First of all, there has not been a mad panic. There are no travel bans to countries with malaria because people know to take antimalarials and they can't reinfect others on their return home. Just because other people have worse health is no reason for people in rich countries to not preserve their health. Your post was beyond stupid.

The heater in The Mighty Foxbat uses air from the radiator (for water, not the oil) and thereby avoids the problem of CO from a faulty heater. The dot CO detector went off once, possibly because people were doing lots of stalls and the usual airflow from the exhaust got messed up.

Thinking what could have happened and how to stop it happening to us is a good process.

Just listened a bit further. Its an ad.

Do VG's really give you more rudder authority, as he claims?

As far as I can work out, if the vortex generators are fitted, then the angle of attack at stall will be increased, the stall warning will go off at the same angle of attack as usual, and therefore the stall warning will go off at a higher speed above stall speed. So, if the warning usually goes off 5 kt before the stall, and the stall speed is lowered 5 kt, the stall warning will go off 10 kt before the stall. I agree with you that having the stall warning go off during a turning final is not a good idea. I the first landing, the stall warning went off *and* he did not use close to all the strip. I would have thought that the safer thing to do would have been to come in faster and use more of the strip to stop. Disclaimer: I have a massive 76 hrs.

Yeah, including that most confidence-inspiring aeronautical unit of measure, the slug.

But they do fly when it is pretty dark.

I would communicate in writing with the airline

I have the purple ATC book about using the radio. Not nearly as much help as the ap.

Snarf gave the best advice. Another option is the app LiveATC. Humans learn language by imitation. At Archerfield, I was not ready to repeat back the instructions “On bravo, cross 04 right, cross 04 left, hold at bravo 5 for 10 left.” There are only two taxi instructions that are usually given, so there is a finite amount to learn.

The high-wing brumby does not have great payload even with a Rotax, IIRC. There is no way that I would get a Lyco when I could get a Rotax. Disclaimer: low hrs pilot. Why would you prefer a Lyco?

Celebrities need to know that their presence can distract pilots and also cause get-there-itis. (Which, technically, would be inflammation of the get-there.)

I'm pretty sure that I twigged that the accents were the main issue.

I doubt it but am not an expert.

I'm waiting to get shouted down, but here goes. What the Casa brochure Be Seen Be Heard Be Safe says as an example call is this. "Parkes traffic, C172, ZTQ one-zero miles north inbound on descent through 4,200, estimating circuit at three six, Parkes." The first three bits are simple: Where you are calling, "traffic", what you are and who you are. The next bits are complicated. 1. Distance away. 2. Bearing (from their perspective). 3. What you are doing overall: "inbound" or "overflying". 4. What you are doing for altitude, if anything: climbing, descending. 5. Current altitude. 6. "Estimating" 7. What you are going to do, again: "circuit" or "overhead" 8. "At" 9. Time. Then, the place is simple. If you were really supposed to say who you were talking to, who you were, where you were, what you were doing, time and place again, you would say. Parks traffic, C172, ZTQ, 10 miles north 4500 feet, descending, inbound for circuit (or not "circuit" because if you are inbound, a full stop is assumed) estimating at 36, Parks. Which I think would be better. But improving on the rules is the last thing that I would want do do. What is going on? Is there some reason it is like this? I don't want to improve on the rules. Saying what people expect you to say, when they expect you to say it, is much more important than improving on the standard procedures in one's one idiosyncratic way.

Work 5 days a week. 17% decrease in work. 100% increase in time off.

"15" might be the runway. So, no.

Are RAAus aircraft allowed?

Yes, modifying the base rates is a good idea. I know that I won’t drive drunk. With the flying accidents, I tell myself that if other people made those mistakes, then so can I.

My understanding is that the police would like to stop using motorcycles but that they can do things that cars can’t. That’s not very specific info, I know.

I suspect motorbikes are safer than quad bikes.

The point about insurance companies is very valid. Money talks and bullshit walks, as the movie said. Apparently, in the early 1900’s insurance companies already knew that asbestos was bad. Actually, the Romans knew to give their slaves pig skin masks if they worked with asbestos, to help the slaves live longer. As far as I can remember, insurance companies take a dimmer view of aircraft than motorcycles.
