  1. [This post has ben written be Mod3. We dunt wana see anymore posts like the larst one. Disguting.] .......She put on a Led Zepple disk and everyone danced outta their. Ha Ha .................................................
  2. ......Opium Den in Cabramatta with a Great Dane, Bloodhound, three Caboodles and a CASA FoI Operative, all dressed in Drag. Hauntingly there was the shadow of Cappy in the background. He'd painted himself in greenscreen but couldn't hide the eyebrows or teeth. Doubtfire knew what to do.......................

  4. 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.
  5. In transit, I’ll give you an answer later. What QNH do you enter at your local airfield?
  6. Have a look at the VFG regarding circuit height and the ATSB report.
  7. 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.

  10. Turbo apologises......the second one.
  11. This is the prelim. report so they will now be doing the detailed work item by item. 1400' downwind? steady descent 130 kts?
  12. .........Turbo redeemd himself when he was able to produce a video of one of the ancient chickens of Gorpington a tiny country tucked away in a valley of the Himalayas. As he said, Turbo himself had taken the video on furlough from the Khyber Pass. It showed a double jointed Black Gorpington (the g is silent in Gorpington) It was kicking at the other chickens with a double jointed legg and switching its tail like a cat. He withdrew the regret for his decision, said he knew he had the video but just couldn't put his hand on it at the time,the PR people dressed him up in a giant black rooster suit with a bow tie, the chickens were labelled Black Orpington, and just ran out the doors of the franchisees, double jointed or not. It wasn't until ................... [Interesting photo. Not many people know that Turbine Defence Inc. designed that tanker drogue. The earlier ones weren't labelled and several crashed when USAF pilots pulled up behind the tanker and tried to stick that sharp thing in it. Once Turbine had labelled it, they were able to see it was the other end of the arcraft that mattered.]
  13. I wouldn't get too excited Keith, note that this thread started with someone guessing that single and dual set should be the same price. RAA decide what they charge. Every Sipermarket decides what it charges, every business decides what it charges and it wouldn't be the first time that the profit was made on the sales price of one product and another product sold at a lower price, the combined result being greater than if they were both sold at the same price because the cost was the same. The person could have just kept his own business to himself and contacted RAA Ltd.
  14. Yes, a bit like the old Benson GyroCopters that killed a lot of people, but if you turn into that side the chute picks up and you take off in that direction. I was going to use one for aerial surveillance in western NSW so spent a lot of time studying them and realised you really needed an all over field to be successful. If you wanted to land on a bush track for example you couldn't always guarantee you'd get down so I dropped the idea. When you look at the open days there's a lot of line cutting by the props when the chutes fill, you start the roll and the chute collapses again while you are going slow etc.
  15. They lay them out on the runway and open the throttle. The chute reacts to moving through the air and deploys, swig upwards and from there they are hanging in a taut chute, so theoretically very safe; however: At my RC airfield a PPC dropped in and took the President up for a ride.....there was a crosswind ......the wheel on the PPC hooked on the boundary fence but finally broke the wire. The chute can oscillate on take off, and while the takoff and landing roll are short they don't have the precise control surfaces of a conventional aircraft so there's a lot of drifting and a big all-over field is best. Like any other aircraft flying below 500' while the view is great, a SWER line will take them out.
  16. .....their stronghold in Boggo Road. They’d failed to follow instructions inputting north instead of South, and a Chicken Farm in Crimea was wiped out. This......

  20. We can see from this post the degree of authority of Moderator 3 carries around here. A close confidant of Cappy, who had a deprived childhood, and a fetish (where he cried continuously for fresh nappies where most cried for milk, and Turbo just lay there happy for anything he got}, M3 as he is known around here has repeatedly been exposed as a cross-dressing psychopath, student of Hitler and would have been a serial killer if it wasn't for the fact that all 31 of his victims escaped.
  21. Boeing whistleblower & former employee John Barnett was found dead. The day before his death he had been giving evidence at a whistleblower lawsuit against Boeing. He died from a self inflicted wound on 9/3/24. He had been due to answer further questions that day.
  22. And so fitting a battery isolator requires no more that the brain capacity of a praying mantis.
