    IS ALL of THAT good? I don't see your point. Surely WE need stability and the assurance that goes with it? When people stuff around participants lose Money and get Older, waiting. Nev

    By making a few assumptions. The bloke was a proven overconfident person with exceptional demonstrated abilities. Most likely airframe icing brought the Plane down. . When you have ice the control, performance and stall speed change massively and the window can be obscured. I've had extreme icing in that area when NIL Icing was on the forecast. Extremely LUCKY to survive it in a DC 4. Had icing also West of Albury in a Mooney. Had to descend fast. to warmer air.. Nev

    Why don't YOU tell US how you would fix it? Litigants have a right to get Justice also. . I contend you can't contract out of a liability you have under Federal Govt Legislation. The CASA is the Authority on things in the AIR. I've been through the later rules. It Implies your liability is ONE dollar as a member. I saw no mention of shareholder. Nev

    Turbo runs this line constantly but clearly there is a lingering problem that at some time must be addressed.. Nev

    It's about decision making Methusala, and the fact He was not pressured as one might be in other circumstances. As I also mentioned, Human Factors. Nev

    IF CASA let RAAus go down the drain who will replace them and don't CASA have an ongoing responsibility to monitor their performance? I've always believed the Potential Liability is too large to be carried by such an organisation. The CASA has the ULTIMATE responsibility here and I don't believe they can "conveniently" contract out of it. IF the members are have a liability beyond the $1 Then THEY should have been made aware of it long ago. Nev

    If it isn't full, why restrict it? Nev

    Always so critical. It's free speech here isn't it AND where am I wrong? I said the IDEA is fine. Just do it properly and I'm suggesting it's NOT easy. Nev

    Only speaking from my own experience but I've attended a lot of engine maintenance courses and gotten little out of them and often see people advocating erroneous procedures. The IDEA is fine. Just do the actual facts. There are less and less people with these skills than there ever was.. Nev

    Fly it. Don't trailer it.. Nev

    I've flown plenty of Jabirus and if you only fly in good weather, you are not trained. I'm happy to fly on a basic panel where it's appropriate. and looking what's going on Outside. to fly a squared circuit. (Allow for drift). Nev

    The above post is in response to Brendon. Nev

    You are not looking at the bigger picture. HE did what no instructor could have reasonably anticipated. I've taken off in conditions where the conditions are marginal. It's done all the time in RPT.. HE got into trouble later. IF it had been a better day we would not be talking about it.. Nev

    SHE only varies the group She Hates at the Moment. That gives her Party enough votes to fund it. SHE went to the USA to get the NRA to throw some funding her way. Pretty GRIM. Nev

    In relation to the WEATHER. EVEN some HIGH hours Pilots are guilty of that. It's a HUMAN FACTORS issue. Nev

    Having Clive Palmer cancels that out.. PLUS Pauleen (please explain). Nev

    Everyone LIKES to Hate Victoria. That was just a basic Geography lesson, No offence intended towards Mexicans.. Nev

    Ther's some plastic bits where the aileron actuators come out of each side and the elevator bell crank is a Must work item. Nev

    How surprising? Nev
  23. facthunter
    This was entirely weather related. All that other stuff is peripheral speculation.. Nev

    Yes I heard that mentioned at the time. . IF you are doing a charter you tend to GO till you can't. You will feel you have to give it a try for the sake of the customer. WHERE to draw the Line is what experience helps you with.. Nev

    You get away with it for a while and become complacent. IF you are above freezing level you'll rapidly get ice in cloud when you enter it. Nev
