  1. The seat power on / off switches are located inboard at the base of the seat backs.
  2. The B787 autopilot has an over ride / disconnect function. ie if you provide a decent input the AP will disconnect.
  3. Ian, most pilots trained over the past 30 years probably couldn’t spell QFE, let alone define it and T hey’d need an APP to work it out.
  4. The ATSB report shows about a 1NM downwind spacing, doesn’t seem “so wide”. Having flown there a few times myself, I’d say the spacing was pretty normal for Camden operators.
  5. The 1400’ is an ADSB return and is based on 1013Hpa, corrected for QNH comes in at around 1300’ AMSL. The descent speed of 130KTS is a ground speed, given it was descending at a rather steep angle the IAS would have been significantly higher.
  6. A ground loop is more likely on a sealed runway, ground loops can be way more expensive than rubber.
  7. Agree, what I don’t agree with is the suggestion the aircraft landed with the “brakes locked on touchdown”.
  8. Stick position can correlate to exceeding the critical angle. The “stall stick position” seems to be gathering momentum at a similar rate to the Beggs Muller spin recovery technique, which I see as a dangerous trend. There are a number of factors where the critical angle can be exceeded without achieving the “SSP”. CofG and gusts being a couple. How would a pilot respond differently in the case described in this post given it had / had not stalled?
  9. It could be, but highly unlikely. They can be a handful on sealed runways. The clowns running council airports see operations on the grass within the flight strip akin to hoons tearing up grass on their precious footy fields. They fail to understand these aircraft were designed to operate from grass / gravel fields and don’t comprehend the physics associated with tailwheel airplanes. I’ll guarantee this incident would not have happened had he been landing on the grass to the west of RWY 34.
