    Well he got you in for a start. The character will be referring to any regulations like that before his first solo on an airstrip without taxyways or before first navex with a landing involved. In either case the student has to refer to regulations whether there are 9.56 million or not.

    .....sky effect at that exact altitude. [congratulations to Cappy for recognising the "Hinkler Layer"]. bull, it has to be said has paid the price for staring longingly into the eyes of Mavis at the Bone RSL, while Mavis fought him off with batch after batch of pancakes, night after night. The Jacka, like most untralights, had to operate 40% over its MTOW. The Jacka would handle the takeoff quite well, but when it hit the Hinkler layer it would start skipping - a climb of a few feet then an incipient stall. bull would...........

    .....a voice in with that squeaky, grovelling Perth accent, explaining as he picked up the nuts with the cable hoist; "We check them for correct axis of elasticity and granular direction". Using a 5 lb hammer he tapped each nut. Some needed just two taps, some needed three, and one needed five. "Here you are" he said toi bull, "good as new", but bull knew they were better than new and resolved to buy a 5 ln hammer when he goy home. But .........

    .... the nut problem. What he didn't know was that EP had been short of students for some time after scaring half of them by lesson three. He wasn't prepared to lower his standard of training so he resolved the problem by importing cheap students from China. Of the ones he imported every second one didn't want to work and those who did often stopped halfway through the lesson, but they paid big monet and EP was able to buy a new Satin Blue flying suit every season, so he wasn't going to tip a bucket on the Country which had made this possible and he suggested the nuts had been poorly serviced, which ........

    In the hundreds of online discussions, some highly skilled navigators pooled information from the radio transmissions, second by second, position reports, ATC records etc. and over time I think the area decided on is not unreasonable. The crash area has been described as double canopy, so when anything falls in the net view through the canopies is going to be pretty much closed again. The ground parties have gone in well informed but the problem is they've only been able to search minute pockets due to the rough terrain.

    ......an understatement because the engines had failed, and bull had to tow it the last 63 Nm with a rope between his teeth. When the mechanics checked the engines they found 32 big end nuts had cracked. The nuts had been supplied by Golden River Co, a subsidiary of Hoo Boi Co. bull was not amused .........

However bull had issued a world-wide press release explaining what Bovear does to the reproductive organs of little children and men. Withing a few weeks bull was needing the trawlers he'd ordered plus another six, and ...... NES News Item: The current fad in the Cattle and Dairy industries where feeding the animals with Bovear to reduce CO2 production has passed on some nasty diseases from the milk and meat and will be yet another headache for Albo to deal with in 2025 along with Tania P.

    If you want to do a little searching, you'll find the reports from several well organised and financed parties, where they went and what they found (but not MDX).

    Side Comment to assist Cappy to put a follow on statement after "up,";. We are lucky on this site to have such an accurate recorder of history, stickler for the correct English of that time, and story teller of unparalelled skill. Cappy brings it to us as it was, warts and all (and sometimes more than warts.)

    .... who was three at the time the Vietnam War broke out, but spent the duration of the war in Canada in case he was called up, decided to drag Turbo through the courts for inserting the Mekong leaches in whiskey. In a landmark case, Turbo's lawyer, the Hon. CT Barnum showed the court a copy of Encyclopedia Britannica where the species Leachus Mekongrious was defined as an Animae Ferocii ("Wild Animal" for those whose native tongue is not Latin). So Turbo had no control over these wild animals, and as everyone could see the bottle was securely sealed. OT lost the case which turned the slug in the bottle case on its head and was last seen doing aerobatics in his Extra 300 over the cities of the world towing a gin bottle around. The case attracted the attention of bull who had extended his fortune by building a chain of restaurants called the raw prawn, and he thought he could increased traffic with a drink called "Prawn Bite", but it was failing because of the constant lines of smelly people asking for bait and .............

    Send those photos to Jabiru and ask for advice. The issue may simply be filler shrinkage over the rivet heads, or it may indicate movement at some stage due to hinge binding. This may be inexpensive to repair but let Jabiru see it just to make sure its not a structural issue.

    Have read a few thousand words on this. Night VFR flight, another aircraft went through before him, had uneventful flight. He deviated towards the Barrington Tops, wanted to save time. Picked up a lot of ice, aircraft not responding as well as it should, lost VFR a few radio transmissions and that was the end of that. Not found in the official searches. Many people contributed their knowledge from the known radio times and positions narrowing down the search area. Teams experienced in the area went up there in their holidays but no one has been successful. The terrain and thick bush mean that you would have to be very close to the wreck to sight it.
