    On my last flight with an instructor about 3 months ago, something was said that I didn't understand. In all the training I have done I have always been told to stay on the centre line when backtracking on a runway. But on that last flight we had to backtrack and when I got on the center line the instructor had a go at me and told me to get off the center line because it was bad airmanship. I was doing what every instructor has taught me then raises his voice and has a go at me for it. We did one circuit and I was still put off from getting that rebuke so I landed and said forget it . Why would it be bad airmanship to travel in the center line.

    that bloke on here when it happened said his mate. [the pilot] had rang casa and they said it was all good. no drama hitting a wall with a control surface then flying off .

    sorry peter. i was joking about dipacro. but your comments are incorrect, there are a lot of highly experienced people on this forum. i learn things all the time asking questions on here. i think you were a bit unfair to nev , he always endeavours to help with his knowledge as do several others.

    I apologise if I offended you. I know instructors can be quite fragile.

    An raaus pilot can not fly in cta so while it is good experience it is also a lot of money for no real gain with an raaus certificate.

    But does that endorsement convert straight to raas . If it does then I understand why people are recommending it.

    Moorabbin prices are a joke. Enough to put most people off raas . $490 per hr for a jabiru

    Why are people recommending ga training. He needs raaus.

    A Jetstar flight turned back this week because it blew a tyre on takeoff. Is there a risk of jamming the gear if they retract it or some other reason they don't fly on and change it at the destination.

    That happened to me on the way to Perth years ago. I hit a bump near Williams and the spare went rolling down the highway. Never left it loose in the trailer again.

    In the ultralight world we have ground adjustable props.
  14. BrendAn
    Offer is withdrawn.

    Bloke advertises for a prop and never replies again.

    It's a sad reflection on society that too often it turns out to be true.

    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.

    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.

    . 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
