Dazza would be good at that !

Hmm , J200 . Appears to be a relatively soft landing , but interesting that strut appears to have collapsed ! Bob

Not the information I was given by RAA. If you submit a flight plan you can be given clearance to fly through Sale airspace. I'm not sure how many other restricted areas are available but Sale is definitely one.

660nm biggles. Lol

5.5 hrs @ 120kts = 560nm : hardly needs more fuel, the statement makes no sense to me. I feel like having a break after plus 4hrs hand flying, especially in the northern summer heat/turbulence.

......... 660 mn Frank !

I think Arthur is sorted out now . Bob

Maybe , but right now I think he needs some help . Bob

I think that was a good decision , having regard to her recent experience Geoff . It may take some time but things should not be rushed ....... Bob

We were talking about you Bob and Sally...and Alf too

I`m using Google Chrome as my iPad web browser...For the RA-Aus Sport Pilot pdf, Login to the RA-Aus website and follow my explanation in post #9...Once downloaded, the pdf should be in the downloads section.

Good two sea that dazza has sum of us trayned big L's

There was a strip just South of Mt Jim Crow, which is between hedlow and Yeppoon. Don't know if it is still active, but they had a few hangers last time I flew in there. Very narrow strip, with tall grass right up to the wingtips and a normal circuit put you the opposite side of the mt. plus power lines on the approach.

You got back down safely that's really all that matters . I doubt that you will have too many critics . Well done ... Bob

I usually say " today should be pretty smooth but, if you feel a little queasy tell me and I'll go back ", sometimes just saying this gives them the feeling that they have some control over the flight duration . Better to be forwarned and, depending on your assessment ,it may be time to hand them a bag ... just in case , but best not to stray too far from base ...... Bob

Faster aircraft have less of a problem. Nev

I am not sure that we do need to know why in each and every case. What we do need, is to understand the overall trends and then focus on ways of minimizing future accidents. Reading detailed accounts of individual past accidents can lead people to have the "it won't happen to me" attitude. They read the report and there is some deficiency in the pilots decision making in hindsight it is easy to believe that you wouldn't make that same mistake. This reinforces the it wont happen to them attitude.The FAA have publication that discusses poor pilot decision making in the context of 5 hazardous attitudes. They Are:

 

Almost all of the light aircraft accidents fall into a limited number of the categories. My take on the list would be:

 

Factors leading to Fatal Accidents

 

• Miss-handled engine failure. It isn't the failure of the engine that causes the accident but the failure to properly respond and maintain control of the aircraft.
   
   
  
• Continued VFR flight into IMC weather conditions.
   
   
  
• Stall/spin low to the ground.
   
   
  
• Technical failure of the aircraft. Johns list above includes 2 fatal accidents on first flights as well as one that may be linked to bowden cable issue.
   
   
  

 

 

SO the question then is what could you do in your flying to minimize the risk of this happening to you?

comments like we should give the trikes back to HGFA

It's actually called Eastern Standard Summer Time, so we aren't confused. I work with US companies, so need to keep a chart of our EST, ESST and their EST, Eastern Daylight Savings Time, and cross reference what time it is there when the startup and end dates overlap, now THAT requires some study..

While we are talking about asics I have a question.How many people can one ASIC holder escort? The reason I ask is our club has quiet a few members but I would be one of the only ones with a ASIC and if we were to fly to the likes of Narrabri or Moree or Dubbo I wondered how many I could escort. Is there a limit or if we stayed as a group would that be ok?

 

Please note we have no trips planned to any security airports at this stage but I have just been wondering and thought there is no harm in asking.

As an example I have just finished anaesthetising for a bariatric surgery list. Fat people having weight reduction surgery. High risk because obesity causes all sorts of problems. My last patient - a 55 year old 150 kg adult male with severe heart trouble ( each beat only pushes out 45% of what it should) he has poorly controlled diabetes and doesn't even check his own sugars ( never done a single self check though at least daily is the expected standard of self care). He has moderately severe lung trouble, drinks to excess and smokes.

Mmm , we are told that we must be non - judgemental about these things , however some don't seem to realise the consequences of their actions , or non actions , regarding a responsible attitude toward their own health. I admire you Jaba and your professional colleagues , for showing the compassion that you do, often in difficult circumstances .... Bob

I just noticed a new thread on this ! .... Bob

If you are using OzRunways, the recent update now allows tracking, so emergency services can find you easier, also others, such as family or instructors can track you live.A great addition in my book

Yep , sounds like he did all the right things . A lesson to us all !...... Bob

Good fun, of course this was done in the nineties when flying ultralights was more fun and we didn't have the do gooder, you can't do this or you can't do that crap we have now.

All that "crap" is designed to ensure you get home for tea Dazza . As they say ..... "the rules are written in blood "
