    Boeing 787-9 Twin Jet Dreamliner Hits Top Speed of 801 MPH

    zauber said: ↑ Sorry my statement actually combined the limits for Class A and Class E airspace, which is what I work at ZNY. There are radar approach controls below the entirety of the airspace I work, so I never deal with Class B, C, D, or G airspace.

    Boeing 787-9 Twin Jet Dreamliner Hits Top Speed of 801 MPH

    The only speed limits in class A airspace are 250 knots IAS below 10,000 feet and not to exceed Mach 1 over the continental Unites States. With or without passengers. Airspeeds may be assigned by ATC to manage traffic flow.

    En route controller in NY here. 767 pilot reported a 204 knot head wind at FL360 (36000 feet) last week. Can't recall a report higher than that, 30 years experience. Many flights filing initial cruise altitudes in the low 20's, until they get out from under the jetstream farther west or south.

    Wireless pcie desktop NIC recommendation

    No wire available at my desktop location for the near future. Right now I am using an ASUS PCE-N53 card and it sucks. Software takes 30+ seconds to load after desktop boots. Please recommend something better, corded antenna would be a plus. I am 10 feet and one wall away from the router (asus...

    I bought this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127845 for $180 after rebate (it is higher now). Could not find a 970 under $300 at the time. The GTX 660 was adequate at 1900 x 1200, so the the 960 should be fine for the games i will be playing for the...

    Need to replace 660gtx

    I tried to squeeze a couple of rounds of world of tanks in between a 5 mile run and a shower, some sweat dripped off my arm onto the mesh top of my desktop case ... it dripped onto the back of my video card which apparently fried something. Card fans work and power light is on but no signal is...

    Corsair Carbide Series 500r - Now Available

    I just ordered the black 500r from amazon this afternoon. I have an unopened 400r that i will return to microcenter. To me the position of the 200 mm fan in the 500r looks like it wont interfere with a large cpu cooler. It looked to me like the upper side door fan on the 400r might cause a...
