  1. I can remember asking an instructor to demonstrate a climb / vertical stall turn (don't know the word) The manouvre was a fizzer An Airtourer I think - the plane fell back - in reverse gear ............. a lesson on how not to do it ! It was like backing into a Woolworths parking lot ................ and hitting a couple of shopping trollies on the way in
  2. pilot will have to be unpaid in the hangar ............ fixing that up .......... weekends
  3. 180 Kn cruise and a low 49 Kn stall ............. nice
  4. my condolences ............ invevitably we must all complete the circle of life (some religions suggest there have been exceptions)
  5. always an imposter mingles Red - a bit like this likely lot
  6. wonder how airline ranking relates to that airlines / countries government support ........... (guessing there will be some airlines that don't recieve any goverment assistance)
  7. 1 × Warner Scarab Junior 5-cyl. air-cooled radial piston engine ?? ............. maybe
  8. 1 × Lycoming O-320 horizontally opposed piston aircraft engine ?? ............. maybe

  10. yes ......... interesting to see the delicious cigarettes @ 10.24 ................ while having dinner
  11. we all must be nuts talking about the mechanics of legislation But Turbo does raise the point that any new rule re registration could financially benefit some persons and not others ......... and should be announced correctly
  12. and the data says (numbers rounded) * 70 c dents per 100 miles (fuel) * 40 miles per gallon (fuel) * means that fuel was 28 cents per gallon ? * cigarettes and ashtrays were probably a minimal cost to the body back then
  13. .............. IT crowd - friendface ............
  14. last photo looks squased - a bolbous canopy
  15. and this ............... I assume
  16. true BD ............. but its always advantageous to discuss the absurdity of things (if seen as absurd) something good might come of it by their nature - bureaucracies must go there (either required, not required, willingly or reluctantly)
  17. 1. interesting pint skippy - you are saying - with a PPL or CPL you could do a touch and go at Sydney international airport ......... and you would not need an ASIC card ? 2. in that instance ......... does the legislation say you need an ASIC card ?
  18. 16.51 ......................... when did they change O - oboe to oscar ?
  19. volumetric conversions - here's one that is handy Whiskey 700 mls - 40 % alcohol means = 280 mls alcohol (rocket fuel) has 22 standard drinks 280 mls divided by 22 = 12 to 13 mls of rocket fuel per standard drink other liquids with rocket fuel suspended within the above calculation works ruffly with other liquids standard drink about 13 mls of alcohol
  20. no disrespect BUT they would have had ground crew operating those pads ............... it would not take much ? for a ground radio to advise of movements (perhaps there was - don't know)
  21. my understanding is the airfield owner gets a 'cut' of the landing fee - the 'cut' % age is probably confidential that system is an easy sell for Avdata in that when the airfield owner gets used to the 'take' ................... it's probably then easy for Avdata to get out the thumbscrews ......... and then create a really solid symbiotic mutually beneficial business relationship
  22. there's no option to it .................. you have to stay out of the EMAS (the kitty litter) or you'll be put under the microscope
  23. OK FH - how does it increase your accelerate / stop distance pleaase ? no bucket of flowers if you end up in that bog - the bean counter would not be happy me thinks primarily for saving life (if the undercarriage legs stay put) ...............
  24. real pictures (I think)
