  1. Stress ECG,s are risky, More so when you get older. Her assessment is re you.. Get a second opinion on the risks of the Bruces protocol stress ECG.. Being around is important as well as keeping a licence. It gives NO assurance you won't have a Heart attack and can even promote one about 10 days later. Nev
  2. That may be so but surely that would make getting in there extremely difficult also in the first place.. It also makes the retract process much more complex and slower and draggier. Nev
  3. The winds and choppiness on the surface may have made a lower speed lift off desirable/ necessary and there is also a possibility of a float seam opening and taking water. The plane certainly wasn't at max weight. There's no VMC (a) consideration only stall speed with a Caravan When you're SLOW, ground effect is your friend. IT also sank very quickly.. Nev .
  4. I bow to Pylons knowledge of this matter. Nev
  5. They usually fall out frozen solid when the gear is extended. . IF they remained there. Don't Pilots do walk arounds these days? You'd die of asphyxia by cruise level also. Nev

    They are a very nicely constructed plane. Nev
  7. Where is there an AGE limit on being fit and healthy, stated.? Nev
  8. Well there is NO WAY it can be. Legitimately. Nev
  9. This topic seems to have become TWO identical titles? Nev
  10. They will NEVER be able to reliably predict their legal costs. CASA should Indemnify them. RAAus should never have been exposed as they are. It's not a satisfactory or reasonable arrangement. Nev
  11. Only turbo props have BETA and not all of them, Red (herring)? Shall we stop the Insults before it starts.? Nev
  12. Are you a student of Carl Marx or are you referring to the Latin "Maker of Children" Interpretation.? Nev
  13. I described it as MORIBUND. Turbs I've done my bit for Aviation ALMOST. I must prioritise at this stage. It's up to younger folks to step up to the Plate. I JUST want to fly IS never enough. Nev
  14. There's only Liability in it for the CASA. IF someone was put in charge of it they would see it as a punishment, NOT a Promotion.. Don't shoot me I'm only the messenger. RAAus don't want IT either, I'd Wager. Same Philosophy. AS for the general Public? Couldn't care LESS I would reckon. There ARE JOBS in all of this. Interesting ones. Nev
  15. Are you being sent there as a punishment for something? Nev
  16. That's why I started a New Topic on it. Turbs. Col we "need" an AOPA in the BIG scheme of things. . AOPA was often distracted by some of the CEOS with an agenda other that what the MEMBERS wanted. Nev
  17. IF it's Moribund It's not worth it. A .Pathy..
  18. That would not be cheap or easy to build. The light Max weight of this category would be a show stopper for some. Nev
  19. Perhaps everything's going so well, It's not needed by Aircraft OWNERs & PILOTs? Nev
  20. Turbo with Beta will descend faster with no engine cooling shocks. Nev
  21. My first reply was abut Cunk. It was posted at the time you were posting yours so I hadn't seen it. Nev
  22. Regarding the AOPA .It's the Only vehicle truly independent vehicle for a strong voice in Aviation. I was in it for Years. All pilots should be. Nev
  23. Master of the Art of asking the most inane questions possible and keeping a straight face. She's Like Pecks Paste. A little bit of her goes a long way Nev
  24. I agree with Turbo. Many pilots like to pile it one someone who's had a misfortune with their Kite. Of course it won't even happen to any of them?? Nev
  25. Esperance is nicer than Wagga .My sympathies. Nev
