  1. Just use "cleared for take off alpha bravo charlie" If they get picky i just say "did you get out of the bed the wrong way this morning sir as you can see me through your bifoculs. LOL I got the dreaded "contact tower by phone on landing" once and it turned out the enroute controller was a girl I new from Moorabbin many years ago.
  2. Guess if Bruce goes quite on the forum we will know he has flown in cloud one to many times. What really shits me is people with a huge ego saying I need no training I can easily fly in a bit of cloud I know what I am doing. Sadly these are the people that have a short life, I have known to many of these people and not many are still around because of this. Leave the clouds to the IFR guys and live another day. Debate ended...
  3. But what about Geoff Edelson the root rat and helicopter crasher
  4. What the?? Really? WOW You just do as much training as you can including PIFR for GA pilots and do your best to stear clear of them. For IFR and commercial guys you have advanced training in this but you do your best to avoid it, if you can't you have your training to fall back on. And thats what AFR's are for (keeping your skills in check)
  5. But I got blue pills so I can keep going like the energizer bunny but in quick sessions. Ok back to topic... Wonder if the below relates to fuel starvation. During cruise, the engine failed. While conducting a forced landing the aircraft collided with terrain. The pilot and passenger sustained minor injuries. The aircraft was substantially damaged.
  6. I bet you again red, i so like beating you The girlfriend said im always "quick"
  7. Investigation: AO-2016-110 - Wirestrike involving Cessna 441, VH-NAX, Coorabie Airport, SA, on 5 September 2016
  8. Just seen on 7 news, VH-KLV RV8 has had a very bad landing looks badly damaged. Investigation: AO-2016-109 - Engine failure and collision with terrain involving Van's RV-9A, VH-KLV, 39 km NNW of Albany Airport, WA, on 4 September 2016
  9. Should do nothing as there basically a war grave.
  10. Plane Wrong | 60 Minutes | 9Jumpin In the rugged and spectacular frontier of Papua New Guinea there’s an outrageous treasure hunt going on Old war planes, bombers and fighters, that once flew in the battles to save Australia against the advancing Japanese during World War II are being plundered from the jungle. In a major investigation, Ross Coulthart uncovers a black-market trade in the historic wrecks which are in demand by collectors and museums around the world. The problem is the warbirds, some of which are worth millions of dollars, belong to the government and people of PNG, although that seems to be no deterrent to Australian Robert Greinert.
  11. Having a yoke mount clamp onto the control rod scares me.
  12. Y yikes that would block some instruments.
  13. Now I am looking at going back to the mini..... Ahhhh I am torn. Does anyone know of a good kneeboard, basically I don't want to use my otterbox defender case anymore as its to bulky so looking for a pouch where the iPad will slide into and be fully enclosed with a screen protector include in the case. Like this but need the screen cover ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard - Item No: KB-IPM-1
  14. Yikes might hold off till the end of the week Update 30 August: Apple has sent out invitations for an event on 7 September. We expect the iPad mini 5 to be announced at the event with a release date on 16 September. There are also rumours that Apple will drop the mini 5 name for the Pro-line, naming the new tablet the iPad Pro Mini.
  15. Your going to get addicted Leena, aviation is very addictive.
  16. Yo Aviators, I seem to keep chopping between an ipad mini and the full size and can't make up my mind on what one to use. But anyway, what are peoples thoughts on yoke mounts? I think it would be easier, but the voices in my head are saying you should never put something heavy on the controls. I have asked this before but can't find the thread, and yes I am aware of the regs
  17. Peter I told you not to take my photo and put it online
