Birdseye

I'd suggest that all RAA/LSA aircraft are low inertia, purely because of thier light weight and relatively low speed. What does vary is their aerodynamic efficiency and the effect of drag when the engine power is reduced.

It pays not to take silly ideas too seriously.

Why not just give them rails and hang straps just like they do on those bloody buses they use in lieu of air bridges, after all aircraft are less likely to crash than a bus.

Various reports from the US are stating that a seat belt was being worn and that she was also mortally wounded by the engine debris.

Certainly ATC doesn't need to know anything for a Med 1, had plenty of those sorts of situations and its solely the call of the pilot. Blown engine, explosive depressurisation and partial pax ejection probably requires slightly more elaboration.

I found the audio between ATC and driver rather odd. I guess real life ugly situation unfolding added to the unusual conversation.

The poor woman who was sucked out the window is a good reminder not to unbuckle your seat belt as airlines tell you during the safety briefings. If she had been restrained by the seat belt it is highly likely she would still be alive IMHO.

Now we have a Hero Pilot. Heroism is a step up from bravery, how was she not just doing her job?

Yes. But 1.4L per minute will be such good minutes ... andvthwts at full throttle ... once you get to circuit height it’s down to only 1L per minute ... I’ll take 25minutes please

Its odd that there seems to be nothing more on this since the 2011 first flight, unless I've missed something.

Getting back to the original question of battery:Yes, readily available. That and many more.Australian Rechargeable Lithium Battery & Lead Acid Batteries

Brewer Street?

"Galloping Ghost"?

Reminds me of a Keilcraft control line kit I had.

Must have nodded off before I got to that, but just confirms that there is nothing new in that article.

Read that yesterday and couldn't really see anything new in it. Most of it reflects what has been said about CRM etc. over the last ten or more years. Surprised that she doesn't mention Korean Airlines who had a long history of poor CRM and hierarchical issues.

Birdseye, you are probably right about the "rationale" of each authority, but the pragmatist in me says their mindset on this is completely wrong! Layer it with disclaimers, and "not to be relied upon" statements, but spending a mere pittance to facilitate something that could really make a big difference to situational awareness (and safety IMHO), and you've won over lots of cynics like me!

>< SNIPIt's sad that CASA/Airservices don't facilitate integration/re-release of AvPlan/OzRunways/ADSB data for EFB pilots (note my earlier posts on this). The cynic in me tells me they really don't care about safety, otherwise it would be done by now!

Ryanair will of course only offer standing up option.

Next step is to make them cryogenic cooled and thus avoid jet lag.

I should have looked closer. Aermacchi AM3.

No takers #646?

Available on Ebay if you can't source elsewhere. Then find somebody who knows what they are doing to put it in. You might want to get them to rebuild your battery pack at the same time :-)

I remember being impressed by the Chesapeake Bay bridge and tunnel in the US, only a little over half the length of this new one, but built 50 or more years ago.
