  1. Is it really that far fetched. A couple of years ago no one would have believed Elon musk could get a rocket to return to base and land ready for another trip. And aviation is still in its infancy, who knows what can be done in the future.
  2. It's amazing to me that the telluride Airstrip in the video is 2000 feet higher than mt Kosciusko.
  3. i probably put it in the wrong thread
  4. interesting video from hoover about an accident in high terrain.
  5. my dream aircraft. one day. i like your aussie caravan in the background.
  6. xair is a brilliant ultralight. still in production. heaps of room in the cockpit.
  7. albany had the best airshow i have been to but when the main organiser died in a heli training accident the show stopped too. it was a shame to lose such a great event on the south coast.
  8. I was only joking. I like it. The bits I have seen anyway.
  9. I only knew because the blokes in the hangar opposite were getting their sabre jet ready to take off for tyabb. Not much advertising for it. Yet they are advertising the sale airshow and that is a food truck fest. Hardly any aircraft to look at.
  10. The technology is well and truly here to enable airlines to operate without pilots, the problem is who would want to travel on a pilotless aircraft.
  11. When training we adjust the qnh to what atis says and then compare Efis alt against steam altimeter. It would be rare for bothe to fail at the same time.
  12. whats wrong with that, 1300 amsl is probably 1000ft agl
  13. could it possibly be a medical issue. just seems very strange. i know everyone thinks it only happens to old people but not always.
  14. yes. some of them have an emergency chute that they throw out by hand . Do paramotors have a reserve parachute? Cheap Insurance. Reserve parachutes are an absolute must-have in paramotoring - that is completely non-negotiable on our team.
