@twilightsfilm It's not just you. Occasional glitches here too. Garbled audio and picture for a couple of seconds about 5 times this practice session. I'm watching via the Android TV app. @F1Help

@vcdgf555 Very relatable. That's why I don't go to the @SanicoleAirshow daytime show.

[Daniel Blok @AvGeekLucky]

@vcdgf555 Yep, seen that trick before. Land, reverse, take off. I've also seen a twin otter reverse itself out of a gate at Glasgow many years ago.

@michaelmiraflor @AirlineFlyer No point in increasing flight length for better on time performance stats, if you end up waiting at some remote stand because your gate is still occupied.

@cemaxecuter @rtlsdrblog I thought the RTLSDR only has 2.5 MHz of bandwidth. How are you getting 20 MHz?

@IshrionA Thank you for clarifying.

@AirlineFlyer Surprised it's not a 2-2 layout.

@DJSnM @albertsjoberg I've had mixed results getting GPS in passenger jets. Most jets work fine as long as I hold my phone close to the window. 787s generally don't work, I assume because of the electrically dimmed windows.

@AirlineFlyer On Netflix, if I switch the audio from 5.1 to stereo dialogue becomes a lot more intelligible. Unfortunately I have to do this every time I play something. I guess it thinks my soundbar is a 5.1 system.

@Schiphol @Lexi1973 Voorlopig blijft het deel tussen D en E dicht dus? Op dit punt ben ik bang dat het nooit meer open gaat 🫤

@iniBuilds @SynapticSim To be clear, I don't mind that it's become payware. I just feel a little sad that the code is now going to be proprietary.

[Daniel Blok @AvGeekLucky]

@iniBuilds @SynapticSim I've got mixed feelings about this. On the one hand this will give the project a lot more resources and opportunity to succeed. On the other hand, I would have loved to see what the open source community could have done with this.

[Daniel Blok @AvGeekLucky]

@AirlineFlyer Shouldn't this apply to the 737-900 and 737-MAX 8-200 as well since they have the same door panel? @FAANews

[Daniel Blok @AvGeekLucky]

@AirlineFlyer They already have emergency locator transmitter's right?

@AirframesIO Happy to have contributed 4.2 million ACARS messages and 21.4 million VDL2 messages in just over a year from near EHAM. Looking forward to see what the new site can do with the data in these messages.
