    I don't like THAT design. . Nev

    I saw a C-180 where the bird went back to the Mainspar. Over Griffith in a Beech A-36 I only just missed a Large wedgetail at 8000 ft Seemed as though it was asleep in a thermal. They will easily go through most light aircraft's windscreens. Nev

    I don't like the idea of having an "O" ring there anyhow.. IF it's not there, It can't fail .Nev

    10 seconds is a LONG time to move the switches to ON. Another thing is It's better to have the gear DOWN when crash landing other than ditching. nev

    That's been covered. Nev

    These aircraft microprocessors are just there to run a Programme defined by the LOGIC the designers have decided to build into it which has many FAIL SAFE aspects and backups making it more suited to being in an aircraft. Mt Brother lectured at Uni On Computers before everybody had one and said at the time HE wouldn't fly in a plane CONTROLLED by a computer. Neither would I. These are very Limited application devices. Nothing much like computers in general. They are also good at reducing human error. Nev

    Apparently the CVR didn't. They reckon you'd need a camera to confirm it. We still have a fair idea.. Nev

    "Turn' is viewed from the side. It's Badly described The switch lever moves in an arc about a pivot point UP and DOWN. Nev

    IF you are on fire or freezing to death LAND The gloves some war time pilots Wore were fire resistant. Nev

    There is NOTHING in those switches that could make the Lever change position. nev

    Could happen toa fixed wing also.. Nev

    IF you want to end up with having a small fortune start with a Big one and buy Planes. Better to fly someone else's and GET PAID to do it.. . Nev

    It's useful to protect against Stinger Bites in FNQ. Nev

    Emergency actions ARE memory items. Time is the essence. Nev

    It's been clarified about the relight difficulties . Time needed and airspeed too low. The second motor wasn't making it. Core failed to get to sustainable RPM.. Nev

    That should not be a problem. PT6 with auto feather. A disaster of an outcome. nev

    Good upon them. Might also be a good Powered Glider concept. Nev

    You'd need to do it with BOTH hands. Just WHY would you bother? At low airspeed the engine Core will not spool up reliably unless engine starter assisted. Needs APU to be running. Nev

    I have just read the entire BASI report. No one comes out looking good.. Too much neglect of proper Process. The Plane is a piece of crap. Disfunctional organisation. Corners cut. Improper surveilance .Nev

    I would suggest it is intentionally not easy to move 2 lock type switches at the same time. Richard De Crespigny's interview on the ABC this morning was good. Nev

    I just spent TIME on PPRuNe. I'm exhausted. Nev

    Maybe it's just Breathing heavily? Nev

    Plenty of People and Pilot and Regulatory Organisations watching this KG. The 787 is in widespread use and has a good record in service. Nev

    Airport are experts at CHARGING. Nev

    The Gazelle still had it with a speed limit of 85 kts especially IF any "G" involved. Any more weight in the Nose would require some in the rear and that's not a good idea. They are a small dia steel tube fuselage that sometimes gets corroded. Doesn't have a fail safe pitch actuation either. This is NOT a design I would "Hotrod". Nev
