rdarby Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Why is the registration obscured? Is it 8525? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru7252 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Holy Moly, seems not a surface has been left undamaged. Let's hope the pilot recovers quickly and tells us what happened rather than us making guesses and/or relying on bad press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head in the clouds Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 do believe it is I don't think it is, unless they've used a different font for the rego on each side.The undamaged one has italicized numerals, the damaged one doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very observant however trolling the net for images of 7190 brings up both styles of numerals on the aircraft. the happy flyer photo is a much older photo, re the old windsock and the Cessna parked in the background.

Bennyboy320 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 Why is the registration obscured? The same reason they obscure number plates on cars after an accident, relatives etc have not been informed yet, nothing sinister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexrbetter Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Bloody aeroplanes are to treesAs golf balls are to water traps. There's a name for that, a psychology term when drawn towards something you see and fear without your control, anyone know it? Next time you see the water trap, think of all the happy times swimming, playing, fishing, etc, otherwise in water, until it has equal standing with to where you want to hit to and then you won't unconsciously be drawn towards it. You're welcome, Dr Bex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 ............ target fixation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Bloody aeroplanes are to treesAs golf balls are to water traps. Works that way for parachutes, too: I once saw a student land in the only (dead) tree for miles, out the back of Cairns.Well, his canopy landed in the tree; he himself bounced resoundingly off the corrugated iron dunny nailed to the base of it...

IBob Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 ............ target fixation ? I think target fixation is where you're quite happy with the 'target'?It's one (possible) symptom of hypoxia. I've seen it on a high altitude course: at 25000ft equivalent, some people will insist on continuing what they are doing (various physical and computational tests) despite repeated instructions to put the oxygen mask on. And they'll snatch back the clipboard or demand that the attendant continues monitoring their physical tests. It's quite funny to watch, but also an awful reminder to trim for descent....( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w3stie Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 There's a name for that, a psychology term when drawn towards something you see and fear without your control, anyone know it?Dr Bex. Fixation perhaps. I did a driver training day with Paul Stokell at Morgan Park where they teach you ( among other things ), the skill of looking through the corners, not at the wall rapidly heading your way. The reason is of course, that you tend to steer in the direction you're looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
