Long before all this I decided I would not fly on an indian crewed aircraft, not saying it was crew mistakes in this case, but there are just too many instances of poor behaviour and crap CRM in Indian flight crews Maybe my perception is not valid but its my persona position

Silly contraptions.

That there has been not even a hint of grounding airframes for any checks is at this point telling. Certainly if no such recommendation comes in the next few days then Boeing will be relieved

A very long time since I've seen a 912 with those boxed ignitions, looks like a proper job on the mount

Could you explain this comment?, from my understanding a blocked vent would restrict movement of the diaphragm which would reduce flow/pressure to some extent how would this cause a pressure rise? sorry If I'm misreading your comment

Having moved my Oil cooler to a position that allows its own air intake instead of piggybacked behind the Coolant radiator, I now have the opposite problem of over cooling the oil. cant get max above 80c so will have to blank some of the oil cooler probably use neoprene wrap...not a problem But allong with the low max temps its also taking ages to reach temp before flying so I'm gonna fit a thermostat. (thermostasis unit) Was just wondering do any of you guys fit them?, or are your ambient temps high enough that warm up is hardly ever a concern?

Theres been a number of flights between interested parties along the persian gulf recently, no doubt high ranking officials involved in various talks. They will be coordinated with Israel and Iran and protected by the forces in the gulf. ETD is an etihad flight the UAE airline One flew right up the middle of Iran yesterday which seemed extraordinary

Sorry, what comment?

Looks like an early Hermes 900, I believe current fitment has been upgraded to Rotax 916IS

structurally thats a very efficient design triangle are good. Aerodynamically, probably not so great

The picture is an obvious joke, mainly at the expense of the Cherokee, its not supposed to be an accurate performance chart

Thought I might be being a bit harsh so just watched another of his titled as an in depth analysis of an E 175 Gear incident, he makes assumptions as to what the crew did and then explains an emergency gear down system that this aircraft doesnt even have I'll give him 5/10

I've seen a few of this guys videos posted here now, Can't say I find him much of an analyst he just seems to repeat obvious stuff.

My father en-route to NZ had a stop off in Chicago some years ago (dont remember what airline). The barely trained monkeys there kept him detained for 4 hours as he could not produce the required thumbprint from both hands and therefore the box on the form could not be ticked My father had lost one arm in an accident 30 years before. I have good friends in America and have travelled some there mostly west coast, I'll see what happens in 4 years time before considering further visits

Actually looking at that pic it isnt even a Westland Whirlwind anyway, lol ...ball of confusion ...aah got it now its a WESTLAND WELKIN Apologies for the multi posts...it was the Wessex thing that got me started on my confused ramble
