  1. I can take this to my instructor and see what he has to say :)

    Please let use know, I've had both views insisted on by two different CFI's. If it is - or could become - busy I personally stay at circuit height for most of downwind at least to avoid the potential danger of over-flyers. In most aircraft it's only a couple of minutes folks and in a high wing the view above is quite limited.

  2. it turned out he only held a Ukranian driving licence, issued in 1946... and he'd been driving in Australia since about 1948, when he emigrated here.

    This is practically the norm for Asian students. I know one who has been here for about 6 years & still on a Chinese license including doing commercial interstate deliveries. Others are driving taxis & only have an Indian license.

     

    And you know what? I tend to agree with Bruce here it doesn't seem to matter much. Not seen a big spate of accidents. Bureaucrats made our system so difficult to legitimately get a drivers license (75 hours on L's etc) I don't blame them at all.

  3. I would fit everyone of those and yet one of the happiest people you could know.

    Terrific, glad to hear you are always happy Bex. These are just some factors to look at for those that suffer from depression or similar. I would still encourage even happy folk to look at these factors though, as you age health becomes ever more important.

     

    Links pls.

    You'd need to search Pearo as I don't have this on hand but the info is certainly out there. On the first one if you suffer significant stress you can feel physically ill; researchers were surprised to discover recently it works the other way too. Much still to learn about this connection.

  4. What about Andrew Broad? He ought to be some use on aviation issues, don't think he will be commenting on same sex marriage again soon, might give him something to come back with.

    Yes Andrew would be good. No reason he shouldn't talk about marriage or anything else if he wishes to, years ago people were free to have their own opinions. Seems like a radical idea now.
