Ive been distro hopping and landedon Fedora KDE plasma edition. It is amazing, so much configurability yet its super slick and clean. It is a real joy to use. Kudos to the dev community.
wezdog1··on Air Traffic Control
I take your point but simply throwing silicone at the problem doesn't make things all of a sudden better. Wind data can already be uplinked to aircraft through ACARS anyway. The problem is aviation is very dynamic. You can't fly the plane and get a bing bong message cleared to land and not be distracted by it. Voice comms are flawed but one of the benefits is you can hear them and monitor the aircraft state. ATC have systems which add another layer of protection for a misidentified runway for example.

Amazing. I have the Aqara Z1s and it has the SI labs MG24 chip. Ive always wanted to reflash it because I believe it supports thread at a hardware level.

This rhetoric is old. You can thrive on a vegan diet very easily without this careful calibration you speak of. The same could be said for common western diets with poor nutrition.

In civil aviation specifically jets, your AI pitch on the horizon does actually reference body angle not level flight. I wonder if it's a function of the precision and scale of mechanical AIs and also the wider flight regime of military aircraft.

wezdog1··on Launch HN: Airhart Aeronautics (YC S22) – A modern personal airplane
ATPL here, couldn't agree more with both of your comments.

It's not to say recreational/LS pilots are necessarily inexperienced or hazardous but the odds are certainly higher than someone trained to an IFR standard.

Like you said, raising the systems standards and improving affordability is fantastic. Lowering the barrier to entry in the complex world of aviation would require fundamental changes on so many levels I don't see this project completely achieving it but good luck to them, I think theres more to gain than lose.
