    Depends on the diameter. It stands to reason it won't bend as easily as the other. Nev

    I said the two posts back. It's the "normal" way to do it. Nev

    Why did you expect it to? IF it did it would not do the Job. Thats also why it won't bend so easily. Maybe required bends may be done to order, as it is with rubber. It's an entirely different product

    DEAD has no relevance. I think they don't know the Meaning.. Nev

    Left it a Bit too late Brendon. I have a mate who would be the best instructor ever. Bit Maintenance intensive and VERY expensive in the bigger sizes. That was what some called them in PNG . I also feel safer in 3 axis fixed wing. Nev

    Just weigh the nosewheel and you will get a pretty good idea. IF you also do the others you can get it real close ( for your own purposes) Nev

    I think the process has become a lot more complex. Did the plans suggest a CofG to expect? if so keep track of the Variations and apply them (Wt change x Distance) for balance and add or subtract for Basic wt . Nev

    You will remember what you use regularly and look up the rest If you require it. It says DEAD reckoning I knew it as DR . Deduced. Note Z (ZULU) used in Met. Messages for those who didn't see it as current recently. Nev

    You have to cut the wire in both instances. Do it FIRST and then mark where to cut the rest. Allow a bit extra to fiddle if you are not confident of getting it square . The "lined" one won't concertina like the other or be able to bend as well. Nev

    Then you have a record also. Nev

    If you have it at the front or even before it you get no negatives. which reduces the likelihood of error. The result has to fall within a stipulated range to be acceptable. Nev

    When I flew through cyclone KEN No aerodromes were closed It would depend on Local circumstances. Power outages debris on runways etc. I didn't get any turbulence Just a bit of St Elmos at the edges of the windows. Nev

    That's what in flight weather radar is for and each pilot makes their own assessment. . Nev
  14. facthunter
    Pilots make the decision to divert due weather en route except in the case of an aerodrome being declared closed. Nev

    Still not helpful. It was a genuine question.. Sems like a lot of aircraft. Nev
  16. facthunter
    Be nice. About the number of aircraft? Nev
  17. facthunter
    It's not as nice as the Place you Left. Nev

    That's because they are treated with better drugs. Plenty Of heart specialists don't like the stress ecg for older people at all and it is of reduced intensity when done. From what you write, you actually don't appear to know much about it. Nev
  20. facthunter
    They don't do you any good either or guarantee no heart problems going forward. Nev

    Genuine Factory approved Parts carry a warrantee and an assurance that it meets OEM standards . Just any aftermarket No name, is lucky to fit with no comeback. Some Brand names like Koni or Bilstein Brembo may be better than original There would be oil filter brands that can be relied on and SOME may even be superior to original, but plenty I would NOT fit if they were free. Especially on an aeroplane. ,IF the fit of the thread on the nipple is not good, check why.

    I'd estimate it at about 60. , Nev

    I know of a bloke who was too fat and did it by injecting adrenalin to het the Pulse rate up ATPL. Nev

    IT would NOT be a GENUINE FORD "Motorcraft" hose for sure. Do you believe every thing you ,read Turbs? nev
  25. facthunter
    They are not stress rated for much more, nor are airliners. IF you hit turbulence at the same time it's additive. 60 is 2 G that's safe in still air Goa bit more and it increases faster per degree. ..Nev
