This report is an analysis on hurricanes, surprisingly I am not seeing the explosive growth that documentaries show. I took the raw list of hurricanes from wikipedia to make landfall in US 1850-2018 and did an analysis. This is a “strength” study. Each hurricane gets points which is the square of its category, so cat 5 = 25 points, cat 2 = 4 points. It’s an annual study where we sum up the points of all hurricanes happening within one calendar year. There is no clear pattern of exponential growth in strength. In fact in 2005 strength appears to be all time low. This is the same study b y decade  where we sum up the points of all hurricanes happening in 10 year periods. You may think the exponential scoring is unfair, so we can try a linear. Here, the points assigned to each hurricane is equal to its category. So two cat 3 hurricanes in one year = 6 points. This is a color coded study showing counts by hurricane category. Here I added a polynomial trend line. Over 20...

If you're going IFR to linden in real IFR weather, think twice about this. If flying is inherently dangerous, and if approaches to minimums are the most dangerous part of flying, then this particular approach is a compound. This approach should n ever be attempted by new IFR pilots with weather near minimums . If you're a seasoned IFR pilot, keep reading. Newark Approach will force you to cancel IFR between the FAF and MAP. The MAP is the first opportunity to maybe see the runway. That means you're always cancelling IFR before you have visual contact with the runway, and you cannot go missed. Recall that VFR minimums in Golf daytime is 1sm vis and clear of clouds. That means in daytime, as long as you have 1sm vis and can remain clear of clouds, legally, you can cancel IFR and continue the approach legally VFR pilot nav. Visibility is the most important thing. It's 2.3nm from BAUTZ to the runway. So if visibility is less than 2.3nm you know you won't be able...

Is the market in a bubble? Is a stock market crash coming? Aggregate macroeconomic data is not showing any sings of weakness for previous month. Would be interesting to see sentiment analysis of "stock market bubble is about to burst" discussion around 2013 compared to now. I recall there was a lot of worry back then that market was at all time high. If you recall, around 2013 a lot of investors and analysts were talking about moving to cash positions anticipating recession. Seems silly in retrospect, that was so long ago. 2013 was year of IPhone 5 and the beginning of Obama's second term.  The data below represents 2004-2018. above: Google Trends on "stock market bubble",. you can clearly see in 2013 (red circle) it becomes a hot topic as S&P reached pre recession high. This can be thought of as a "pessimism grap h". above: S&P 500 2004-current, notice the discussion correlates with S&P hitting pre-recession highs. ab...

These are the shortest runways in Caribbean. They come with their fare share of crashes like this Aztek in Saint Barts. Notice the wheels don't make contact until the departure-end 1000 foot white markers . The go-around should have been executed long before that, at the approach end 1000-foot markers . 11.
