pmccarthy Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 With every one of those incidents, my first reaction would be to consider giving up flying. Then I would just decide to never do that thing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flightrite Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I enjoy this guys vids but he sure is hard to understand! Lucky they got out of that unscathed! Its a high risk adventure this guy does the places he goes, he is a braver man than me:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Binghi Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Just had a look-see at the Vortex Generator vid. Some nice flying shots in it. There were one approach though where he had the stall warning going off a long way out from touch down. Makes me nervous just watching it. In my opinion, in the sort of ops the video depicts, there’s no need to be flying slow until yer near touchdown. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flightrite Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) Ive watched quite a few of this guys Vids, apart from putting my feet to sleep with his monotone drawl they are interesting:-) The way I look at VG's is that if you need them to get in & out of a particular strip then ya gotta ask yourself, do I need to be operating at the high end of the risk scale? Short field Ldg's are all about energy management, most never practice them as 99% of the time as yr average GA driver has no need too.

Garfly Posted August 13, 2021 Author Share Posted August 13, 2021 (edited) That guy knows what he is doing. And most normal people think anyone involved in ultralights ought to be asking themselves "Do I need to be operating at the high end of the risk scale?"

Student Pilot Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Needs bigger tyres! 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBob Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 2 hours ago, Student Pilot said: Needs bigger tyres! 😁 I think part of the appeal of this guy was that he was doing this stuff with a nosewheel and not overly large tires on a 182. The 182 came to grief, but that was principally due to engine failure, which seems to have been due to foreign matter blocking an oil passage.

Geez, Flighty, even when you come across a recreational flyer with first class stick and rudder skills (and an exemplary safety message) you still manage to pull a negative message from it. You're never happy, are ya! Truth be told, I'd fly to any strip with that BC182 bloke, in a heartbeat, given the chance. (Or, for that matter, with any experienced, right minded, PNG pilot on their daily mountain milk run.) BC182 sums it up in the vid: "Flying in the mountains can be very rewarding but you've got to do your homework and you've got to get the training." Done right, there's no reason we can't seek that kind of reward in OZ - without, necessarily, strewing bodies everywhere. (Anyway, at our age, we're not even safe in a simulator. ;- ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
