  1. You get nowhere with that sort of thing. It's for Social Climbers. Nev
  2. You Blokes should collaborate and write "ZEN and the Art of Flying". Nev
  3. You're sourcing from a Heli Promoting site. Coal mining companies promote coal. Nuclear doesn't tell you the downsides either. Nev
  4. That's an "Intuative" answer. In Practice it might work out differently. 50 Hours on a Basic type? Unnecessarily restrictive IMHO. Don't get in a rut where anything different throws you. Landings in the same plane can be different. Don't do anything by numbers.. Fly to the conditions. . An aeroplane at max Wt. is a lot different to when it's light. Nev
  5. Then put your luggage outside with it's OWN wings. Why should others subsidise your excess baggage and your obesity. The plane is weight limited. It's called PAYload. Nev
  6. Never meet her, dat Rita. NEVer
  7. Hi Franco. Keep it up. Best regards. Nev
  8. Riding a motorbike on the road is about the same risk, these days. Nev
  9. Pathetic Turbs. YOU have been abusive of ME since this Forum started. . I strongly reject the suggestion that I abuse people. Substantiate it or don't state it. Nev
  10. It's a Place with a great Legacy. I used to go there regularly. Nev
  11. We should ALL be FACT hunters. Nev
  12. You can change hands. Long term, flying a variety of planes is beneficial to the way you fly. You become more versatile and adaptive. Better. Nev
  13. Do you have heli experience? They are complex and don't cope with any mechanical failure well, whereas a Jet liner is very system redundant and an all engines out airliner will glide over 100 NM from 33,000 feet and remains fully controllable at all times. Rotary wing are also maintenance and inspection intensive and hard to fly slow in cloud and most would say more difficult to fly well. .Nev
  14. Such comments SHOULD be in Social Australia. Its just a matter of the appropriate place. Aren't pilots supposed top be self disciplined? Nev
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. IF that statement belongs anywhere it NOT Here. Try Social Australia and try to justify your ridiculous assertion . Nev
  19. The roof of a chopper is the strong part. Would require a massive force to cause that sort of damage. Nev
  20. It was originally ABLE BAKER CHARLIE DOG. Nev
  21. You are talking to the converted here. Meanwhile, Get on with your life. It's a lot better than GAZA, Ukraine and Sudan. Nev
  22. 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
  23. This is just the beginning. A hurdle to jump. Good luck on your Journey. WHEN you stop learning you become dangerous. Nev
  24. Was it Box ticking exercise? Nev
  25. Part of the Aircraft roof cam away as well. Massive force required to do this. Nev
