Birdseye

There is no mention in the report of who flew the previous flight or whether they interviewed the passengers of that flight. Someone turned the trim knob.

I think I'm going to take that as a NO then, seeing as how there tends to be quite a few people at a wedding reception I'm definitely not going to skirt around any grey areas for this...

Its quite evident where the interests of the RAAus management lie, certainly not in it's members.

How many cop cars does it really need?

Just checked, there is even a Wiki page on it : Gloster Meteor F8 "Prone Pilot" - Wikipedia

It was a test vehicle for a prone pilot position, with the aim to determine if there were any benefits in things like G tolerance.

Maybe a contraction of Flying Truck?

I was referring to an accidental dropping of the tubular container instead of the landing gear.

Ooops, I meant drop the gear....

Seems like a convenient sorting of the facts to me. The selected destinations do not relate.

Jetstar top the table:

Chart of the day: What are the chances your plane will leave on time?

There's no similarity of intent. . How the general public view it is their concern. They believe what the hystericals and sensation peddlers tell them. Single engine fighters flying over built up areas are a risk all the time, as they are instructed to eject if the thing malfunctions. Nev

Next they will be blaming the flight sim programmers for showing the startup sequence.

True, I didn’t say it made any sense, but the political knee-jerk will happen regardless.

Probably practiced the start up on one of the flight sim programs. We all know that once turning and burning its all a piece of piss :-)

The report make a comment about the covers melting, it may suggest that they were not therefore tightly sealed prior to that point and some sort of ASI readings were available during take off.

Clever chaps, these Brazilians . . .

Good point, could have started when Ian went back to this forum OS?

But make the call on area not the CTAF if you want emergency response

You may be finding some of the developing compatibility issues with XP.

Having seen Birdseyes response. That is covered by the latest CASA wording, where shortage of fuel should mean a Mayday fuel broadcast. Not good in my opinion,but CASA have the final say.

Mayday is for distress situations and Pan for urgency situations. If you want to clear a circuit because your engine has failed and you want to be able to land anywhere on the airfield, then Mayday is your call. A situation where Pan is more suited would be a fuel shortage, whereby you can carry out a normal approach and landing, but want to avoid the possibility of a go-around due to congestion in the circuit.

Google images didn't help; best it came up with was a coffee 'portafilter'! The terminology "motor running", suggest to me an ancillary pump or something. Those fasteners and the latching mechanism also suggest to me a static device rather than something in motion like an aircraft.

Some sort of breather?

Thanks for the post, are you able to mention aircraft type?Condolences to family a nd friends.

I love those stupid media lines: "he was directed to land where he could"
