Hi guys, my partner is a bit too shy to post this (ie, in LinkedIn) so she wrote it for herself. I read it and thought it was good to post somewhere. Thanks for reading!

Ask HN: Failure in Education/EdTech leadership – anyone else?

How do leaders become leaders? The word “leader” used to mean so much. Think about how important you felt being a line leader in primary school or a team captain in PE. Being a leader was earned—it meant you had exemplary behavior and could guide others effectively.But is that what leadership means anymore? In my experience, leaders today are often disappointing. My post-grad work life has been...

Yeah! I see this in soccer all the time --- interesting indeed. I wonder if they need to pick several cases (a tight win for team A, for team B, a draw, an embarrassing loss of A, for B, ...)

woah, super cool concept... what made you choose this 'future path(s)' and would you've done any others?

Yeah, those are the ones I meant!! I think they were recently taken away from the Dakar and replaced with screens

Yeehaw! Glad you may be able to put it through its paces

Hi! erm, lemme check tomorrow -- I'm using one I got second hand in facebook marketplace from a business. The printer works with the library in the article but things like font-size selection had to be retweaked

It's a generic brand one -- but on eBay I've see some for cheap; maybe (like someone pointed out) not that cheap (sorry if title was misleading, not my intention at all)

My recommendation? buy it locally or just ask a business if they are getting rid of one (that was how I got lucky)

Sorry I can't help much more

i had no idea this existed -- amazing

damn you may be right (maybe something between 20 and 50 at least)

does second hand count? gumtree m/craigslist/facebook marketplace/ etc etc

Yeeeehaww!! e-ink rocks!! Do it
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @04:15PM (#37192696)
I actually just bought one from the business next door but on eBay I've seen them at $20 (tho if you get the Super Pro XL Mega 4K one it's more hehe)

Sadly just me being dumb :')
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @03:41PM (#37192338)
Yup! Sorry, glad you caught on :)

Maybe my point was rubbish, just wanted to highlight that the learning curve is --> this is an IFR instrument + how it's represented/actioned thru our avionics suite

For sure, something bigboys might be happy to hear you covered in your ATP

Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @03:38PM (#37192308)
that's interesting, thanks for the insight -- I was aware of thermal's darkening but unaware of it's speed. I'll leave one out in the sun tomorrow, if I can have ~4hrs with it I'll be chuffed

And, of course, as you said, aviate navigate communicate first :)

Thanks!

I copy pasted my <img> tags cause I had to 'remake' the blog and completely forgot to fill it in, if you are using accessibility functionality I am very sorry -- please allow me to update it briefly

Have a nice weekend :)

Hahaha, I had a similar thing, I folded my E6B day 1 hour 2 of ground school... anything from 130deg to 210deg had a +-5deg parallax error

Great story! Glad it coulda been've use :)

Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @02:45PM (#37191791)
what a great gesture!! put a smile in my face
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @02:19PM (#37191562)
I had no idea! Researching now
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @02:17PM (#37191551)
Wohooo!! good luck!!
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @02:14PM (#37191521)
I'd have to agree (with the little experience I have). My school is the cheapest on the block and we have the oldest planes, the other day I sat in another's schools C172 and saw the G1000 and.. "damn.. look at all those colours and uh what does this button do" was just about all I could say

I think in regards to safety, screens have the upper hand 99% of the time however...

a) the 1:1 of screen X to screen Y doesn't exist, I (think) you have to pretty much learn the new system

b) there's a certain je ne se quais to instruments

c) the school that has the G1000 needs a G1000 trainer as well as an IFR trainer (though I guess that's fine because then you have experience in both)

d) too much screens may not be the best - the G600 has touchscreens now

I was about to buy a plane with a longer a pillar --- darn it! I guess roll chart makes more sense indeed.

I know them from the Rally Dakar, I think up to recently they used them, I think they are super cool; great shout :)

I'd wanna grab a friend w/ a 3D printer to make one because I kind of like the flexibility of sellotape at the moment, especially the roll chart mount into the airframe

damn -- if I went through the silly PDF that SkyVector provides -- why not!

Lemme research a bit what the export format is!

Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @01:44PM (#37191207)
Thank you thank you thank you -- just did! Nice day
Re:Show HN: Aviation Navigation Log on $20 Receipt Printer on Saturday August 19, 2023 @01:44PM (#37191200)
Hi! --- fantastic question, so far, mostly due to the gentle nature of General Aviation flights and my sellotape skills, I haven't had to deal with this.

I did worry at one point, but it's surprisingly sturdy.

If it does fall --- no worries! I have my original (kneeboard) copy to go off

Thanks for the question!
