There’s a zillion of these donks in operation world wide, if half the old wives tales here mattered there’d be busted donks littering the countryside😂 They sure are one tuff donk as many are in the abusive training environment👍

Vs is the minimum flying speed in a particular configuration, with careful control inputs the plane should be able to fly anywhere you want it to go at the stall speed. Stall warnings like an aural warning go off well before the actual stall, that’s why during a normal short field (or any landing for that matter) landing the stall warning should be blaring away to produce a min ground roll.

A lot of plane drivers bag Airbus, you know….plastic fantastic, not a real man’s plane etc, well when I went on the bus and drove it around for a few months I was hooked! Providing you understand the French oddities it’s a breeze to drive👍

Airbus, way of the future, RIP Boeing!😂

I took a plane into YMIA recently (been many years) and was surprised at the gaggle of Cessna’s etc parked on the apron off taxiway E. What a waste! Australia is just a southern state of China anyway, we would be screwed without them!

I’ve always maintained that it’s too easy to get a plane drivers ticket & even easier to keep it by way of poor checking! BFR/AFR’s need to be a lot tougher and not a box ticking exercise! From the day we got our plane drivers ticket it’s been a downhill slide skill wise for many! Since retiring and driving planes (commercially) part time I’ve had the opportunity to go with a few private drivers, me shakes me head, often! ,

Why look out to try and see something you can’t (the Rwy) by putting undue risk into the equation? Turn 90(+- wind allowance) initially via the DG/compass then once established on base continue with that pilot shit so many are not capable of!!

Like a couple of others in here you’ll just have to wonder if I’m a pilot or not, it’s entertaining though😂😂😉👍

At the end of the day……don’t stall, don’t spin, simple basic words👍

Oh I luv the Ruskies driving vids, the best there is, makes the Aussie dash cam stuff look like a bunch of girls!😂

At least these fools are entertaining😂 Seems like everything stupid is made in America!

Somewhere down in that muck is cesspool Melb! nice day for a drive in the sky but dirty-(

You can rebuild a plane from the ID plate up!👍

That corny saying ‘in the good old days’ fits well with BDV these days! Went there numerous times in the 80’s, we were all so pissed with bodies lying everywhere that nobody remembers anything other than everything was free other than food and race entry! like most things in Australia, stupidity from certain morons destroy the fun factor due pure greed.

It really is pie in the sky stuff but entertaining 😂👍

The lift vector is no longer acting against gravity, the A/P will manipulate the elevator in order to create zero lift in any direction. Look at the recent China B737 that was captured on video going vertically down, my guess in that case was the plane was being manipulated, pilot suicide! In the stunt the same input is being created.

I don’t know how I ever got thru flying a zillion hours behind old Conty’s & Lyc’s with barely an oil pressure gauge!😂

Syd sure has spectacular waterways! Love driving planes in and out of there when everyone is away holidaying, tomorrow they can have it to themselves!😂

The Earth is actually flat, these are just optical illusions 😉👍

Lots of standing water Northern NSW, yesterday.

I heard a new 915 is just short of $60K! Ouch! An engine doesn’t know it’s close to TBO, don’t mention it to the donk and keep flying😉

How did we ever survive pre digital when GA was flourishing? I use both OZ & AV, both have their advantages but to me OZ is simpler if flying grass roots, AV much better for IFR planing etc. Driving heavy metal OCTA into Ctafs is a risk, an acceptable risk, this event has been hyped up a fair bit I reckon!

The most tragic part about this event is that it didn’t need to happen!😞 I feel for the pax, they had no say in their demise😞. Sadly it will happen again😞

That’s very brave😉👍
