    I like to have a fighting chance. Not rely on some wizz kids who think (or say) they have covered every possibility. Nev

    "Nikasil" is fused to the surface rather than plated in the normal sense It's very durable and doesn't corrode either. Unless something Unusual "happpens" the bores last like, forever. You can still get rust pits on valve springs which will cause failure if not noticed. Also on older motor the seals go hard. Nev

    Thrust reversers are Clamshells and deflect the engines normal thrust. Nev

    SAY again is pretty standard. Confirm is pretty clear. REPEAT after (word) also. Vertical separation is the most RELIABLE till visual passing is assured and confirmed. Your Passenger was aware of the dangers with justification.. You can't expect an unending supply of luck. Nev

    If they bend easily they are too soft. No reason not the heat treat them again and straighten them at the same time.. Nev

    Fuel management is a 100% pass required subject. Nev

    I think the elev of each Parking bay was available. . Nev

    XYZ "Say again" or "Confirm so and so" is OK. Nev

    I keep thinking why approach this matter LIMITING it to one call?. It's the WRONG way to view it. YOU adjust to the particular circumstances. THAT's AIRMANSHIP. . You may not even be transmitting. A stuck PTT switch will mute all other transmissions in the vicinity. Nev

    At the transition level is when you change and update on the ATIS. . I've seen it about 4 times and picked it up once from the jumpseat. . Not good eh!. Nev

    One hPa is 32 feet.. One Millibar in the old language. ALL this presupposes the ICAO standard atmosphere applies but if done correctly the separation with other aircraft vertically is preserved. . Can't be relied upon to clear High terrain. Q If you got into a pressurised plane and both Altimeter subscales show 1013.2 and reading nothing like the actual Aerodrome height what is the likely cause? Nev

    The forecast will give you the area QNHs you require and the times that apply.. If you are on the ground at a place where the ATIS gives the QNH that information lets you determine whether YOUR altimeter is within tolerance. I think it applies at the ARP. (Aerodrome reference point). Make allowance for where you are Parked. Nev

    See if you can get time with a restorer or manufacturer. Don't expect much money. Being around the stuff will be your reward. Nev

    An ACR can be of very limited value. . Nev.

    Some might see this as the "Condition" report.. People who are knowledgeable with the type might be the Best.. Nev

    Poor radio procedures by many limit the part they can/should play.. Nev

    Single Pilot IFR isa very high workload. Nev

    I think you will Muck up a good aeroplane. You will also add a lot of weight. Resale Value? Its aerobatic as is. . . Nev

    IVSI's are better. they have a rattler in them to prevent hysteresis.. Nev

    The ends have to be located securely. There's no redundancy. Nev

    Pity to alter probably the best wooden spar in the game. Nev

    Not as sexy. It's all about the show. Nev

    It's extremely Controllable, but don't let it spiral. Nev

    If you'd made any effort to understand the points I've been making, it wouldn't be ASTOUNDING at all... Emphasising just the elusive pin smacks of rejoicing in a GOTCHA moment . We are all interested in discussion and finding answers, I hope.. Nev.

    Talk slow and Put your brain in gear first.. . Plenty of times my request for the other aircraft's position is a Loud silence. ( Distance and bearing). Could everyone here do it? Nev
