  1. RAAus DID HF for everybody. CASA directed. Wasn't handled well. Plenty of crusty old Barstewards thought it was BS. Needs to be a constant up dated thing. CASA didn't want it considered in Investigations though (Guess why) Insurance companies gave credits for it.(Wisely) Another failed opportunity. Nev
  2. I don't think "Mr Cessna" would suggest it's use in other than "certain" Cessna's either. ( Liability) Instant IMC would be very rare. There's usually plenty of warning Also Under the hood (without cheating) is a very good way (SAFE , LEGAL & Accepted) to train for the IMC situation . Nev
  3. It's informative to look up what the Purpose of a Coronial Inquest is. It's quite specific. Also what qualifications a Coroner must have. Nev
  4. You won't achieve Justice often and perhaps not even the proper application of the LAW. The Richest Lawyers work for the CROOKS. Nev
  5. Coronial Inquests are NOT places where people should be, or have to be, using Lawyers Nev
  6. Who is a LEGAL Expert? The rest are uselessly speculating. The recent CBUS case (political) Just FINED the "Organisation " Millions of dollars". That was MEMBERS FUNDS. . RAAus should have Indemnity insurance for their Officers of some kind. No one in their right mind would do the Job without it . The Coroner is involved when some one dies to look into the cause of the death. That was the plane losing control and descending at a high Vertical speed probably due to Icing and spatial disorientation. No one forced the Pilot to fly that day. Coroners are often not full bottle on aircraft or medical etc. One said Motorbikes would be safer IF they didn't lean over so much. Nev
  7. Engine vibration is destructive also. All these senders are quite Unreliable. It's a harsh environment for them Nev
  8. Was that Helpful? It's not too big a hope that Members do feel they have a stake in the RAAus continuing to exist. . IF it doesn't what's next? Warbirds are in a similar position regarding the extent of possible liability. IF it's too high It's just NOT affordable, by Normal people. Nev
  9. That could be ONE interpretation. I wonder what he LEGAL interpretation of THAT is.? I looked it up. Quite nebulous. You are entitled to Be told the Limits of your liability as a Member. Nev
  10. It DID go to the Cessna POH which would be presumptuous to apply Carte Blanche. Planes have different Stability Parameters. A more "Neutral" plane is better in turbulence and the spiral situation. Nev
  11. The Thread title IS VFR into IMC. Nev
  12. Does everybody fly Cessna High wings? Nev
  13. IF the ball is not centred you will feel a sideways force in your seat. It's unbalanced flight. (skidding). Nev
  14. Ground to Tower also. SMC Towers don't fly. Nev
  15. ICAN would be obsolete OK in an old Warbird I guess for looks. ( Single pointer) Based on a different standard atmosphere Same as the Old Nickel plated Brass Prayer wheel. I'd have one of those somewhere. Nev
  16. It's not that easy to move around in an upside down Plane or get out of the doors and windows. . IF you're waiting because others are in the way you might as well phone people.. It's instinctive. It wasn't burning inside. Nev
  17. IF you haven't done any In cloud flying then do some (under the hood. supervised ) and then return to the conversation My post above about not being able to tell where DOWN IS, is the crux of the matter. In a Basic simulator you don't experience the disorientating forces you do in REAL situation. If you have an autopilot use that. IT doesn't KNOW it's in cloud. Go into a COMPLETELY dark room and turn around about four times. . Recovery from a Spiral has to be quickly executed. (with ailerons) because SPEED is building up fast and your instinct is to pull the stick back. Nev
  18. Is NOTHING sacred? Nev
  19. A boomerang is a flying wing but has a bit of a Yaw PROBLEM would many of these things FLY if you threw them out of a plane?. Nev
  20. Everyone thinks they will always know which way "DOWN" is . Not so. Nev
  21. They had fire hoses on it quickly, Canadians don't panic easily. They are cooler than most People. They are even COOL on Trump. Nev
  22. ....... and do not collect 200. A Suite with Bubba at Bluestone College. That will keep you on your toes. Nev
  23. Wouldn't work with some planes that aren't spiral stable You MUST roll the wings level with ailerons quickly. Nev.
