    yes Phil - out of curiosity where would say the 4 closest ultralights strips be from Wellington ?

    '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
  4. 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 ??????????

    .................. 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'

    Thanks OME ...................... if I am ever in front of the man with the dead sheep skin on his cranium - I'll remember 5L

    .................. 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
  15. johnm
    Free and very cheap tax advice follows: Unless you do a lot of hours - I'd go with the hourly rate, a comparable hourly rate if you had to hire the same plane from someone (long as you consider $ value / residual value of plane, no instructor wages etc) Not really defensible charging $ 400 / hour for a 'flying flea' ...................... I wouldn't think Not really defensible if plane costs you $ 15k per year to insure, house, fix and run and you only did 10 hours and 4 hours of that was business - Mr tax commissioner would take a very dim view of a deduction of 4 hours @ $ 1,500 = $ 6,000 (there would probably be an entirely different argument if the plane was 100 % business and owned 100 % by a business)

    .............. and its good to see even though we got little ones and they got big ones that they are willing to share their thoughts here
  17. johnm
    ........... and I think - with any notice of a potential claim to the insurer - the insured cannot admit any liability / wrong doing (these are usual standard rules of 'insurance cover' with the insurance Co)
  18. johnm
    ......... but the first officer eventually becomes a captain (more often than not) ................. what changes ? ...................... does the extra money and power make that person a pompous clod (I'd also be guessing all captains are n't pompous clods)
  19. johnm
    .....& what will they do when the 797 is eventually made
  20. johnm
    your lucky ? dutch ...................... you fly them I think its every pilots dream to be called up front to take over - however, upon your advice and consideration - I'll just return to my seat and wait for the crunch
