Hey Everyone,
I passed my check ride this last Friday for private pilot! woo hoo. This has been what I call "Curiosity killed the cat adventure.", in the figurative sense of course. ;-)
It was all partly inspired by work with Spark/Ada while I was at Sac State and few guest lectures I gave to the CSC 201 class at Sac State on Spark/Ada revolving around the implementation of Spark/Ada in the C130J upgrades. While I found the use of Spark/Ada interesting in the C130J, I couldn't help wondering what more is involved with the aircraft. So, I took pilot training lessons! Well, it has been a lot of work. I can fly a Cessna 172 now! It's not quite a C130J, but it sure gives that hands on feel!
Here is an interesting paper! https://www.sigada.org/ada_letters/dec2000/chapman-paper.pdf
