yampy started following Lockheed Constellation and Super Constellation

I remember them too as a kid in the 60’s at LHR . I think the TWA examples without the wing tanks were L1649 Starliners , the last example of the Connie / Super Connie ever built , and a larger aeroplane all round . Oh happy days . David

Foxbat accident 14 Nov 2020

You are spot on there Garfly . The ERSA clearly makes a point of the wake turbulence risk . At the end of the day it’s all about risk mitigation . David -
Foxbat accident 14 Nov 2020
yampy replied to Blueadventures's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
No not even another 500’ . You were suggesting an additional 1000’ in your original post and I was replying to that suggestion , however , another 500’ would breach all separation requirements between V1 traffic and incoming Sydney arrivals using RW 34L and 34R on crossing the extended centrelines . It is possible to see airliners far above when on VI , they are probably outbound from SYD and climbing to the North and East of the airport at the time , but a heavy airliner just 1000’ above you looks pretty big . -
Changing the site name to Aircraft Pilots (.com) certainly would “ cover ALL segments of Recreational including PPL “ , however it would also cover absolutely all aspects of piloting aeroplanes from rag and tube to A380’s and the like , and may attract the pilots of the like in greater numbers than what could be termed recreational flyers , is that what you want ? . I feel that this site may lose its long time identity as a home for recreational flyers to come together , however , change is your prerogative David

Foxbat accident 14 Nov 2020
yampy replied to Blueadventures's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
That would be a recipe for disaster and should never happen . A increase to 1500’ would place any V1 traffic in direct conflict with any inbound Sydney traffic landing on 34L or 34R which , in a 3degree approach path would be at 1500’ on passing the Eastern shoreline of Botany Bay . The same separation situation exists for the LOE too with landing aircraft on 16R in particular where presently there is only 1000’ separation with the LL of CTR of 2500’. -
Three Near Disasters At Airport Opening In Wellington, New Zealand
yampy commented on Phil Perry's a video in Accidents and Incidences
What a great piece of history . I never realised how old I was , thanks Phil 😀 -
Are you getting that confused with the Convair 440 that crashed in South Africa whilst being prepared for delivery to Australia , piloted by the QF crew a couple of years ago .?

The BOM site showed gusts of 64KTs , the same wind speed that flipped a C172 onto its roof at Camden last week . -
Lancaster NX 611 Restoration to Flying Condition.
yampy replied to Phil Perry's topic in Aviation Videos
What a great day it would be to get the BBMF Lanc and this one flying together , and even better to get the CanadIan one too flying in formation . Three Lancs , 12 Merlins , what a sight and sound . Meks the hairs stand up on the neck ? -
Fedex Cargo makes emergency landing
yampy replied to Phil Perry's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
I managed to find the report on aviation-safety.net . Looks like your bog standard refusal of the undercart to lower . Thankfully just one minor injury . Unfortunately I don’t appear to be able to attach the file here , but it is easily viewable on their website . -
Serious storm forecast for CHENGDU region

Well the US consulate staff have left , in fact they have been kicked out of Chengdu . -
An Antonov AN 124 visited Sydney on 13/4/ 20 , it landed from Colombo and departed later that day to Kuala Lumpur . I doubt it was carrying cargo for the Snowy Mts scheme , Canberra would have been a better option . They are not a rare sight in Australia and usually can been seen occasionally in Syd .
