  1. Not all males are like that. It's called "SELF DISCIPLINE" and IF you don't have it watch out. Sorry, you'd have to have self discipline to watch out, but you get the drift. Nev
  2. Yeah YOU keep SAYING that, but it doesn't provide the answer to the real issue . Exposure to an almost UNLIMITED LIABILITY more so than most other sports you would compare it to. Nev.
  3. His Partner , More than anyone else KNEW what HE was like. HIS flawed JUDGEMENT caused the event. No Amount of training could have ruled that out. THAT was the REAL CAUSE, was it not? Nev
  4. IS ALL of THAT good? I don't see your point. Surely WE need stability and the assurance that goes with it? When people stuff around participants lose Money and get Older, waiting. Nev
  5. By making a few assumptions. The bloke was a proven overconfident person with exceptional demonstrated abilities. Most likely airframe icing brought the Plane down. . When you have ice the control, performance and stall speed change massively and the window can be obscured. I've had extreme icing in that area when NIL Icing was on the forecast. Extremely LUCKY to survive it in a DC 4. Had icing also West of Albury in a Mooney. Had to descend fast. to warmer air.. Nev
  6. Why don't YOU tell US how you would fix it? Litigants have a right to get Justice also. . I contend you can't contract out of a liability you have under Federal Govt Legislation. The CASA is the Authority on things in the AIR. I've been through the later rules. It Implies your liability is ONE dollar as a member. I saw no mention of shareholder. Nev
  7. Turbo runs this line constantly but clearly there is a lingering problem that at some time must be addressed.. Nev
  8. It's about decision making Methusala, and the fact He was not pressured as one might be in other circumstances. As I also mentioned, Human Factors. Nev
  9. IF CASA let RAAus go down the drain who will replace them and don't CASA have an ongoing responsibility to monitor their performance? I've always believed the Potential Liability is too large to be carried by such an organisation. The CASA has the ULTIMATE responsibility here and I don't believe they can "conveniently" contract out of it. IF the members are have a liability beyond the $1 Then THEY should have been made aware of it long ago. Nev
  10. It's MY Avatar Nev
  11. If it isn't full, why restrict it? Nev
  12. Always so critical. It's free speech here isn't it AND where am I wrong? I said the IDEA is fine. Just do it properly and I'm suggesting it's NOT easy. Nev
  13. Only speaking from my own experience but I've attended a lot of engine maintenance courses and gotten little out of them and often see people advocating erroneous procedures. The IDEA is fine. Just do the actual facts. There are less and less people with these skills than there ever was.. Nev
  14. I've flown plenty of Jabirus and if you only fly in good weather, you are not trained. I'm happy to fly on a basic panel where it's appropriate. and looking what's going on Outside. to fly a squared circuit. (Allow for drift). Nev
  15. The above post is in response to Brendon. Nev
  16. You are not looking at the bigger picture. HE did what no instructor could have reasonably anticipated. I've taken off in conditions where the conditions are marginal. It's done all the time in RPT.. HE got into trouble later. IF it had been a better day we would not be talking about it.. Nev
  17. SHE only varies the group She Hates at the Moment. That gives her Party enough votes to fund it. SHE went to the USA to get the NRA to throw some funding her way. Pretty GRIM. Nev
  18. In relation to the WEATHER. EVEN some HIGH hours Pilots are guilty of that. It's a HUMAN FACTORS issue. Nev
  19. Having Clive Palmer cancels that out.. PLUS Pauleen (please explain). Nev
  20. Everyone LIKES to Hate Victoria. That was just a basic Geography lesson, No offence intended towards Mexicans.. Nev
  21. Ther's some plastic bits where the aileron actuators come out of each side and the elevator bell crank is a Must work item. Nev
