  1. I thought the CHT was an issue because as it rises it stops the valve dissipating heat
  2. isn't the exhaust valve the weak link?

  6. Mackay wins Second Qantas Academy 5 July 2019 Comments 0 Comments Qantas has stuck with its spiritual home state and selected Mackay as the site of its second training academy. The airline announced today that Queensland would host both academies after the first was established at Wellcamp Airport in Toowoomba. Qantas Group Pilot Academy Executive Manager, Wes Nobelius, said the airport would be an ideal place to train the next generation of pilots. “Mackay offers optimal flying conditions and a sunny Queensland lifestyle which makes it an ideal site for a pilot academy,” he said. “It’s home to good infrastructure, a proud community – even a new, state-of-the-art sport and recreation precinct for students, trainers and their families. We were really moved by the way locals came together with the #MackayWantsYouQantas campaign. “Our initial focus is opening the first Pilot Academy site in Toowoomba and rapidly expanding the number of pilots there next year, before we progress our plans for Mackay.” Nobelius said Mackay was chosen after a process that whittle potential site down from more than 60 to just two. “To the remaining six shortlisted cities – we thank all of you for taking part. If we could have placed a Pilot Academy in every one of your cities, we would have,” added Mr Nobelius. “We know these proposals took a great deal of time and effort, but it gave us insight into your community and plenty of ideas for where we can grow in the future.” The short-listed airports were Alice Springs, Bendigo, Busselton, Dubbo, Launceston, Mackay and Wagga Wagga. Qantas started life in the 1920s as Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services based in Longreach, QLD.

  13. none of the military stuff is certified but there are plenty flying over built up areas. I think there is an official prejudice against auto conversions
  14. Uber tend to break the law when they have too. Pay off a few politicians and senior PS to delay any prosecution long enough to get their business up and running
  15. prototype finished, about to start test flying
  16. Uber proves the old adage that if you are big and rich enough, normal rules don't apply
  17. MAX Fixes Will Take Until At Least September, Boeing Says Jun 27, 2019 Sean Broderick Boeing WASHINGTON—Boeing will need at least until September to address a new flight control computer (FCC) issue and wrap up changes needed to get the fleet flying again, Aviation Week has learned. The issue came to light during engineering simulator tests with FAA test pilots during the week of June 17. During a runaway horizontal stabilizer troubleshooting procedure, FAA determined that line pilots would need more time to correctly diagnose the failure and execute the appropriate checklist. The tests also showed that a computer chip malfunction could lead to uncommanded stabilizer movement during the emergency procedure. FAA told Boeing to address the issues, and the manufacturer is complying. “We are working through the software update and the potential implications for the timeline for the safe return to service of the 737 MAX fleet and resuming MAX deliveries,” a Boeing executive told Aviation Week. “Our current assessment is we will submit our final certification package to the FAA in the September timeframe.” Boeing is confident that the latest issues can be addressed with software changes. The alternative—replacing computer chips on more than 500 MAXs—could prolong a worldwide grounding that started in mid-March. Boeing is modifying specific FCC software linked to two 737 MAX accident sequences within five months. The second accident, the Mar. 10 crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, triggered the global grounding. The software changes focus on the MAX’s maneuvering characteristics augmentation system (MCAS), which helps the MAX mimic the flight characteristic of its 737 Next Generation predecessor in certain scenarios. The latest FCC issue is not believed to be linked to the proposed MCAS changes.
  18. the standard deal the QLD government offers new mines is 5 years royalties holiday
  19. lovely photos, the problem with mining is that as you can see by the photos, the rules aren't being enforced and the mining company can just walk away leaving the mess and the mine to rot. neither party cares about the environment anymore
  20. Uber know they can't get into a market without doing their due diligence

  22. Tourism supercharged as rival organisations merge TOURISM in Southern Queensland Country will be supercharged after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between former rival industry organisations Southern Queensland Country Tourism and Tourism Darling Downs. SQCT chair Associate Professor Jane Summers said the organisations intended to join forces to develop one powerful and unified voice for the region's tourism industry. "TDD and SQCT have pursued different areas of focus over the past few years, always with the common goal to grow tourism across the region," Dr Summers said. "Both organisations agree the time is right to now combine expertise and resources to further boost the region's ability to explore new opportunities for tourism operators and stakeholders." TDD chair John Wagner said commercial negotiations required to bring the organisations together were completed and he anticipated a combined entity could be operational as early as July 1, 2019. "Together we will develop a well-funded and highly focused strategic plan for tourism in our region, to be implemented by a committed and focussed team under the direction of an experienced and well-credentialled board," Mr Wagner said. "The interests of the current members of TDD and partners of SQCT will be supported as our groups combine and I urge businesses and stakeholders in the region to get behind our new-look regional tourism organisation." Both chairs welcomed the appointment of experienced tourism professional Peter Homan from July 8, 2019 as chief executive officer of the newly united tourism organisation under the existing SQCT banner. "The goal for this united regional tourism organisation is to deliver tangible results for its partners and to expose the Southern Queensland Country brand to new and larger markets," Mr Homan said. "Bringing together the best ideas from both organisations gives us a very solid platform for growth." Dr Summers and Mr Wagner announced the MoU ahead of the Escape the Ordinary masterclass, an industry event to be jointly hosted by the two organisations in Toowoomba on Monday, June 24. Minister for Innovation and Tourism Industry Development Kate Jones will attend the masterclass, along with the winner of Tourism and Events Queensland's iconic Best Job in the World campaign, Ben Southall. "Southern Queensland Country is a wonderfully diverse region offering plenty of rich experiences to travellers," Ms Jones said. "With epic landscapes, thriving rural communities and delicious local produce, there really is something for everyone to enjoy in this unique part of Queensland. "The work of local operators in partnership with Tourism and Events Queensland will continue to grow awareness of this beautiful region and the many experiences available to visitors here." Southern Queensland Country has experienced an 18% boost in visitation with 2 million people coming to the region since the regional tourism organisation was founded seven years ago. Both Dr Summers and Mr Wagner agreed a redefined approach combined with a reinvigorated team could be the catalyst to unlocking the region's enormous tourism potential. Another victory for the Wagners ??
