What do you mean.

i know of someone who did exactly that. he left the ground and panicked, cut the throttle stalled the left wing. wrote off his $30,000 plane and went to hospital for a few days.

ok. i just thought the heat would effect them. its funny i was just looking at facebook and an airbus video of testing tyres came on. i am sure facebook know what we are thinking.

hours and calendar time can be on condition for non training aircraft. they will just ask for an annual and 5 year replacement to be done. but i thought gazelles were factory built which means you can't work on it. has to be an l2. i think your carb needles are worn because that causes the issues you describe. as blue said wal is the man to talk to. very cluey and a gentleman as well.

the bloke asked for advice and he got it.

Have you forgot your medication again. 😁

. They were circling Daly's farm where the youngest one lived. They were not flying to Maffra because there is no airfield at Maffra. Daly's are a well known local family.

retreads are bad news on trucks let alone a large jet. seems a bad way to save money.

unreal, its natural to think water cools the tyres not the opposite

no mention of stripping and cleaning carbs. worn needles will do that to a 912.

Makes sense. How long does a tyre last on a big Boeing or airbus.

Had enough of the sad events of late so thought I would change the subject. Silly question but when big aircraft touch down the tyres squeal and smoke, I assume this is because the wheels are rotating slower than the aircraft speed. Why don't they have something like paddles on the rims to let the airflow spin up the wheels to a higher speed.

It's already on the net before I said anything. Ask f10 what the qnh was at the time. He flew just before them. Tinamba area is dead flat irrigation farms between 100 and 200 ft above sea level. It was around 28 deg

Off fr24 . I don't know how accurate it is. I would have thought it would be close. I am only guessing the same as everyone else. I still think it will turn out to be a stall spin . They had completed a couple of circuits around the farm before the accident . You are right it is a terrible tragedy and it's only 15 km from my house. The thought of losing so many family members at once is hard to contemplate. Rip.

That's a very condescending attitude. A lot of aircraft now can be raa reg or vh so you dismiss it if it's flown with vh reg. The one on Saturday could be raa if the backseat was removed. Anyway I am standing by my statement that there seems to be an aircraft accident on the news weekly. You only want to count aircraft with raas reg fair enough.
