Unfortunately that's not quite true, since the "app screen" on the media display during Android Auto use has an additional "Toyota" icon that AFAIK isn't coming from my phone.

What's more concerning is that it's entirely unclear exactly what information is shared over the Android Auto link, in my case, over Bluetooth.

The headers actually contain an unsubscribe email address that actually works.

The format is something like googlegroups-manage+{groupName}[email protected]

Just send an email there and they stop coming (for that list).

Source: I was getting spam like this, a fellow victim did some tests and confirmed that it stopped the onslaught of messages.

The aircraft was doing touch and go's, it was planning to land and immediately take off again, something you typically do to practise procedures.

Speculation is that the pilot forgot to lower the landing gear, but I suspect the NTSB will likely determine the specific circumstances.

The radio traffic is here on the VASAviation YouTube channel:

SEEKING WORK | UTC+8 | Remote

Hi I'm Onno,

I'm an experienced polyglot IT professional, software developer, trouble shooter, researcher, public speaker, educator, writer and publisher, founder and small business owner, podcaster, and licensed radio amateur. I work remotely from my home-office in Perth, Western Australia, UTC+8.

My experience with data started with the Dutch equivalent of Medicare when I was an intern, trusted with access to 20 million health records, a VAX/VMS cluster and a copy of SPSS. Since then I've built and used databases in many different contexts, from dBase (and Clipper) to MySQL (and MariaDB), from Oracle to MS-SQL, PostgreSQL and SQLite.

I've built standalone and web-based applications and lost count of how many once-off tools I've written to convert one data-set into another. I've built visualisations in R, Tableau, QuickSight, D3.js, gnuplot and Graphviz for clients around the globe. I've created mapping systems, won several Hackathons, and most recently, in a project lasting 44 months, investigated 300,000 lines of source-code, generating several terabytes of data. I'm familiar with AWS, Linux, and Open Source, am a public speaker, have produced a popular technical podcast about amateur radio for over 12 years and have conducted about 1,800 radio interviews, most of them live to air.

Whilst actively looking for the next opportunity, I'm analysing a five billion row data-set for HF Radio propagation, building a word-cloud based search engine to tag data, revising the eBooks I've published and I'm exploring how Morse code evolved to deal with the physical phenomenon of dispersion. For self-education I've been building some M/L models to classify data.

If you're into resolving odd and complex problems, need someone with dedication and tenacity, and believe that "Social Good" is an important attribute to cultivate, get in touch!
