  1. You lucky SOB sounds like a great life style do you have camo pjs
  2. The thing is the drag created by a dead engine can be higher especially a seized engine with the prop not turning.
  3. Very nice a/c Steve
  4. I totally agree and armed with sound knowledge and training .Maybe a ballistic chute as well in case the turn back after EFATO goes wrong.
  5. I guess he had his 178 seconds thankfully he had a plan B not always the case!
  6. You can stall at any airspeed if you exceed the critical angle of attack . I agree with some of what your saying but in my opinion that footage is not suitable for low time pilots/students.
  7. As you know stall airspeed Rises with angle of bank struggling with getting back to the runway by steepening the turn and stretching the glide isn't an option either how many engine failures happen at a convenient height on take off
  8. My own rule max turn 45 degree with EFOTO depending on height and aircraft type ,terrain and wind if he tried that with something like a lancair in a 15k headwind and not enough height chances are he would stall it on the downwind turn with predictable results not a good thing to teach a student.
  9. Nev even though VFR conditions were declared arent all comercial passenger flights IFR ?
  10. I dont know Mark but I like your daughters description of your trike:thumb up:
  11. Welcome and Hi there is a Texanfan a windmill by any chance lol.

  13. Avocet you have solved the age old problem of ground transport for cross countries and built a great looking aircraft well done
  14. :plane:Welcome Sam:welcome:
  15. They really can't blame casa if the doctors don't do the right thing I think the doctors need to be reeducated.
  16. Welcome Stefan how's the flying in SA . Your aircraft look a lot like the Kitfox Skyfox aircraft we have here.what engines do u use most over there ?

    Problems

    Dayfydd I don't think this guy was an idiot I think many things conspired to cause this tragedy the weather and high stall speed of the aircraft being the main culprits the one thing he should have done was not had his son in with him the aircraft was not certified to carry him so making more laws wont change the fact that people don't do the right thing.
