    Yeah I'm dead sick of it. Now a waste of time for all involved and bad look. Nev

    NOT RAAus one's Deano. The last one I had said "Access ALL Areas". More scope than my Company one had. Nev

    It's NOT the realm of where it's supposed to operate.. This topic is like stuck record . Get A LIFE. No one out there CARES but NOW is Not the time to achieve any sympathy for the removal of safety orientated Rules.. Nev

    Lot of extra weight either way. The extra performance you'd still have without either, Might save your life. Nev

    Lapping tapered threads is a good way of helping them seal and adjusting where they stop when tightened. Tightened correctly they will lock themselves. Thats the Purpose of using a Tapered Pipe thread. Nev

    IF you know what to look for, examination of the wreckage will tell a lot. Nev

    Skip, you qualify as an OCPD person. Nev

    No point in speculating. If does or it doesn't A lot of ground power units do power the aircraft but the choice should be by switching, so that you know EXACTLY what's going on. Nev

    People working at Aerodromes for a short term Purpose are allowed by arrangement. They are also required to be specific. worksite savvy. and show proof if required. Yes you do have a boarding pass and seat number IF you present in the normal way. Is it Tarmac Loading at Avalon? Anyone swanning across the AIRSIDE would attract attention . Nev

    Bass Strait can be pretty rough. The swells come from both sides and make freak waves. Nev

    I experienced a "Bomb Scare " flying back from Port Moresby. The PAX had no idea but believe Me it's not fun. None of us want "todays world". It's been forced upon us by changed circumstances. The BEST days are over, Work with what you have while you have at least something. Input to all requests. You're a minority IN a minority. Nev

    Thanks MAX. Good engine stuff. Nev

    There must be thing's of a higher priority of concern to our movement now. Now is not the time to push your argument. You are flogging the proverbial "dead Horse". How many posts have been on this subject? Let's move on. Nev

    Good to consider. Pulling the stick back is a conditioned response. Has to be resisted. Where there's room, slightly overspeed the climb till a bit of height is achieved in a low Inertia. draggy Plane. Fly in ground effect if you've bounced into the air on a rough surface. PLAN all this before you start your take-off roll. Nev

    Forgot to mention the daughter was a flight attendant, who (fortunately for HER) looked nothing like her father She had Hair and.. stuff that girls have. Nev

    A bigger or several batteries in a cart kept charged by its own charger and plugged into your ground socket when needed. IT cannot hurt your system. with big battery capacity smoothing things out. leave the charger off if you are worried some of the Modern electronic ones have Pulsed voltages. Nev

    I'll tell you a good one and true. A pilot I knew in TAA had a daughter flying in Ansett. They swapped ID cards for a MONTH and no one noticed. Nev

    You'll get Big swells and debris later from rivers unless you get well away. I have done a bit of boating, but my missus would get sea sick in a bath. Nev

    Maybe not, but this acts against it being removed. Nev

    Mother Nature can be a Bitch. Life is more important than property. Nev

    But Oh so fussy. Some of that I think is made up to be part of the Rotax CULTURE. It's a Bl**dy Plumbers Nightmare to start with. You'd never get it past the scrutineers on a race car. Too many things near exhaust pipes unshielded and more. Costs are going through the roof for "special" bits. Carbs are cheap and nasty, unbalanced and dangerously located. Nev

    I can't see the Point of continuing to comment on this in a speculative way. I started to and pulled myself up. HE made the choice. HE was a risk taker. What happened would have happened regardless of all the training he could reasonably have been given.. Plenty of our peers think THAT would NEVER happen to ME.. HUMAN Factors? THAT's a Help but not a Guarantee. "Think Aeroplane" I've said THAT a few times to students. Nev

    Anyhow everything fatigues. New is best. Nev

    If you do what I suggest the Motor will stay cleaner internally and therefore wear less and the EXvalves are the Hardest worked Part. I don't see much point in setting some record for Longest use. It's not a Sydney taxi. It's an Aeroplane. Nev

    AND Pilots are NOT trained for it so Who's to blame? The Point IS, they once were, (in GA) THEN you have a fighting chance. Nev
