red750 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 A report in the Daily Mail states that a light aircraft has crashed at Tygalgah NSW. The report states the pilot was rushed to hospital with minor injuries. The accompanying photo shows an airborne Cessna 210 Centuion with New Zealand registration, so this is likely a stock photo. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12632243/Tygalgah-plane-crash-Pilot-rushed-hospital.html?ito=social-facebook 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFguy Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 how good is the ADSB coverage in the region at ground level- is this the termination of flight, or just the ADSB coverage limitation ? glen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADSB registers on the ground at YMUR, Tygalgah is just north of YMUR though.

ClintonB Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Cessna 40 degree flap go arounds are not easy, even with an instructor sitting next to you, every move has to be thought about. Pretty easy to stuff up. 20 months without flying I need an instructor soon, bloody asic almost due and not even exercised, bfr are out on both RPC and RPL. I need some time, anyone got some spare to sell. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some might demonstrate a short field landing but require a clean up before the round out, others don't say a thing. All in all its a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFguy Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Recovering from a go around from flare or partial touchdown with 40 deg flap in the PA28 requires a sequenced staged operation. 1) full power, control the slight pitch up , get aircraft stable and flying in ground effect,. You'll quickly find she wont get much over T.O.S.S. like that........ That you struggle to accelerate at all .......and that it wont make more than 70 kts should be the wakeup call ... 2) once you have the thing flying again, get rid of one stage flap back to 25. now it will climb, needs another nose / trim adjustment , and so on. The lack of acceleration , let alone any climb at full throttle should be an INSTANT alarm bell. NOT something you have to think about, needs to be INSTANT alarm bell in your head. And curency drives that. You know how it 'usually feels'. There's a bunch of things I can list that MUST be instant reaction without having to think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I go throttle full forward check carb heat and fly in ground effect till you can get the speed you need. I think the Hi wing Cessna flaps are the most "draggy" at 40 degrees and had been locked out. . Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFguy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Jabirus once had more flap but they , with an SB , reduced it (from 40 back to 30 etc) because it was said to "increase drag and not generate any more lift" I argue that sometimes you might want that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did what Facthunter said and kept WOT pushed the stick forward and ground out in ground effect before easing the 40 deg flap off. Another person in the same aircraft did much the same and died, destroying the aircraft. I suspect the 30 degree limit would have taken the sting out of my problem.

RFguy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I wonder if that was post the service bulletin. . interesting. I think the big drag flap might assist a short fielder. but maybe it screws up other aspects. Wasnt just the J170 it applied to, think also applied to J200 , early J230 JSB029 1,2 "Reducing maximum flap deflection. Testing showed that the final stages of the flap movement produced no significant effect on the aircraft’s stall speed but had a slight negative effect on the aircraft’s handling at low speeds."

I had the exciting experience of the rudder pedal blocks which locked the nose wheel, usually where your wing was close to another wing, and I had the free helicopter rotation when there was a strong coastal breeze and you were out of rudder authority......all fixed. 1 hour ago, RFguy said: I think the big drag flap might assist a short fielder. but maybe it screws up other aspects. Yes it did, there was never a long float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
