The #FAA requires a 70% to pass #pilot licensing tests.
This appears to be, in large part, because the tests are absolute garbage. They are ambiguously-worded, they have questions about ratings you're not even trying to get, and the charts they provide have larger margins of error than the gap between answers.
If this test weren't so incompetently assembled, they could require 90% to pass and have more qualified pilots as a result.
La Federal Aviation Administration (#FAA) américaine examine une nouvelle fois une panne sur un avion appartenant à la société américaine #Boeing . Un Boeing 737 de la compagnie aérienne américaine Southwest a dû interrompre jeudi soir son décollage de l'aéroport international de Lubbock, au Texas, en raison d'un problème moteur, a annoncé vendredi la FAA. Il s'agissait donc d'un 737-800 NG (Next Generation), le modèle prédécesseur de l'avion 737 Max.
The FAA just gave a 6-month extension for drone operators to comply with the Remote ID standard, which requires a drone (of sufficient size) to broadcast its particulars for airspace management systems. New deadline March 16, 2024. https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/remote_id #drone#FAA#Safety
Putin's henchmen jam GPS of civilian aircraft. The GPS-jammer affecting aircrafts around Estonia is located in Russia, about halfway to St Petersburg from Narva, Estonia.
This can be shown by plotting the highest density of intersecting radio horizons of jammed aircrafts on a map.
GPS-jammer operating around Estonia and recently famous for causing the brand new Helsinki - Tartu flight line to cease operating.
Putin will bring down another jet. This monster must be detained. #Hague

FAA findet dutzendweise Produktionsprobleme bei Boeing 737 MAX
Wie groß sind die Produktions- und Sicherheitsprobleme bei Boeing? Einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge ist der US-Flugzeugbauer bei über einem Drittel der Sicherheitstests der US-Luftfahrtbehörde durchgefallen.
Well that's neat. The latest CSS I've got to handle colored silhouettes apparently does work with animated custom emoji. I was worried that I'd need a different approach to handle those.
where the img is unmodified from what Firefish outputs for an emoji and the <span class="recolor"> works without needing to be broken up around nested emoji. The <span class="img-wrap"> still has problems in the CSS but I consider this progress.
At least, it's progress unless I decide to give up and go with an SVG filter primitive for increased readability.
