    Yeah, ok.... We (all of us) are now making this a pissing contest. It happened. People died. How it EXACTLY happened: no one will ever know. But we need to learn from it. I hope that doesn't mean we all have to fly million dollar planes. (to say)

    Has CASA looked at the radios of both planes yet? (Ah, the old days when you had dials to set the radio frequency. These days you need to apply power to the radio as the frequency is shown on the display.) 😉
  3. flying dog
    (Not at thruster88) So if the Cessna was in the circuit why wasn't it on the Oaks frequency?
  4. flying dog
    How do I do that - please. Don't worry. Worked it out. For anyone who is interested:

    Facthunter..... Yes, I agree. But it is/are these things which contribute to things happening. It is not THE cause of the accident, but they are factors which align the holes in the cheese. That with other factors allow nasty things to happen. Well..... There are time when it does make the big plane crash... (Oh, I miss AirCrash Investigations)

    I so much agree with you onetrack. The CFI is testing you and he is concentrating on doing that. When near airports this can lead to task overload on both parties. More of the Swiss cheese holes lining up.

    Sorry? "I'm pretty sure its the plane I am thinking of but I might be wrong" Only you know that answer. 🤷‍♂️

    I am sure the number will come out as time goes by.

    My take is the QANTAS pilot was flying the Cessna 182. The Jab was in a prang a year ago.... Not that that is really relevant..... I think that is the news trying to sensationalise something. And AFAIK, the other people have not been identified or named. 19:19 Sydney time.
  10. flying dog
    Well, asred750 just said: Where did you get your news?
  11. flying dog
    Just heard one of the pilots was an ex QANTAS pilot (sorry, no more details.)

    Was watching a clip on youtube. This was funny.

    so ideally the Cessna should've been at 2500 feet AMSL when over flying the oaks. Does the flight track mentioned above give altitude of the Cessna? That seems to be a very interesting part of the puzzle.
  14. flying dog
    interesting observations from what I've heard: If the jabiru had only just taken off how is such a large flight track shown on the history from the flight tracker? Why was the Cessna flying so low if going to Wollongong. They should have been at least 1500 AGL when flying over the oaks. It would be interesting to see if both aircraft radios were on the oaks frequency or on Sydney radar frequency. If they were not both on the same frequency, then neither would have known of the other plane in the vicinity.

    So I wonder where it (The vampire) landed?
  18. flying dog
    Saw it on the news. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/16/qantas-flight-qf71-perth-airport-damage-repairs And on youtube Ooops! I think someone will need to explain why this happened.

    I started to watch that. It looked good and good on the guy who is trying to do it. But he babbles on and on and on and repeats himself so many times, it is painful to watch.
  21. flying dog
  22. flying dog
    Ah. Yeah, but when I saw it, it was like at 3000 feet and climbing.
  23. flying dog
    I was walking and heard it taking off. Looked up. Yeah, Jumbo. Cathay Pacific. CPA 3128 As I was looking I noticed it did NOT have the turn ups at the wing tips. So it is/was a CLASSIC. Wow!
  24. flying dog
    So it would seem that since 1988.... ? When I did my BAK, things have changed. Ok. So why weren't those links posted originally in the replies? Yes, but (unless they have two time zones in that area) I will get ONE answer. Not "It depends" as I was given in the original replies. And also: The Arctic. What's it's timezone rules?
  25. flying dog
    😞 If I am in Sydney and ask "What time is it in WA I can get a pretty well understood simple answer. If I ask what time is it in Germany, France, Fiji, Egypt, Chad (and so on) I get a KNOWN answer. So if I ask "What time is it in the Arctic", what: It depends? C'mon.... I think it was when I was doing my BAK and time zones were mentioned. Antarctic (all of it) is ZULU. So yes, I am drawing a long bow with the question, but..... How far from the south pole does this rule extend? Just the area to where the ice ends? Or to a specific latitude? And so then I draw another longbow and ask if it is the same for the north pole. And as that is connected to countries, is it different that once you enter a country, the time changes to that country's time? I thought you lot - being aviators - would already understand that part and it wouldn't need explaining. But - as usual - I was wrong.
