    Flew down final into Jakarta in a Lion Air 737, the aircraft was banking 45 degrees either way. All the way down final, that late I thought it was going to scrape a wingtip. I refused to fly Lion Air after that so I travelled Sriwijaya Air!!!!!!! The flight crew start smoking as soon as they sit down, you can smell it throughout the flight and while they taxi in.

    Why do most threads these days turn into PP?

    Me too, always been made about the Porters since I saw one in the late 60's I think it was. It was the Snowy one. The Army sold them at knock down prices.

    You exaggerate Captain Gaz, only approaching 25 in my log book!

    I think I have done maybe 10 good landings. By good landings I mean one where the wheels just start spinning up and you can't feel the aircraft contact the runway. Aircraft also has to be on the centreline and touchdown in the perfect spot where you just roll through to the taxiway without excessive braking. Every time I land I try to do better.

    Doesn't mean much in Indo, maintenance records are as fictional as their pilots experience.

    Don't start the debate about using flaps in a sideslip Nev 😁

    You have an undercover swimming pool in your house? I met Chucky when he came out to Oz a few years ago, he was a "different" fellow, his wife Victoria seemed nice.

    I thought the idea was to fly balanced?

    All good advice, I doubt anybody teaches sideslips anymore.

    Keep it tracking straight down the runway seems to work best, if it veers use rudder to get it back in the middle. Tailwheel, nosewheel works with either.

    This stuff hurts my head.......................I don't understand the theory, does that make me a bad pilot? I know if you get too slow you get in trouble, I know how to turn low and slow is that enough? Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass, about 1.67 × 10-24 grams, which scientists define as one atomic mass unit (amu) or one Dalton, Positively charged subatomic particle forming part of the nucleus of an atom and determining the atomic number of an element. It weighs 1 amu. Discuss....................

    What happened to the Replica you talk of Nev? Last I heard it was stored. The fellows that were flying it when the wheel fell off should have been given a kick up the arse. They held the wing as high as they could after it touched down on the remaining mainwheel. When the wing stalled it fell heavily and broke the spar. That machine would have landed about 45 knots, if they'd have let it down gently they mightn't have even taken any paint off!!

    I'll leave it to you then Turbo to ask "clear and concise reasonable questions" to CASA. I have never "Sprayed" questions to the CASA PR department. If I've had questions (concise AND reasonable) they have always been directed to the relevant person. 40 years working as a commercial pilot and half of that time running an aviation business, I've had enough of Casa and have as little to do with them as I can.

    The old film of Fokker Triplanes taking off shows them airborne in about 50 metres
