What happened with the MTOW change for RAAus
johnm replied to damiens's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Legislators often use the term .................... 'that the new legislation is not retrospective' - all that goes before is not considered - all that happens from now - changes -

‘End of an era’: Qantas 747 jumbos to disappear
johnm replied to Admin's topic in Aviation Enthusiasts
The days of the A380 look numbered I thought the A380 was going thru some financial stress ? The dreamliner 787 had a battery issue ................ all solved apparently How Boeing fixed the 787 Dreamliner - Geek.com -
Qantas passengers thought they were going to die
johnm replied to red750's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
interesting how clear air turbulence (CAT) could be used to gain compo ................. I thought CAT was unpredictable I guess if in CAT, you were wearing your seatbelt, the seat fixings broke and you got an injury you'd have a chance at compo I can only guess that the chance of compo payment is a rare thing (or a good well kept secret) -

johnm replied to red750's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
I would of thought; since we circulate in aviation circles that any / some compo payments to passengers would be common knowledge / or at least discussed ............ be good to see some examples of payment (if you're going to climb into a tube and fly at 300 knots with extendable wheels and a pot of hot coffee ......... there are some known risks before you buy the ticket) -

I'm no expert but google says 2.5 to 3 mW wind turbine will produce 6,000,000 ! kWhrs per year @ 8 cents = $ 480,000 p annum ! (its a wonder they can make any money at all)
-
probably not your land I'd guess - power Co would have a lease over it and they'd do any track / fence improvements
-
$6 to $ 8k per annum per turbine for rent - ATO probably would like some of the income as tax though

johnm replied to red750's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
......... quiet serious A judge would have to make allownces for a level of acceptable unknowns - decmpression - turbulence - flat tyres ? I was merely asking if anyone had some examples of $ and circumstances of payment from airlines (its probably all a very well kept secret) ....... reading legal blurb from a solicitors website might be a drag -

thanks Alf ........w'ell see if anyone has heard of compo with such events ? -

johnm replied to red750's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
interesting comment Alf do you think there'd be actual compo paid for the passengers stressful event ? (I mean actual - not the guff about litigious world, spec legal action etc) .................... these events would have happened before - compo actually paid ? -

wow ....... they all survived ! .............. lucky -
The only thing rec aviation has an advantage in ............. compared to other flying ....... is simplicity and ease of regulation (some might scoff at all that) If you got a car license you are medically OK to do some cheap ? Flying Gliding maybe also .......... I can't think of anything better to promote the sport than that Maybe we are in a doldrum cycle - we just need another good old fashioned economic boom (theres always one of those just around the corner !)

OK Callahan if you have done all the hours and experience (I'm sure you have) then let no one take that away from you - if you think this site or someone is then that's not fair ........ lots here shirley do welcome your posts and thoughts -

religion and law (including aviation law) are our fabrics of society - might as will throw in democracy as well (some unspeakable subjects mentioned there) ........... best known fabrics to date (of course, I could be convinced by good propaganda, though)

Thanks Keith $ 70 seems fair for some good people interaction (and probably smooth's over many legalities)
