Flightrite

….oh it’s becoming rocket science😂😂

Personally I use 60 mins res everywhere drive my planes, remember min 30 mins is what you must have at the completion of landing, that’s cutting it too fine for me. some years ago I was about to join the circuit after a lengthy flight to a drome where there was a 25 kt westerly and EW & NS Rwy’s, only trouble was that a plane had flipped on landing on the EW strip and people where frantically trying to remove the driver so hence to say either take the 25 kt X wind or divert elsewhere, hence 30 mins to me is not enuf! I even double the min gas on the Jet I fly as well!

This subject can be over thought in some ways. Simple solution is work out the worst case rearward CoG and Fwd CoG with these numbers/weights handy and use them as a limit, anything less weight wise is obviously ok👍

Hmmm dunno, I’ll ask a journo……yep just as I thought, it’s a Cessna😂

The boys are busy over the Grampians!

Defiant👍

Where’s my thread drifting popcorn?😉

I was actually ref to Pvt pilots, I use the term ‘ drivers’ as that’s all I see we pilots are, just drivers of machinery!🤮 Road drivers? Well that’s a whole other nightmare😂

I spent 13 years with Mobil Oil, you’d be surprised the crap that’s in fuel especially diesel!

Nah that’s real believe me……..after a heavy night drinking there’s always two of everything😂

That about sums it up in a nut shell!👍

A few mornings ago. Yoid never get me in one of these bloody things!😂

The sad part is with these types of accidents is that it’s totally unnecessary to die this way! Discipline I find is hugely lacking in a lot of Pvt drivers, some simply have no idea, some don’t care and some shouldn’t be in charge of a lawn mower!

I look at it this way, if you need to use E fuel of any description then ya gotta ask yourself, can I afford to operate any donk? Fuel is the known cheap part of operating a flying machine!

They have both, RA and VH. It’s one of the neatest kept airfields around I reckon👍
