    these 'big birds' obviously have smoke or heat detection systems - what sort of fire suppression systems do they have ? ............... and at altitude is there any oxygen to burn ?

    boat 804 - F is the next letter after E (Egypt) .................... cooukie (not spooky)

    would they have to be 5 commercial pilots ? ............................. or would PPL's be able to handle the added responsibility of smoke coming out the exhaust ? (curious about that)

    nice one Bula ! ................. tell us the planes you have and a rough hire rate (s)

    yes sealed side - between o-ring and fuel think it might be just a locator - so cap goes into socket true ?

    Ayecapt ................ try this if you like ? - its worked for a lot of others remove cap (or course) tip cap upside down (of course) on base of cap - now on top cause you have tipped it over (of course) you will see a thin white / pvc plastic disc (diameter of cap) - if you use a sharp knife you can trim the excess that overhangs the edge of cap - like peeling an apple - no lubricant required

    spoke to a bloke the other day and out of the 12 ! syndicate members - only 6 flew it (the rest didn't fly it) ..................... syndicate is potentially a good idea (me thinks)

    'At no point are you supposed to die during this phase, but there's not much room for error' - well put Sorry Dutch - for those with lower smarts ................ theoretically: - can there be a difference between V1 & V2 - is (or could there be with some aircraft) there a 'zone' between the 2 - or is it, when you get to V1, you are guaranteed to get to V2
  15. johnm
    ...... plough the ground Roundsounds (not plough into it) - a farmer ploughs / furrows the ground V1 is a decision speed - go or stop V2 is fly away safely Between V1 & V2 (assuming they are different speeds ?) you are going back to the ground Correct or wrong ??????????
  16. johnm
    .................. Just to get a better understanding of this - below V1 - an airline pilot can handle an engine out - they can stop on the strip or an overshoot area ? Between V1 & V2 - its a metal tube that might plough the grouund ? - not good to have an engine out in this zone At V2 you can fly away to safety (relative safety) Thanks

    a while back I was talking to a colleague about 'who was the person that attempted suicide' (I did not know who it was). The person stated it was them. I talked through it the best I could and was pleased I did (we did not discuss if they had sort professional help) .................. if I had of known it was that person that tried to suicide would I have approached them ? - I hope I would have I'd suggest that most of us would avoid that person as we would assume 'others are dealing with it'

    don't go to close for my sake :D ............................ nice to see some cb's and some horizon if you see any (like you have been) thanks FHWM

    Caboolture would be cheaper hangar rent and other things than Redcliffe ? - good to hear a locals opinion on that .............. thanks
  21. johnm

  22. johnm
    CASA for flying & appropriate license ATO for tax
  23. johnm
    all the jet pack needs is some of this .......................... it might restrict the driver though:
  24. johnm
    Thanks OME ...................... if I am ever in front of the man with the dead sheep skin on his cranium - I'll remember 5L
  25. johnm
    .................. OK, if I had a flying flea (a plane) - and I could fly to some place and back (with either a cost saving in time or even a cost saving in something that created an income (perhaps delivering something I owned)) ........... then that plane has derived (or helped derive) an income - so it must be fair game as a tax deduction ? makes no difference if its got Qantas on the side or RAA numbers
