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.

Mine went off yesterday morning some time after 5am

Hi AllAs the site has been growing rapidly we are experiencing much more frequent database issues. Just one of the databases (there are 3) is over 600meg and the site in the evening is continually hitting over 130 concurrent (all at once) users accessing the databases etc.

Over the recent months I am finding similar issues happening more and more frequent requiring instant intervention to fix. I apologise for this and whilst the databases can easily handle this type of loading, it is being let down by the software and it requires myself to be constantly monitoring the site, all day every day.

 

This is causing me some concern in terms of all the great new features that are coming to the site however, please be assured that I am working on an overall solution, along with some other IT professionals that will minimise the interruptions in the future.

Bernie, you will see by one of my other posts in this thread that if they don't see it or know about the question the question would be emailed to them to their official RAAus email address.

If any "rep" was to have Rec flying as junk mail they wont see your emails, hence not respond and then be put in bad light for not responding.

Ian I'm not junking your endevers, just saying what I think this being a sort of democrocy.

Ian as I said just my thoughs.

Is not a closed forum dictating?

That would exclude all RAA members who are not members of Rec flying and there are some who visit this site as guests.

Also there are members here who are not RAA members and they would be privvy to our "dirty" washing.

Putting a question to a "Rep" doesn't mean he will answer or even see the question.

Putting the "Rep" in bad light if no answer.

Bernie.

I dont agree with this plan Ian.

Smacks of Dictatorship.

Just my thoughts.

Bernie.

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.

Hey Graeme just a thought Bob M from the aero club has a unfinished Jab in his shed and probably wont be finished by him might be worth a look.

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.

Hi Mum I'm home
