    Please don't delete your posts DJP. I haven't read all of them yet, but what I have read have been way too valuable to us ordinary pilots for them to be simply trashed. Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    I for one am hoping that when the ATSB report comes out, there'll be enough information in it that it'll allow me to form an informed opinion... How's that for hmmm speak? Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    I for one since this thread started Turbz, have downloaded all four of Noel Kruse's free books and have advised six of my friends of the books existence. All six of these friends, like me, used to work for Noel and Phil Asterley back in the late seventies during the Caribou days. Only one of the six has come back to me and said he'd already been told of the books earlier this year, but then, Dave is now a semi retired Sqn Ldr in the reserves. Dave made the comment that Noel is making a lot of sense, and that to this day, when Dave does something close to the edge of the box, he still thinks to himself, "What would Phil say about this?" Given Noel's acknowledgement of Phil's input to the books, it seems reasonable to expect the answer to be in there somewhere. Hear hear... Post edited to repair broken quote formating - Mod.

    G'day Darky, I agree with CFI, but I will make a couple of comments... 1/ When you don't know the answer, do not be afraid to say, "I don't know, but I'll find out for you"... 2/ When you do know the answer, don't tell them the answer outright, instead, ask your student, "Where will we find that in the book?" Then if necesary, lead them to it... 3/ Don't ever ask a student a question that you don't know the answer to... On the matter of experience/competence... please be advised that after almost 30 years of instructing in aviation, I've yet to have a student who didn't teach me something... As CFI said Darkie; Go with your heart... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    Q/ The three most feared comments on a multicrew flight deck???... A/ 1/ A Capt who says, "Yeah,,, well watch this." 2/ A First Officer who says, "I've got an idea." 3/ Or a Flight Engineer who says, "Oh shit." Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    In so, so many ways... Could you imagine a CEO getting a bonus in the 80's for closing down her factory, putting 1800 people out of work, and having her underpants made overseas?

    A top bloke from the UK???... And you only charged him $10 for that oxymoron??? Seriously Greg, welcome... it's a fun place where sometimes, we do get serious... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    Oh Lord: The Gatts having Gittens... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    But I do recall my Uncle Vic coming into the homestead with a huge part of his hat brim missing. He'd used it to make a new gasket for one of the well water pumps. Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    You're doing it again Turbs... You're advocating logic... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    Welcome to the friendly skies John

    That's a good article... Thank you for pointing us to it, Tecsar... It amplifies what we were talking about a while back on another thread. When we change our fuel configuration, it pays to monitor the fuel pressure and engine until we're sure the new configuration is working for us. Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    OK,,, You're right Spin,,, there are some valid questions to be asked. I tend to get a bit cranky when people say things about an "Incident/Mishap" without knowing the facts, like the twitter Darren told us about in post #3, "So the kudos are for the flight planning that saw him run out of fuel"? And then I've gone and ranted without thinking it through... Sorry. Note to self... Bad Wayne, bad!!!... Don't do that again...
  21. Wayne T Mathews
    That was a damn good read, Turbo... Thank you... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.

    Makes ya wonder doesn't it, when someone who wasn't there has a kick at the guy's crotch, from the safety of some office... Darren is right, anyone swiping at this bloke is NOT an airman.
  23. Wayne T Mathews
    An excellent outcome. Irrespective of the reason, the guy knew he was running out of fuel, so he landed on a deserted road to get some more. How good is that? An incident with a happy ending for a change. Well done that man...
  24. Wayne T Mathews
    Say what???... You want the facts???... Fair go, Turbs... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.
  25. Wayne T Mathews
    Excuse me???... Sounds to me like a harsh comment to make, unless you know the facts... Keep the sunny side up, Wayne.
