Arnhem Land - Helicopter Bird Strike - 14 July 2025
BrendAn replied to SGM's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
it would have scared sh#t out of you wouldn't it. did it come through your windscreen. i have heard of a truck in wa that had a wedgetail eagle come through the windscreen and was still alive in the cabin. trouble with them is they feed on roadkill and don't move fast enough when you get near them. -
my fuel drain valve drips after i do a fuel check. do i have to replace it or just change an o ring. i have never looked at one before but in pictures it looks like there is an o ring on the end of it.

Pilot mental health in spotlight after Air India Flight 171 disaster ©REUTERSCaptain Mohan Ranganathan, a leading aviation safety expert in India, has revealed that 'several' Air India pilots had allegedly confirmed that the well-experienced pilot had suffered from poor mental health. Speaking to The Daily Telegraph , he claimed: 'He had taken time off from flying in the last three to four years. He had taken medical leave for that. Captain Sabharwal is also understood to have taken bereavement leave after the death of his mother, though it is believed by Mr Ranganathan that he had been 'medically cleared' by Air India prior to the fatal crash last month.

Pilot mental health in spotlight after Air India Flight 171 disaster©Daily Mail Investigations into the Air India plane crash are looking into the pilots' medical records as it's claimed one of them had depression and mental health issues. Captain Sumeet Sabharwal, an experienced pilot with more than 8,200 hours in the cockpit, was piloting the Boeing 787 Dreamliner when it plummeted into a residential area, called Meghani Nagar, killing 241 people on board and claiming 19 more lives of those on the ground.

pilots that dress in lycra fly really slow around the cicuit giving the bird to the planes trying to get around them.

An experienced pilot turns both switches off by mistake . I don't think so. And they can't be bumped off either as Juan stated.

I mean why would there 2 fuel cutoff switches so easy to access. I thought there would be some sort of safety lockout
-
It amazes me that those switches are even there.

there was a good documentary on the comet investigation. wasn't that the start of major accident investigations. i don't think anything so thorough had been done before.
