  1. Yes but better than hitting a tree with the nose. The other thing I was taught was if you aren't going to stop before the fence, building, trees ground loop it. About 15 years ago someone did that in a Jab; the Jab was too light to break the fence down but the wing collapsed until the fuselage hit the fence. The pilot got out with a broken arm.
  2. That's what I was taught to do in a forced landing involving trees, sheds, big rocks - concentrate on the gaps, break the wings off to slow you down. Also I was taught the technique of forced landing into a canopy of big trees, but I've fogotten what it was. These days I see a lot of posts using the term Outlanding which, with the glider's controls like air brakes, is quite a different experience to something with a heavy engine confusing the issue and a glide like a brick by comparison.
  3. VERY GOOD Skippy; now that can go in the events section unless there's a demarkation issue. Is that you promoting it with a dance?
  4. ...wash its hands of the affair since the bow of the trawler had pushed through the front doors of Customs House and was now in the office of the Third Assistant Secretary of Customs; a cushy job handed to Damian from Canberra secretly by his father Sir James Framlingham Track. Damian who had his handicaps also was very cunning and he called in his Customs Officers and ordered a search of the vessel. "They must be trying to hide something he said, looking up at the aircraft deck now sitting in Davey St." That's all he needed to say; his troops were all required to spend a six months stretch with CASA, so they decided to do a ramp check. Once they got through the miles of longline, they started picking up all sorts of appliances, tobacco, groceries branded Woolworths but with small print on the cartons "supplied by Turbine Agriculture, Calabria." Something had to be done.......................

Later, in the Tasmanian Royal Commission, Captain Bull said he was going for a "dry" landing prior to cleaning the keel, but the Hon Clifford C. T. Banks KC pointed out that he had hit a Morris Oxford and a late 1976 Torana, and they were operating within their lanes and neither were speeding. However, the Hon Alastair Cook KC argued that they were both unregistered (a common practice in Tasmania) and the Judge found them guilty and awarded costs to Capt B. and saluted him. The Hobart City Council now had to .....................

H managed to convert thousands of little Australians to the excitement of eatiing his products and they taught millions more.

  17. When you listen out for the ATIS QNH and dial it in and I’m cross-country inbound and listen out for the ATIS QNH and dial it in we will both be flying the same altitude in the circuit. In this case I was looking at the height above ground level. In this case, ATSB reported: 1. The ADS-B showed 1400’ on the downwind leg; ADS-B output is AMSL (Above Mean Sea Level). I incorrectly picked up on this so we can disregard it because I was talking about AGL (Above Ground Level). 2. On the graph 1300’ AGL on the downwind leg is shown and notated “Height above ground”. Camden Airport elevation is 230’ + 1000’ciruit height AGL = 1230’ AGL Camden report Circuit Height in ERSA as 1300’ – 70’ out. We can disregard the discrepancy in this case, because the pilot was on 1300’ on the downwind leg, so not above Camden’s ERSA circuit height.
  18. In transit, I’ll give you an answer later. What QNH do you enter at your local airfield?
  19. Have a look at the VFG regarding circuit height and the ATSB report.
  20. From the report: "Recorded altitude has been converted to height above the elevation at the point of ground impact. This was about 10 ft below the airport elevation." AGL is also mentioned on the graph. Circuit height is 1000' AGL That's where he was supposed to be on downwind, and at somewhere like Camden, spot on it. This was driven home to me one day when I was flying along at the minimum 500' agl and after a while realised I could see the bark peeling off dead sticks on the ground which was rising.
