight is really good (and similar)

Reminds me of a fairytale about "the sky is falling"

There you go, you learn every day !

How could the "72 year old" still be a captain for Qantas ? Way past retirement age ?

They didn't take it over, it just changed its name to represent the new types of aircraft available so they removed the word "ultralight" from their name and replaced it with aviation. There was and is such a stigma over the word ultralight. The media love to use that word to describe crazy people flying aircraft made from stuff you buy at Bunnings with a lawnmower engine on the front (or back). Anyway it was just an evolutional it wasn't a takeover or anything nefarious

it won't make any change to the volume of the intercom it will only adjust the volume of the sound you hear when you are talking. You could just get used to it and leave it as it is or change it about halfway and hope the other owner doesn't notice

it's going to relate back to the radio or Intercom that you have installed, this is what controls the side tone. Please give us more information about your particulate set up and we might be able to give you some direction, radio, intercom etc

if the volume seems low it has nothing to do with the headset itself. It is to do with the side tone from your radio or your Intercom. You should be able to adjust this and ideally you want to match it to the Intercom, the side tone and the received transmissions so that they are all balanced

The problem is there are very few forum menbers left here. ☹️

Reception is not an issue on any of the aerials, it is tuning for transmission only. Our old avionics technician at the flying club used to say all the time, "you can receive a signal on a wet piece of string" referring to the fact that you can receive just about anything in the air band using anything from a wet piece of string to a coathanger, reception is not the problem it is transmission. If the length is out for transmission you will have all sorts of problems. The very worst aerial he ever saw was the mobile one ground plane independent aerial. The one with a little rubber ducky on the bottom. He would hang up the phone if anyone called saying they had transmission problems and they were using that aerial.

Looks great, well done and a real need for something that works !

Who thought there would be lies in aviation !
