  • The engineering was horrible down to material design and engineering. Different types of stainless have different applications. IIRC he announced that the same material used in SpaceX rockets would be used in the cybertruck - without considering if that’d be a good idea. Most people went crazy for it because SpaceX and did not consider that space ships and cars might require different formulations







  • Unless you work for the FAA, NHSTA, Boeing, or relevant Indian equivalents, I’m going to have to ask you to stop speculating.

    If it’s spring based, and one side failed, it’s possible that next to no force will flip it to one side, but it takes the expected amount of force to move it in the other direction.

    These determinations always require more knowledge than is publicly available.

    I’d like to remind you Air India has a notorious record of bad maintenance in the case of AI101 in 2018. I’d like to further point out that they landed that plane and demonstrated that Air India has hired very skilled pilots.



  • I’m not the person you replied to and I’m not familiar with India’s certificate process, but the FAA is a stickler about mental health - even for a PPL on a class 3. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting treatment or not. The fact that you have any history of mental illness is huge. It seems really fucking stupid to me, especially if you are getting help.

    I hope to god indias certificate procedures aren’t as ridiculous as the FAA
