DDE Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Sukhoi Superjet avionics are calibrated to a maximum permitted sealevel pressure of 1052 hPa. It was 1054 hPa in St. Petersburg today, so they got grounded. https://www.fontanka.ru/2025/02/07/75083705/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmuckatelli Posted Wednesday at 01:44 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:44 AM Sailing north out of Nassau, Bahamas I noticed something different about the water. It was a deep, dark almost black blue. My kid asked me why it was so dark and I quipped that meant the water was probably in excess of 6,000 feet deep. Literally just from stuff I picked up by hanging out with Navy types. Turns out I was right. Just north of Nassau is a part of the ocean called "Tongue of the Ocean" that cuts through the plateau that makes up most of the shallow seas that give the Bahamas such beautiful water. And yes - it was about 6,000 feet deep where we were. Not far from there it can get as deep as 13,000 feet deep! !8o The Bahamas FWIW - Nassau is pretty much in the middle of the map in the link above.
