I’ve been caught in a situation like this in a thruster many years ago luckily someone heard us coming in and put car lights on the Strip there was plenty of light at 500ft but nothing at ground level asi hard to read as no dash lighting

Not to forget Rotors on the lee side of hills Nev probably wouldn't worry sail boats but aircraft close to stall speed and low to the ground something to be wary of.

I think the term for some of it is polycyclic aromatics

A trap for us all to remember not just over water many pilots have been killed flying up dead end valleys from the beginning of Aviation NTSB Releases Final Report in Fatal Icon A5 Accident

Being an aircraft engine as in all interference fits od of bush and ID of rod should have been checked and known

At least she's had a fly in a Jab how many of the other muppets can say the same

They use to use ACL Pistons which are good quality but are expansion controlled and made for water cooled engines not sure what brand is used now .

Good job I wonder if he ever found the prop and what failed shaft or bolts I'm guessing it's a 912 rotax

When I first started flying I used to think it was fun flying up through holes in cloud cover and finding another to get back down I don't do that now in fact I've found vfr into imc conditions to be the Most unforgiving situation a vfr pilot can get himself into

I think they call that one a dream catcher

Yeah I think your probably right lol

I was talking from a confidence aspect nev

No idea just put it out there for comment enlighten me oscar

The fact remains most people I know would rather fly around with a 912 with 1500hrs on it than a Jab with 500 on it

No not an apple it was a woman and they're still doing it till this day lol

I think your right Nev the strip was u/s to this type of aircraft maybe the old heel test on the turf before flight and kick the tires before lighting the fires or spitfires in this case..

Unfortunately a fatal accident from what I can gather

Obviously nose wheel failure ie failed to fit one lol

Nothing helps like taking the workers outback for a weekly whipping until moral improves.

These days it costs 120 mill to build a car park or pay a bunch of consultants to tell a local council what it already knows and the janitors cat has more wisdom. Give them a go

Probably was said about a lot of innovators just maybe the world will end up with a great little aircraft remember a bloke called Henry Ford.

I would be worried about elevator control and hinge damage from them climbing over the aircraft I'm pretty sure if I was caught on camera stealing fuel and tampering with an aircraft I would be arrested

Sorry to hear that Geoff it seems RAA is more concerned with paperwork than groundwork.
