That sounds like you’re still doing a lot of work. Is that net new work you wouldn’t have done before (like would you have needed to write those docs before as well)? Writing code never feels like the complicated or time expensive part to me. Figuring out what I want to do is, and I need to do that with either approach, and then thinking through how I’d like to organize things is another time sink, and perhaps that can be replaced/augmented by ai, but organizing things well requires long term thinking and is very hard to explain

Does anyone else feel like we’re seeing more military activity and that that activity is taking less precautions with regards to safely operating around civilian traffic?

They’re still contracted by the FAA and I believe have to follow the same standards. I don’t think that they’re a private company is the big issue here.

It says a small plane that tilted to one side on take off and then abruptly went inverted. My guess is this was a small twin engine plane that lost an engine on takeoff. If they don’t respond quickly in those planes (in most cases, depending on their speed, by shutting off the running engine as well), the power from the working engine and the drag from the non-working engine will flip the plane.

The Rutan Boomerang is a unique twin plane that can lose an engine without adverse yaw. But small twins don’t follow these design principals.
