    The old three point versus wheeler discussion. You cannot categorically say one or the other is best. It depends on the aircraft, runway length / surface, pilot, weather and load to mention a few factors. I only ever 3 pointed a Beech 18 once, whereas the Pitts I would rather three point. Most others I would either three point or wheel depending on many variables. Cessna 180 into Yerranderie (2000’ elevation and 400m with a bend and hump in it) would rather wheel on a gusty day and three point on a calm day.

    I think PUA at Cessnock were offering online courses? (PUA - Phil Unicomb Aviation)

    Agree, however the manuals should be first consulted. I’ve seen way too many people who aren’t aware of the existence or requirement to follow the manufacturers processes and simply “have a go” based on a mates advice.

    You should be referring to the manufacturers manuals and FAA AC 43 for maintenance guidance, not forums like this.

    I think VH-TIG lives at Goulburn NSW aerodrome and has done for many years. John Zyla is the owner as far as I know.

    Write the frequency and position to change it on your WAC / VNC.

    They should be grounded until fitted with BRS and pilots appropriately trained in the operation of the BRS (as per Cirrus)

    You’ll note CAAP numbers relate directly to a CAR, CASR or CAO. CAAP 92 was developed to provide guidance in satisfying the regulations under CAR 92. I reckon you’d be fighting a battle if you had an incident at an ALA not satisfying the CAAP.

    this aircraft seems to have problems stopping? Hawkesbury River over run 2020 Inverell over run 2018

    I’m afraid it has been found.

    The pic above is obviously of a past incident. Poor old girl, used and abused!

    Couldn’t agree more Nev. The process of investigating accidents and analysing data should be conducted by someone removed from the responsibility of aircraft operations and maintenance. The way things are now the Ops and Tech team would be biased against finding fault in their own depts. I work for an organisation with a very effective Safety Management System, it’s not difficult or expensive to maintain, but needs to be properly designed and transparent in its conduct.

    I tried to assist and was stonewalled.

    I still don’t see any effective analysis of incident data resulting in education or training to address common causes.

    If you cannot fly the aircraft safely in VMC without reference to instruments you should not be flying. This is particularly so when mustering.

    I see, let me try again! 8 Nov 2019.

    It’s straight off the Australian site. I just printed it to a PDF hence the format.

    I see SOAR resumed operations on 8/11/29.

    Very wise choice! Saturday morning reports (METAR / SPECI) gusting up to 36kts from the north - all crosswind on available runways and 6000m vis in dust.

    Perhaps you could post a link to the NTSB report? I cannot see how a falling leaf manoeuvre would allow an aircraft to reverse into the ground. A falling leaf is simply a sequence of consecutive incipient spins.

    “Nose dive” sits well with the journo’s terms like “plummets”, “narrowly escaped death” and “The Cessna” (for any aircraft other than an airliner. Can’t say I’ve ever seen an aeroplane tail dive or wing dive into the ground.

    Would you consider this video a good test of your aviation SA skills? Situational Awareness Test
