And a set of FAQ just in case:

Vibe coding - has that mindset moved into the world of homebuilt aircraft? What has been the impact?
My approach to building a glider has been 'build a little, test a little.' That doesn't mix well with the vibe coding approach.
"Experimental amateur-built aircraft, often called "homebuilts" because they are typically built in people's garages and basements, are the fastest growing segment of new aircraft in the United States."

"What amuses me is the chatter around such illustrations. You’ll see comments to the effect of “normal airplanes are boring. Engine in the front, tail at the back, people in the middle. Blah!”
Well, friends, because that’s what works. It’s fair to say general aviation moves on settled science. We know what works efficiently and safely when the human is the only thing in the control loop"

Didn't find any mentions in my search for #EAA #AirVenture #Oshkosh 2025 happening now. No #avgeeks on the fediverse?
Wenn man einen Ultimate Guide zum #EAA schreibt, einen bekannten Accessibility-Newsletter sponsort, und dann sowas schreibt:
"The EAA builds upon the EU Web Accessibility Directive, adopted in 2016…"
Nunja, dann würde ich dem Rest des "Guide" auch nicht unbedingt vertrauen...
It's EAA Air Venture convention time in Oshkosh, WI. I'm going to spend the rest of the afternoon listening to the controllers. I miss being there. #EAA #Oshkosh

Going on an Air Venture
Serial number 34378 was donated to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1978 by the Outboard Marine Corporation. She was used to fly EAA staff, EAA merchandise, and later gave scenic rides. The EAA hosts the AirVenture fly-in convention at Oshkosh, Wisconsin each year, which happens to be commencing in less than two days.

European Accessibility Act (EAA) FAQ
"Understanding any new legislation can be challenging. The nature of the European Accessibility Act as a directive and its wide scope can make it particularly difficult to fully understand."

I flew some Young Eagles yesterday (11 of them) and then did some night flying to keep my currency up. Very smooth flying and a great time for all!
The Journal of mHealth has published an article on the European Accessibility Act featuring our Director, @tink.
Léonie shares insights on the implications the Act has for digital health organisations and why accessibility should be part of the conversation from the outset.

The countdown to EAA compliance is on!
From 28 June 2025, the EU’s Accessibility Act will reshape how businesses approach accessibility.
One-off audits aren’t enough - lasting success means making accessibility part of your daily workflow.

I flew to KLOT from KATW today on a whim because our Young Eagle Rally was cancelled and it was a fun trip. I had to peck my way up through the clouds and then back down through the clouds on the way down. Going under Chicago class B was a mistake as it was bumpy and generally not fun. For the return trip I circled south of the Bravo to 10,500' and proceeded over the airspace which was a nice smooth ride.
Tricky things were the 40+ knot crosswinds, weird wind shear, 20 gusting 28 on landing. Continuous moderate turbulence below the cloud layer. I had to do a go around when I was landing at KATW because wowie what a challenge.
It was a cool day of flying, 4.9 on the Hobbs and I am very tired now. Also we have a heat advisory for Heat Indexes of 104F (40C) but it was nice at altitude. Putting the plane away and cleaning the wings and such in that heat had me dripping sweat.
I need to take a shower
