So you're saying that military pilots have bad airmanship because they fly oval circuits ?

I think it comes down to airmanship and how well you were taught. A rectangular pattern is how you fly in the circuit not some free form mishmash. Leave that to the gyros.

Hi there Ada Elle, what is your profession and back ground ? You come across as being very clinical and analytical .

I think Head in the Clouds may be someone you can learn from.

When I first started in spent too much time worrying about what was happening below the windscreen rather than looking through it.

For me a big part of the flying experience is visiting the many airstrips up here in North East Victoria. Most have no fee and some request a donation, so a toilet and coffee definitely receives a contribution. Porpunkah, Yarrawonga, Mansfield and Longwood are on my list of favourites. In all cases I definitely phone ahead for strip conditions and permission.

further to the above - just curious, since i've not done the maths nor been in that situation... but... you would be doing more than a 180* turn in such a case right? Unless there were a parallel runway under you at whatever point you roll out of your 180, wouldn't there be an additional loss in then getting yourself back to the runway you were on? I'm envisioning a turn that looks a bit like an enlarged question mark or an upside-down J.worth mentioning, or am i overthinking?

That way the degree of turn back is not as great.

I would be interested on what some of our more experienced members think.

Another life sadly lost and sadly another life that didn't need to be lost.

ahh ev17ifly2 Dazza's alter ego. LOL :)

Hi AllJust some questions on what people are doing with Hanger Space and what you are paying each month where.

Like to get an idea on what is fair and what is not for a Raa aircraft.

 

Anyone got any great solutions to the space/ hanger problems on strips.

Just as well it wasn't Cecil the lion, have to shut the airline down due to outrage.

Australia's early aviators/adventurers weren't exactly paupers either. Great to see that the sprit of adventure is still alive in some of our younger generation.

I may know someone. How many hours on your wing and is it a Streak 2

Give it up FT. Get off your soap box and go and do something constructive

Bit of an odd statement - lots of the postings on this forum and lots of the headlines on the home page concern British and European aircraft events, accidents and incidents.

I don't need to hear about a minor car crash in Bullshit Hollow, West Idaho.

[ATTACH]36872[/ATTACH]See a woman looks at this as though the poor guy has done something wrong when he actually did exactly as asked. The problem is that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.

There are probably many incidents and accidents world wide on a daily basis however because Australians are so UScenrtic we never hear of them. Enough said, move on

Has anyone received the mag for July or does it start in August

I received mine in the PO box 2 days ago.

So your saying it didn't COMPOUND the situation ??

Interesting the torque roll of the 2 stroke to the left (as the Pilot was accustomed to) and that the 912 spinning in the opposite direction has a torque roll to the right which unfortunately as it was that wing dropping and it appears the Pilot added power to attempt recovery, this action appears to have compounded the situation.

I disagree that there is not a lot to learn. True that at the closing speed of the F16 it may be all over before you see him but if it is another RAAus plane and we both react the right way someone here might just learn something that could save thier ar$e

It's a bit like our Media padding out their news reports with some obscure house fire in Southern Georgia rather than providing Accurate and timely reporting on a local newsworthy event.

Given the closing speed and pilots reaction time coupled with the visual profile of the F 16 it's all over.

Dare I say, not a lot to be learned here so let's move on

The notice also warns against using the internal space in a weight shift wing for storage.

Dont know mate ,not interested and wont waste my time trying to find or download it as it sounds like **** anyway cheers

By the way are you going to place an online ad in RA's Members Market ?

That i

Ev17, you seem to be implying a few things regarding the HGFA, but are willing to state very little.To suggest that it is not valid to compare the two organisations is, frankly, ludicrous. Yes, I am biased, precisely because I have done the comparison, and continue to do so. I would advocate that any trike owner does the same, to ascertain which organisation best serves them, and then make their own decision.

Not so sure about a direct comparison of the two organisations. By the way, how many 3 axis aircraft are registered HGFA

Sorry, after reading the above posts I thought that was your inference.
