Those planes would have a good chance of fetching a good price in todays circumstances. Some "Equity " people are the most ruthless. Nev

Thanks for the assurance.   Nev

Filled up and operated on the right routes they are still viable. No?  Nev

How is it that CASA contacts YOU about what's on this site Turbs. Nev

Anything over 20 years old would be pretty ordinary. Anything used commercially would have a million K's on it . .  Nev

The black one is "indexed" properly.   Nev.

Nobody reconditions motors these days unless it's for something historic or collectable.   Nev

It's done by exhaust gas recirculation which reduces combustion temps but also reduces efficiency so more CO2./ km  The worst pollution is diesel particulates for human health and SO2 where the fuel is really crook. .  Nev 

Makes plants grow. Generated naturally by lightning.  Called laughing gas, used as an anaesthetic.  Nev

If an idling motor cut out you generally would not  make the strip, either. On  a forced landing you should aim about 1/3rd down the strip to ensure you make the strip. Better to hit the far fence at walking speed than the near one at flying speed. Nev

IF you don't use power in gusts you are depriving yourself of  a very useful extra control. A motor idling is more likely to stall  than one at say 1/4 power  On a short strip for landing it's useful also.  Nev

I've been a life time motorcyclist but IF they were Invented now they'd never be allowed on the road. Nev

Surely not?  Has she taken out a lot of Insurance on you?  Nev

After 4 YEARS I thought a bit of drift might be OK.   Nev

Nothing wrong with that, John...   CASA have made some crazy statements at times. They said no plane can get into the air without an ASIC  Retracted about a week later.    Nev

I've done it the other way around but why WOULD it be allowed? Maybe you have been lucky  so far. VH is ICAO compliant.  RAAus operates on dispensations. Anyhow your argument is with the CASA.. Nev

I don't think a Check in an RAAus plane will cover a VH.  Without a current medical you can't legally fly the VH unless it's a TIF with an instructor.  Nev

Take off power is MAX on pistons and is where the mixture is enrichened to reduce detonation. It's often limited to 5 minutes use.  Nev

Do you also have a VH licence?  

"If" and "Might" but the prime aim is Aviate. Don't lose control of the plane. #1.    Nev

Some people thrive on taking risks. Nev

Rude. Nev

Plenty of Airlines use leased planes .   Nev

Be  serious sometimes. Nev

WIKI is a good source but often requires verification and is so  captioned  717s are a Douglas derived Boeing takeover model and  were not outdated..  Nev
