  1. CASA doesn't insure aircraft or pay for it unless they Operate it. . Nev
  2. These days a 2 litre motor could be Over 200 HP. Fowler flaps increase the wing area when they are extended. That's why they are the Best. Nev
  3. Yeah Everybody knows that stuff. sorry. Nev
  4. .18 is almost .2 which is !/5th of a Km.=s 1000 metres so just under 200 metres 180 is 90% of 200. . Any distance covered / time elapsed is a speed. Speed change/elapsed time is acceleration rate.. Nev
  5. I call that BS. . My title is not factprovider. Nev
  6. There's no one else so you're up that Creek without a paddle. Nev
  7. The plastic one we carried in our pockets buckled with the heat, we were that fast. Nev
  8. Great weight lifting ability for structure and power.. Nev
  9. Much more any time I've checked the figures. They are not as safe as fixed wing partly due to the Nature of their operations but they are maintenance intense. Not one of the US choppers sent to rescue the Hostages in IRAN got there.. Nev
  10. You've been told that before. You're flogging a Dead horse. I don't like it either/ It doesn't even count points towards a Passport being issued. RAAus represents the CASA Only something LIKE AOPA can do anything. . Nev
  11. Safest form of NUCLEAR.. and by far the cheapest. source of Electricity. Nev
  12. You can bet your bottom Dollar you'll lose the Blues in CHICAGO. Nev
  13. Yeah, USA HAD some good things. Nev
  14. They were supposed to keep it simpler than GA. MARAP seems like a Crock of it. Nev
  15. Short trips like that will Kill it pretty quick. rego and insurance is high for that amount of usage. Good luck. Nev
  16. Most people wouldn't get the significance of the tailplane damage. Pretty (hairy) show all-round . Nev
  17. I use GPS based indications. Tire diameter affects indic. speed also. Nev
  18. Why did you BUY it? Nev
  19. Bugger. Oh what a feeling. Nev
  20. Better late than NEVER. Nev
  21. You can't use someone Just because they had nothing on that day Nev
  22. yeah there's some wild driving there between Mt Alexander Rd turnoff and the turnoff to the Aerodrome with people in the wrong lane as well. Nev
  23. You MUST be sure where ALL aircraft in a close proximity are at all times. IF you can't see it, be worried till you do. . GOOD radio and procedures is the best AID to such situations. What happened to radio checks? Frequent operations at low level in a salt environment more so, Corrosion. I've flown with 5 No radio U/Ls in the SAME circuit and that's about saturation for me and quite tiring. Overlapping intersecting Circuits Are Russian Roulette requiring extreme caution. Nev
  24. That's the extreme view. Hopefully not the majority view. It's the Job of the CASA to sort this out. . They won't wish to but that's the reality. They do audits when it suites them.. Nev
  25. Seems more like MASS debating to me. Nev
