    The pilot of the Jab that landed in the paddock was very new, in fact this may have been his first trip away as PIC (apart from navex). Anyways, he did mention on the news he feared the door might come off and cause real damage so he elected to make a precautionary landing.

    Sounds like squelch problems. Radio squelch should be adjusted so background noise is not heard. Normally adjusted when the engine is running. Don't wind on too much squelch or weaker signals will not be heard. Intercom squelch is similar but normally adjusted so your voice can be heard (and your passengers voice) but background noise cannot. Are you twiddling your knobs accordingly?

    I posted, then deleted, then reposted, so now all will be confused because responses precede the posting. Kinda like fooling about with time I guess.

    The worst open door incident I had was when my passenger decided he was going to vomit after becoming very sick during a rough flight. In a PA28, he opened the door to stick his head out but the slip stream was too strong. I throttled back to about 70 knots, added some flap and held her steady. Next minute my mate removes his seat belt and leans right out saying he doesn't want any chunder coming back in the plane. With about half his body out the plane he suddenly slips out, due to turbulence. Oh God I thought, just grabbing his ankle in time. For what seemed forever we're flying around with me holding his ankle and trying to keep the plane flying and him screaming and carrying on like a fool. Gradually I realised he sounded like a girl and was somehow slapping my face. Confused and bewildered I slowly woke to find my girl friend slapping me about and yelling "What the hell are you doing, let go of my ankle you idiot" at the top of her voice. That was some dream, probably caused by the pizza. (This story has been embellished with exaggerations and lies for your amusement, oh, and to test the new system.)

    I remember in 1971 a teacher at school saying how we (Australia) will be invaded by starving millions because food and productive land will have run out in most other countries.

    Because they are as thick as a dunny brush? I know sheep that can read and write better than some people.

    Standard adult weight of 87kg. I remember when it was 70kg.

    Probably because of poorly designed software and operating systems. (All the good programmers have retired)

    If I were the pilot I would have dropped into the hospital and given that passenger what he wanted.
  11. Jabiru7252
    Guilty as charged! But, I still want to hear the passenger side of the story. As for the pilot in command, that must have been a very scary thing...
  12. Jabiru7252
    I am itching to here the passenger have his say. Maybee the pilot was doing sumthing bizzare and the passenger needed to get control. Who nos?

    Well, so far you're the only one who picked up on my typo. The spelling these days is shameful, my comment is not about being better or smarter than the next guy, it's about being around long enough to see the dumbing down of education for various reasons to the point where it is at the same standard as mine was as a ten year old almost fifty years ago. The folks who brought about this shameful dumbing down should be dragged screaming and naked into the street and beaten on the kidneys with big tree branches. Then again, I guess it is all part of the bogan society that we have become. Safe flying....

    The are MANY here who need to learn how to SPELL!!!

    If my rego doesn't arrive on time, I'll hire the club aircraft and send RAAus the bill.

    Why were the golfers hitting the trees?
  18. Jabiru7252
    Hmmm, so the gravitron doesn't distort space and time which results in a turn?

    The man next door said his wife could hear voices coming from her Lowrey organ. Thinking she was going batty he was ready to call the men in the white coats. Then, he heard the voices. It was me! My Ham Radio transmissions were being picked up quite clearly. Wrapping the speaker wire in the organ around a ferrite rod cured the problem. (The speaker wire was acting as an antenna, feeding the RF back into the organs electronics)

    Was that today? (Sunday 22nd) because it was blowing madly and very nice flying weather around Parafield.
  21. Jabiru7252
    Roscoe, is this an ongoing problem? I can remember times when at Parafield the tower would say 'unreadable' when replying to my taxi call but as I taxied to a different location things would come good. It's not something as simple as that is it?

    I started my career as a radio Tradesman in the early 70s. An AM transmitter is as simple as one can hope for and I am often astonished at the problems an aircraft radio can produce. To be honest, a lot of problems I have seen (heard) have been folks yelling into the mic or low voltage at the transmitter during transmit. I hope your problems is solved quickly. I jumped ship and got into I.T. when electronics got smaller than what my eyeballs could handle.

    Went for a quick blast then on landing, nearly copped a face full of bird... http://users.adam.com.au/kleb/welcome.html Scroll down to find the link to the video....

    What was the make and model of the GPS from Dick Smiths? Can you provide us a link to the WACs?
  25. Jabiru7252
    You can always Google how GPS works.
