    The problem is they don't want to do that because it involves learning some formal radio procedures, and studying a few documents, and flying within a formal framework. An Instructor should easily be able to train them in a few hours. When it's required for your training, you're competent by the time you go solo, but I 've never seen an Instructor come on here and say "This is easy, I should be able to get you through that in x hours."

    ".........we can put that behind us now. The Tata Jaguar is giving the Bentley some real curry these days, and those problems are thing of the past, not that there were any problems with the British product.." OEHOR had been carefully polishing a part with "Brasso" as he spoke and was now wrapping it in paper for transfer to his new museum. "Why would you be publishing an FX Holden hub cap?" asked Cappy, "you can drive along any country road and collect millions of them." A tear came to Oehor's eye and he replied "...........

    What's descibed here is, as says a Paraglider. The accident at Elphinstone involved a Powered Parachute; The Channel 9 reporter correctly describes is as a Powered Parachute. The branding identifies it as an Aerochute make, HummerChute model. https://www.9news.com.au/national/elphinstone-emergency-services-respond-to-paraglider-crash-in-victoria/f27a886c-1fdc-4253-8789-488a72bbf5d8 This Wikipedia link, under "Confusion with powered Paragliding says: "There is often confusion about the difference between powered parachutes (PPC) and powered paragliders (PPG) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_parachute So the heading, which seems to have followed the newsmedia is incorrect and needs to be corrected.

    That wasn't a Powered Parachute.

Against this bleak background, while OT was away moving the recovered Nazi treasures to his secret lair out in the WA sandhills, and bull was in charge of a whaling ship, standing on the bow like Moby Dick, Cappy and Turbo had been invited to the 2024 Khyber Pass Reuinion. Both had bought new orange Turbans for the occasion and Cappy was making a claim that his arrived unassembled. "All I got was a roll of satin ribbon" he complained. The response from Delhu was immediate; "I am colling you fom the deli" Cappy heard, but ....................

    An earlier Channel 9 report said there was a crosswind and they were pushed across into a fence. They are ideal in calm conditions, but I'm aware of a few similar incidents where the machine gets pushed sideways. Problem is, if you turn into the wind their slow forward speed makes it a mathematical calculation to get high enough to clear obstacles. They are best in an open paddock with wind. I was looking at using one in bush conditions, landing on roads, but it was clear from watching a few days events that you could forget about roads.

    ......a News story on the little-read "BoringHousewives.com" where females who would rather be males pick on anything to do with men. One of them, Cheryl Smotherer couldn't help herself when she read the story on how, in the above attack by the FA/18 on Osama Bin Laden's compound, OSB escaped in the dust and was found gambling at Lake Tahoe." Impressive enough to have a Youtube Video made about it, most people would have accepted that George Bush let OSB off for a 50 buck bribe and the MSM media just bought it. The story was partly true (and we ask readers not to repeat this); OSB was found gambling, but at the Tiger shooting village of Dahir in India, by none other than Cappy on a shooting trip. Cappy phoned Turbo, Turbo hopped across in he Challenger and they grabbed on of the Khyber Drifters, armed it, and wiped him out. The photo below shows how much more effective the KhyberDrifters are than the now-dated FA/18, and ...............................................................

The AUF had been a smart bunch, in many ways being ahead of themselves (and some people thought, up themselves), so they had introduced the Emission Rules for Airman Regulation DOT. This regulation had been widely debated for nearl a decade by it seems every resident of the United States except the Mexicans who wre making a fortune out of selling the morning coffee. In essence it required a Pilot In Command to fit to his aircraft or his person, a catch bag to collect the green plumbs after they had been emitted. This saved thousands of lives around the world from hapless housewives out for the morning shipping to ....................

    A flight instructor with thousands of hours of experience can lose control. Two of my CFIs and an instructor have died all through mistakes The focus is on what the BRS did.
  25. turboplanner
    Doesn't matter; if the pilot had more experience he may not have lost control, so he wouldn't have pulled the chute. BRS has become most popular in upmarket aircraft used by professionals who don't have time to learn correctly or stay current; they want a 1 lever solution if they screw up. In this case the moment arrived and the equipment didn't cover the task.
