  1. BAD example really. The Police have jurisdiction over all criminal acts. Not RAAus. Police have control over all RAAus incidents/accidents unless ATSB intervene.. RAAus are invited to assist. Have no right to demand access to anything. Nev
  2. Sorry, but that reply is meaningless. . The oil return is by the pushrod tubes and they should easily handle it. Nev
  3. You tell ME why there's so much oil there then. Nev
  4. Why is that? Is there any harm in checking the SD's? It's NOT ok to have oil filled rockers. Nev
  5. Why is it RAAus problem when he's not a pilot and the plane isn't registered.? Nev
  6. Oil flooded rockerbox will cause your problem. Engine idling will make it worse. (draw the oil down the inlet valve guide). The oil is not draining back. I vaguely recall the need for a bleed hole at the top of the box. Check all SD's. Don't run your engine at high power uncowled. It will overheat. Report back Nev
  7. Not all males are like that. It's called "SELF DISCIPLINE" and IF you don't have it watch out. Sorry, you'd have to have self discipline to watch out, but you get the drift. Nev
  8. Yeah YOU keep SAYING that, but it doesn't provide the answer to the real issue . Exposure to an almost UNLIMITED LIABILITY more so than most other sports you would compare it to. Nev.
  9. His Partner , More than anyone else KNEW what HE was like. HIS flawed JUDGEMENT caused the event. No Amount of training could have ruled that out. THAT was the REAL CAUSE, was it not? Nev
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. Turbo runs this line constantly but clearly there is a lingering problem that at some time must be addressed.. Nev
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. It's MY Avatar Nev
  17. If it isn't full, why restrict it? Nev
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. The above post is in response to Brendon. Nev
  22. 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
