    imagine his dog trying to drag a hummelbird back to shore.

    I would have thought gearbox seizing or bearing failure would have to be looked at too.

    Probably not a lot of call for one. Be more exciting than watching dull fw aeros though.

    Many gyro pilots died in the early days due to mast bump. Hughie pilots were trained to avoid it too. There is a bell training video on YouTube.

    Neg g bump is a 2 blade rotor problem due to the teeter rotor heads. I think you will find aerobatic choppers have 3 blade rotors.

    I never compared fw . It's obvious choppers can't win that one. Just saying the accident rate is still extremely low for them. Look at the weather the rescue and police choppers went out in during the severe storm that hit the Sydney to Hobart that time. Winds gusting 100 mph and these blokes were holding station over dismasted yachts. Pretty impressive.

    You are the fact hunter, how about putting up statistics instead of your own view. If you have a look you will see it's around 3.7 accidents per million hours, that's all incidents not just fatalities.

    Ok, but we are talking about a very small organisation. They don't have the revenue or the people for all these positions you talk about. We just need a simple , honest and efficient system to administer light aircraft. I would love to see a seperate organisation for sub 80 knot aircraft.

    How many chopper flight hours per year compared to accidents. The percentage would be very small I imagine.

    What's the point of these long-winded posts about what other companies do.

    If people want to talk they will. You come up with wild theory's about everything why can't we.

    I think this court case is a just one of the problems raa is facing at the moment. L2 s and instructors are leaving because it is getting too hard and expensive.

    People are allowed to comment nev. You don't own the site.😁

    You do you what you want nev

    yes the comfort plus upgrade. you need to apply to raa for a rooftop camper marap unless your aircraft has an approval from the factory. check your paperwork for an rtc stc

    so you would be happy to pay a fee for flying over an airfield at 9500 ft.
  21. BrendAn
    these are comfortable but only suitable for high wing aircraft🤣

    pretty sure hiding documents that were detrimental to raa staff would be considered criminal acts , it can't negligent when it was intended surely.

    a good example of stored energy in a flywheel would be inertia starters used on radial engines.

    I don't know anyone with a school. Not sure what you mean.
