Hey Turbo, I have one of those but you see it, has numbers on it and thats my problem, numbers.

I can use it to a degree(pun) time and distance, but have to be shown each time before flight or its just another jumble of numbers.

Bernie.

Hi Joe, how bout a pic of your Nav-Aid Rule.

Bernie.

I dont concider 1 mile left or right of track to be off track.

For those of you who dont know I'm dislexic I can not do numbers in my head, I fly by site alone.

So the 1 in 60 rule dont work for me.

Bernie.

I still cant work it out.

Bernie

I think your right Mick, no one seems to be wearing them around the field even Tony P who slept with his on.(hehe)

I never had mine on at any time and have never been chalenged.

Bernie.

Good one Motz, except it dont work for me I'm dislexic I caint count I have to fly by sight alone.

It was a real eye opener for my instructor to find away for me to learn to fly.

But I sort of understand what you mean.

I was taught the ten mile marker.

Also I can not use a wiz wheel, but I do have a small one with only two calcs on it time and distance. Which I can use to varing degrees of getting it right some times.

Good thread but mate.

Bernie.

Human Factors

How would this rate in a human factor test, yesterday I was going on a flight with a fellow club member as the pilot, there were two other aircraft on said flight we were the last to leave. At the reqired level when the take off flaps were retracted they failed to do so, two up full fuel is was straining to get to hight and speed at 1,000ft pilot reduced speed to try and retract flaps,after several attempts we returned to the airfield and landed. At which point I elected to abandon my seat and remain on the ground, the pilot then left without me and done a flapless take off.(they worked on the ground)

Did I make the right decision?

Bernie.

Good onya Kaz & Matt.

Hey Pete. I have a scanner on 24/7 and I've heard many a heavy inbound to Hervey bay doing radio calls but still on Brisbane atc.

Also many years ago a Kingair flown by you know who, done a straight in aproach to Ymyb while I was on down wind for 17, lucky for me I did see him he was still on Ybud so even the Pro's get it wrong some times. Ymyb is a ctaf R.

A radio wont always stop accidents.
