    No they don’t.

    That’s verse two.

    I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail Yes I would If I could I surely would

    Have never been able to wear sunglasses driving or flying. They upset my depth perception. I feel like I am not in the real world when I am wearing them. Wish I could, because glare often bothers me.

    Miserably cold and overcast again today. No shed work or flying. Dog is despondent. Wife has gone for morning tea with her mates. Still waiting for the ground to dry out to mow the nature strip.

    Never used headsets with Cherokees in the bad old days.

    I think it was a quarry, not a mine. Kangaroos can tell the difference. 😀

    If you investigate fatals only you learn nothing statistically valid about the cause of accidents, you have to have an accident and incident reporting system that works,

    ATSB has a limited budget and in future will not investigate all GA fatals unless the investigation is likely to lead to insights that prevent future serious accidents ie multiple fatals.

    I bought a little Garmin dongle that makes my iPad precise. But no longer need it as the Skyecho does the same job

    Raa decision is good. We have been paying for investigations but not seeing results. If there is no learning to be had, no point to activity.

    Centre stick Vixxen has throttles on the panel. Flap lever still awkward like many high wings eg Auster

    I had a FS Texan some years ago and enjoyed it too. Reasonable cruise and short field performance. They seem to have gone out of fashion, haven’t seen a new one for a while. Would still suit me but SWMBO doesn’t like stepping up on a wing any more.

    I have an A22 and am about to take delivery of a new A32. It will do everything that I need. Decent cruise speed, autopilot, low stall speed. As an ex GA pilot, the thing I like most is knowing you can put these down in a very tight spot if needed.

    With full flap, my Foxbat stiffens up and feels like my Archer. It really feels like it has inertia and stability, like a different aeroplane.

    No, but I put the dill in daffodil.

    They are now called AKMs. I think he was a bit of a dinosaur.

    Surely a key skill is judging distances and having the threshold at 45 degrees. I was never taught to use points on the ground and have never done so.

    Apparently people with electric cars in the Ukraine are having to charge them from portable petrol generators.

    Engineer is not a protected title. Any spanner man can call himself an engineer. So what you did is fine!
  24. pmccarthy
    Should those be $B numbers?

    I understand that the Microsoft flight simulator interfaces with a VR headset. My stepson has one and I tried it out, quite realistic. If you had a good set of pedals and stick it would be convincing.
