When I bought my Foxbat back in 2016 had the pleasure of dealing with both Peter & Ido, did my acceptance flight with Ido, he was an exceptional pilot & a real gentleman, RIP Ido.

The wizz wheel (computer) for pilots is like trigonometry tables for high school & uni students, know that they exist & can be found in a museum, the world has moved on.

I’ll be there if the weather gods are kind.

Well I’ve been awarded my wings by the RAAF many years ago & since then have flown for a number of airlines, EVERY AIRLINE pilot in the world has a set of wings to be worn as part of your uniform, as far as aero club’s as mentioned by fachunter I like the idea.

CX700Z was due to a bomb onboard, exploded over South Vietnam, insurance scam by an alleged Thai policeman who put his fiancee & daughter on the flight & took out a large policy just before the flight.

If I remember my Performance A from many years ago, basically the second segment climb gradient of a 2 engine a/c is 2.4% & a 4 engine a/c it’s 3.0% which gives you better obstacle clearance following an engine failure at V1. Other reasons they chose 4 engines was greater redundancy plus better takeoff performance from short runways.

Very true, the only a/c that had 5 APU’s 😂

We had a 3 engine ferry procedure on the BAe146 when I flew it with National Jet Systems, actually used it once to get an a/c to the BNE maintenance facility.

Let my class 1 expire as I didn’t require it anymore, did the class 5 which was seamless, emailed it the RAAUS for them to update my records, just received an email from them, RAAUS are unable to accept CASA class 5 medical certificates at this time as the Ops Manual has not been updated, work in progress.

Irrelevant nav aid from the last century, Boeing & Airbus no longer have the ADF installed in their a/c, GPS/RNAV/RNP is the way everyone is going including GA for obvious reasons of cost, no flight testing of NAVAID required which causes traffic delays etc.

A beautiful morning flight around Moreton Island with a mate, priceless.😊

I will not be forced to Foreflight when the inevitable happens, think I’ll be like a lot of Ozrunways customers & take my business to AVPLAN.

Hey Don, this would have to be one of the best statements I’ve ever read reference private/recreational flying, I agree with you 💯%.

Also the Cirus is not certified for flight into know icing conditions.

250KIAS at 5000’ equals 270KTS TAS, Flightradar24 displays ground speed.
