Would appreciate if you could let me know the name of that app.

Ditto would really appreciate some photos if possible Russ.

Yep can of worms open and no airspeed does not change. Really important for all to understand but I will leave that to perhaps Motz to comment. Maybe new thread.

Yep thanks for the sauce Motz!

My understanding is you would not lose airspeed with the change of wind direction but your ground speed would increase? Could be the subject for a new thread but just thought I would open it up for discussion as it is an important point to understand. Have I got it wrong? I am sure others more experienced than me may like to comment.

Another one showing European airspace and 30,000 flights for the day. I had no idea the number would be that big! Best to watch in full screen. [MEDIA=vimeo]88093956[/MEDIA]

Here's a link to NATS blog explaining more. http://nats.aero/blog/2014/11/take-guided-tour-uk-skies/

Amazing to watch! [MEDIA=vimeo]110348926[/MEDIA]

Yep agreed. Link below. https://www.raa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Summary-of-changes-Issue-7.pdf

When you open this short video, view it in full screen. When passengers boarded this plane bound for San Francisco, they never could've guessed what they would encounter near the tail-end of the flight. During the flight, just off the left wing — as visible in the video — there emerges a totally futuristic aircraft. What was it? Virgin Galactic's brand new SpaceShipTwo and its mothership plane, the White Knight II. Even more impressive, the aptly named SpaceShipTwo (it literally goes into space) executed a parallel landing with the commercial airliner http://www.chonday.com/Videos/jegalctospc2

In relation to the medical requirements for a RPL the standard is a Recreational Aviation Medical Practitioner’s Certificate (RAMPC). The link to the form is in my first post on this thread. This was originally supposed to be a simple drivers licence standard but has morphed into a higher requirement. If you have any issues that would preclude you from passing the RAMPC you will need to go down the class 2 path. A class 2 would also allow you to obtain a PPL. I'll let someone else address the training requirements.

Thanks Peter for the reply. Glad you agree re the anomalies. Looks like I will go down the Class 2 path.

H Hi Neil, Sorry for the delay getting back to you as I just woke up. Must have been the big night on the drugs! Seriously, I too scratch my head regarding this form. Can't believe the ambiguity and lack of clarity. Saw my cardiologist last night for a stress test which was all good. He said passing a Class 2 will be no problem so will go down that path.

http://www.casa.gov.au/WCMSwr/_assets/main/manuals/regulate/misc/form166.pdf Following on from another thread that had drifted I thought I would start another specific thread. Reading this form is not making a lot of sense and I am sure doctor's and pilots alike will be confused. I am RA-Aus current and considering resurrecting my PPL down the RPL path. Problem is I had a stent inserted seven years ago. No heart attack but luckily found the blocked artery in advance of any issues. I have a stress test every 12-18 months only as a precaution and never had another issue. Reading this form I would answer yes to Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (angioplasty) and be an instant fail and would then have the option to apply for a Class 2 medical. However, according to page 3, point 3, if I had experienced a heart attack seven years ago and been under same constant care I would not meet the definition of heart failure and be eligible to pass. I am afraid I'm missing something so would appreciate if others could have a read of this form. It also bangs on about basal cell skin cancer (non life threatening) on Page 2 and how it could rule you out unless you meet the ongoing care requirements but then on Page 13 - Have you had Cancer - Yes/No (excluding basal cell carcinoma). Go figure?

Interesting jetjr re increasing what you can hear from the engine. I was considering upgrading to ANR but was concerned about this so will now reassess.

OME, with respect I think you have missed the point of this article. It's not trying to sell anything, quite the contrary, the writer is explaining the history and misunderstanding of trying to chase EGT readings. The reason I posted this, and as alluded to by Daffyd, is the misinformation that exists regarding understanding these readings. The GAMI spread is the key factor.

A good read I would think. Sure to 'spark' some discussion! http://www.gami.com/articles/egt_myths.pdf

What are the implications of not turning the fuel tap off on shutdown? If no negatives takes a potential error out of the equation.

I would like to point out that your original question was around "compression problems" to which I provided you the courtesy of a reply. Your follow-up comment to another post states that your reason for asking me was in regard to recent discussions around qualifications. I was going to let this go through to the keeper but I would now like to mention that I have gained a lot of knowledge from this site and appreciated the time and willingness of others to provide information. Asking "cryptic" questions and wasting my time may satisfy your insecurities but it does no justice to the many fine contributors on this site.

Thanks I had just looked at that model and thought it might be more suitable as in 12mm thread size.

Ok I think clearer now as there was some confusion with mention of adaptor sizes relating to socket or thread size. Want to use a T Bar so if I order one of these which is 12 mm thread: https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/extension12mm.php and this tester https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/cylpresse2a.php should be on the right track other than may need some fittings.

Thanks looks good. Will the thread fit the Jabiru or do I need an adaptor?

Thanks for that. Much appreciated!

Thanks for that. Had a look and not sure which one it is. Would you be able to have a look and post the link?
