All of my instructors [there were several GA-AUF] pulled the throttle on me at some stage of the day.
The worst was first take off one was thinking more of getting the little bugga in the air.
But every day it was done even if I had done 6 touch & goes it would happen
I think they all watched me for the right [in their minds] time to do it.
Was good training for what may [but never] happen.
Frightened one CFI in Maryborough Qld when I done one myself [pay back] hehe.

Videos are no good to me Ian they take too much of my limited down load time.
It took almost 5 min just to get into your site, yes its crappy W8 worst program on the planet.
Also don't use facebook and don't even know what twitter is.

There has been a lot of really large 'willy willies' lately in the Biggenden area, I witnessed a wheelie bin thrown into the air about 20/30 feet and landed about 100 yards away
Just missing a car on the Isis Hwy. So if the aircraft wasn't tied down that could have happened to it?
Bernie.
Just a tad off topic, but I have those elbows and joiners in my motor home, not the one in the avata a differant one they hold pressure without any leaks.
But I don't use them for fuel, so can't comment on such.

A strange thing happened to me as a low time trainee.
I was doing circuits at Hervey Bay when the instucter told me to fly over to Maryborough and do some touch and go's.
The runway had just been resurfaced and no Keys or center line. I found it hard to do a normal landing without visual signs.
I think my instructer was on the ball that day and he took me outside my comfort zone.

My first solo in a Gazelle was at Hervey Bay in 2000, I had a Shorts 360 ( the RPT then) wait at the gate while I landed.
He congratulated me on my landing....I was stoked . A good landing and a pro telling me so.

That bloke is a serial complainer has done so in the local paper for years.
There is also one opposite Maryborough airport always complaine about engine noise, the best one he done was complain to the aircraft maintanance shop about the load noise eminating from there. It was a F111 that done a dummy touch and go, I was there.

Hi Mick I'm trying to be there, not in the bus in the Avata my new one. Depends on the school Hols I'm away for two weeks this Thursday.
Hey to "H".
Bernie.
Just another thought, I removed thr PPT from the stick on my Gazelle to the panel next to the throtle.
Gazelle owners will know what I meen lifting ones leg over the stick ment some times knocking that little red button off.
Once removed all good as ones hand is most times on or near the throtle.
