    Such comments SHOULD be in Social Australia. Its just a matter of the appropriate place. Aren't pilots supposed top be self disciplined? Nev

    It's not ONE /2.9 MILLION chopper movements at Moorabbin . You need a separate rate for choppers to be meaningful. There's been plenty of horrific Heli crashes lately. Serious crash investigators don't use the term "Pilot error" a lot these days. They look for the reason something happened. Nev

    I flew a plane For flight test and the rest of the hours for a friend. Generally the flying is just close circuits at the Home airport and the testing is conducted where you can land easily IF anything goes wrong also at the home circuit. I was one of the Instructors there. HE wanted ME to do it. It amounts to a LOT of landings and you mustn't get bored and relax too much. It's a shakedown and proving period so you must be alert always. Nev

    BOTH magneto's failing at the same time is hard to believe. Low inertia rotors are more difficult/critical to do auto rotates with. . Yes there's a LOT of Robbo's around. Nev

    IF that statement belongs anywhere it NOT Here. Try Social Australia and try to justify your ridiculous assertion . Nev

    The roof of a chopper is the strong part. Would require a massive force to cause that sort of damage. Nev

    It was originally ABLE BAKER CHARLIE DOG. Nev

    You are talking to the converted here. Meanwhile, Get on with your life. It's a lot better than GAZA, Ukraine and Sudan. Nev

    You shouldn't have much trouble finding a competent pilot to fly the remainder of the 25 Hour s of. It's a shake down, best done somewhere where a problem is easy to cope with. Nev

    This is just the beginning. A hurdle to jump. Good luck on your Journey. WHEN you stop learning you become dangerous. Nev

    Was it Box ticking exercise? Nev

    Part of the Aircraft roof cam away as well. Massive force required to do this. Nev

    I'd expect them to be TRENDING down with better equipment but IT's NOT good. Per flying hour on Kms based it wouldn't be near as safe as RPT fixed wing and they don't carry large Numbers of passengers. so don't kill as many per hull loss. . Nev

    CASA doesn't insure aircraft or pay for it unless they Operate it. . Nev

    These days a 2 litre motor could be Over 200 HP. Fowler flaps increase the wing area when they are extended. That's why they are the Best. Nev

    Yeah Everybody knows that stuff. sorry. Nev

    .18 is almost .2 which is !/5th of a Km.=s 1000 metres so just under 200 metres 180 is 90% of 200. . Any distance covered / time elapsed is a speed. Speed change/elapsed time is acceleration rate.. Nev

    The plastic one we carried in our pockets buckled with the heat, we were that fast. Nev

    facthunter commented on red750's aircraft in Warbirds

    Great weight lifting ability for structure and power.. Nev

    Much more any time I've checked the figures. They are not as safe as fixed wing partly due to the Nature of their operations but they are maintenance intense. Not one of the US choppers sent to rescue the Hostages in IRAN got there.. Nev

    You've been told that before. You're flogging a Dead horse. I don't like it either/ It doesn't even count points towards a Passport being issued. RAAus represents the CASA Only something LIKE AOPA can do anything. . Nev

    Safest form of NUCLEAR.. and by far the cheapest. source of Electricity. Nev
