Old Koreelah Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Thing have been going well, I haven't had a scare for quite a while. Complacency has set in. If something suddenly goes wrong, will I make the right moves? How do I train for the unexpected? Harness myself into the aircraft and react appropriately as someone randomly shouts out scenarios from flash cards. flock of cockatoos directly ahead engine bay fire bird strike - prop unbalanced bird strike - wing fabric ripped open engine splutters and runs rough another aircraft approaching head on electrical failure engine stops dead electrical fire in cockpit oil leak obscuring windscreen elevator jammed Any more suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 No worries OK I can organise a scare for you:thumb up: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Lol no I meant OK as in Old Koreela:nod: He said he hasn't had a scare for quite a while but I know for certain that that isn't the truth! He was a passenger in a car I was driving just the other day so has definitely had a scare recently! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Still no fee, best flying location there is. Good weather plenty of paddock options:thumb up: Always more than welcome to pop through and say g'day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Not fly? Are you touting the CASA solution, Cpt W? I've added engine failure during takeoff, climb out, approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSCBD Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Answer from Human Factors hidden section (did you not get the memo) - Take an two anxiety pills and one antidepressant, then a drink a bottle of red and go to bed. You THEN only have to worry if the bed rotates and you fall out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDQDI Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 my instructor gave me flash card and instruction to open when i got to the training area. i should get my wife to write some. but i have some concerns about that idea that's a good idea, I only gave it a funny thinking of the wife. Old K maybe we should get together and write each other some flash cards and organise a morning to go through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roundsounds Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Here's a few: Door pops open just on lift off Door pops open on final approach ASI stops increasing at say climb speed minus 10 knots ASI freezes at cruise speed Tacho fails in flight Decreasing oil pressure, but no change in oil temp / power Electric fuel gauges drop to zero 1 hour into a flight with 4 hours endurance Aircraft starts rolling when raising or extending flaps Total electrical system failure Alternator fails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Koreelah Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Thanks, people. I thought this old thread had been forgotten. I recently had a total electrical failure. First one ever, so my response was far from practiced. As I'd only lost the engine instruments it was not a major problem; I can fly pretty safely without them, but as a precaution I landed to sort it out. After wasting an hour looking for someone with a multimeter, a passing aviator took an interest. He quickly noticed something I'd missed: the bloody main circuit breaker had popped out. First time in the ten years since I installed it and then forgotten it. I'd left the landing lights on too long after takeoff. How embarrassment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
