As they now have the FDR and CVR there should be rapid progress in the investigation.
-
Tracking whilst still on the ground is always sketchy for obvious reasons

Sorry that was no help... I was always able to start mine down to temperatures of about + 6C (any colder and I wouldnt want to fly my draughty aeroplane) A decent battery is required to chuck it over with thick cold oil and make sure the starter circuit in the bing is clear, there is a jet in the float bowl that is important to the starting circuit and a hole half way up the channel the jet sits in that is crucial to be clear. and of course make sure the rubber manifold is not cracked and is seated properly. You may have any number of problems that are very difficult to diagnose remotely, but 16c should be no problem for a properly set up Jab
-
Who told you that nonsense?, if Jabs couldnt start when it was<16c nobody with one in the UK could fly for 10 months of the year.

Airliners usually fit the CVR and FDR in the tail section, the tail section looks quite intact and accessible. I cant see why there shouldnt be a comparatively quick resolving of what caused this

The risk of dying doing what we love

Well that second piece is just a joke As for the claim that lawn bowls is so dangerous...if the calculation is actually true then of course it will have far more to do with the fact that it's a game played mostly by the elderly and infirmed not because of any Inherent danger it holds -
Ta, over here in the UK we have e10 as the regular mogas grade and E5 'super' at 97-98 RON, up untill last septemeber Esso 'Super was Ethanol free now there is no ethanol free mogas available so us Rotax users have been forced into E5 or the ridiculously overpriced UL91 ..or of course that orrible 100LL, but that's a last resort

Brenden stop with grudge shit everytime someone expresses a view not aligned to yours, its getting tedious
-
Maybe I should clarify for the hard of thinking, when did Fuel with a proportion of ethanol become available at the Pumps in Australia?
-
Out of interest, when did Ethanol start being introduced at the pumps in Australia?
-
My opinion is allowed here I believe
-
I think its more down to the changing fuel chemistry in the last 20 years, especially the ethanol introduction. One thing that confuses me is the reccomendations for these epoxy floats, I had a shadow wwhich had fibrelam tanks held together with epoxy (Araldite), when Ethanol started to be introduced the tank started falling apart at the internal epoxy joints...I guess this epoxy must be very different?, I'd wait a bit before rushing to this new 'solution'
-
Spot on
-
Part of the reason I avoid commercial flight these days, its a shame but its at the point now where I feel violent towards inconsiderate louts and the proportion of them is increasing generation by generation.
-
Ethanol proof floats for the bing carbs are available from a couple of BMW motorcycle specialists. In fact most Bing parts are better sourced that way, unless you enjoy being ripped off
-
So why did you need to call someone to explain what 3rd party insurance actually covered?
-
Soldered Mine using alternative dsub connectors, been fine. Couldnt justify £300 for a crimp tool to suit the supplied pins
-
This.. "As raaus members we have third party cover. Would that extend to a flight school aircraft." said whilst discussing the Hull insurance excess, You appeared to not understand what 3rd party Insurance covered, but I see someone has explained to you now
-
I've only had experience with one funke in a friend's aircraft and it was a pita to get adsb out working on it, it had some non standard stuff going on in its firmware and had to be shipped back twice this was some 5 years ago so maybe they sorted that P.S. I can echo the positive earlier comments about Trig Radios. I,ve fitted a few to my own and others aircraft and all have worked well
-
So what if it did?, would make no difference to the case in point as third party doesnt cover airframe you are flying
-
Thanks, learned a few things from that article

Some people here need to learn to pay head to the words of the Grand high prophet of the holy noodle.😁

Ground loops await
