dazza 38 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 That wouldn't surprise me. It has been quite windy up here. I flew home today on a -8 400 from Roma. We were cranking along at 600 Kph. We actually had to do one orbit over ESK because ATC couldn't fit us in as we would have been 5 minutes ahead of the slot time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nobody Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It's stopped working FMe, try searching for the story wasn't much, just video of them pushing a 230 along the taxyway. It's a shame to see that they may be causing more damage by pushing on the elevator..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If it looks undamaged bar the prop and has been on it's back, it's a Jab. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 If it's a Cessna, some wanker has given it a Jab vertical stab and painted the "Jabiru" logo on it......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 There's no doubt of what it is. ( Plenty of pictures).. Willy willies are capable of changing the scene fast. It's not always easy to see them till they affect you, unless it is dry and they are known as "dust devils" and a bit more visible.. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andys@coffs Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Hmm did a job on the VASI..... I guess that isn't a plop it back on its concrete and she'll be right type of thing...... Wonder if that affects the RPT's flying in after dark..... The aircraft looks to me like the wing attachment for the RHS is stuffed when you look at the photo of it from the front.....The prop doesn't look like it touched the ground at all.....that is amazing!

Guernsey Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It's probably a Cessna pretending he's grown up to be a Jabiru. Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viewfromright Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 http://www.northernstar.com.au/news/plane-flips-over-at-ballina/2025029/ I read the article, it was definitely a Cessna. Don't read the pictures! From photo No. 7 it would appear that the cessna (sic) has veered off 06 runway.There was a strong westerly blowing about that time, could it be a down wind landing?

turboplanner Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 They can be a handful with an upwind landing if there are gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rankamateur Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 We just have to accept that Cessna is media-speak for high-wing light aircraft. He was very near the end of the downwind runway, so maybe more likely was landing into the wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 VASIS lights are designed to break off easily. Damage to them would impose restrictions on some types of arriving aircraft. Might have to nominate an alternate after dark. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quentas Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Cessna flips=crushed tail write off. Jab flips=bent pitot tube. I am always amazed at the strength Jabs in a crash. Im glad the pilot is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Cessna flips=crushed tail write off. Jab flips=bent pitot tube. I am always amazed at the strength Jabs in a crash. Im glad the pilot is ok. One of the problems with composite structures quentas, internal damage or delaminations often not visible externally, especially down the road to another buyer. The only indication may be a log book entry showing the 'crash/damage history of the aircraft. I can guarantee you that if it went on its back there'll be more than a bent pitot !.............

quentas Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 When they are repaired, they are quite often a bit heavier. I heard one repairer say they never break in the same spot after the repairs..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
