Wow cheers from Bull mates,,,,,,is you know just asking any coin attached to this AO thingy?

We are talking of 2 different procedures. Bruces Protocol is the stress ECG type used in Aviation Medicals TOO often and not good with older people. 7 stents is way above the normal number. Angiograms inject a dye that show arterial restrictions and has some risks associated with it. Stents are often inserted at the same time as it's convenient to do it then. You have to cut an artery to get in there. Nev

A Stress Echo Ultrasound is very reliable, my wife has 7 stents, I have been in My wife’s Cardiologists Operating theatre watch this sort of procedure, being an Angiogram as a result of an adverse Stress Echo Ultrasound, Electrophysiology studies or the heart are done by a Cardiologist specialised in this field. He is the heart’s ‘electrician’ 👍

I was Particularly referring to the Inadequacy of the Often recommended Stress ECG in predicting Cardiac events. Many of these events DO give warnings. Nev

You don’t need a Heart Attack, a Sudden Cardiac Arrest gives no warning, regardless of age. A defibrillator is usually the only solution to bring someone back, an average of 20,00 people per year die in Australia from it, with no warning, it’s not predictable in any way. There are elements of risk in being alive……

.... asking for their money back. That is never good when you are a One-Man-Show and when the takings have already been spent on .....

The Stress ECG 3 months before the Incapacitation was no Predictor of the Heart attack and never is IMHO.. There's plenty of evidence of Pilots dying of a heart attack not long after doing the Test. Nev

If you've had an inspection and FOUND NOTHING Its's NOT a very satisfactory position to be in, with the ONE control you cannot do without. HE Knew it wasn't right the day before.. I'm suggesting this to be the case. as I cant see him ignoring IF a fix had been done. (Not JUST an inspection.).Plenty of failures are intermittent.. Plenty only show up when it's cold after flight at High altitude.. (as an example). When you have High time on a Plane you get to Know a lot about them. I had the elevators Jamb and landed on stab trim. I've also had stab trim jamb but at a different time and caused by Incorrect Grease on the stab trim Jack screw FREEZING.. Something we knew More about. Nev

The ATSB has released its final report on this crash, and have concluded that the crash was caused by pilot incapacitation, more than likely related to a severe gastro intestinal infection, which infection had stopped the pilot from flying the previous day. While the pilot claimed he felt better on the day of the crash, the ATSB has concluded he was still quite unwell - and coupled with other factors such as a possible lack of hydration, and prescribed medication being taken, it was highly likely all the events combined to cause the pilot to faint at the controls.

A good spot may be in 'Resources' title Rotax 912 parts suppliers by Danny. Just a thought.

I can recall being on a Virgin flight from Perth to Brisbane and we boarded, were pushed back, got out to the taxiiway, and the aircraft halted. The Captain came on the PA and announced he was going to have to hold off on the takeoff for a short time, while he organised some adjustments in the cockpit. A LAME came on board promptly, spent about 5 mins in the cockpit, and then left. The Captain then announced the adjustments had been carried out, and we were going to take off shortly, and thanked us for our patience. We departed promptly and had a good flight. I couldn't even begin to guess at what control in the cockpit wasn't performing to the Captains expectations, but I was pleased he was careful enough to get the adjustment carried out to his satisfaction.

.....Terse Code, with the leading capital "T" used as a nod to Turbo's input, and the word itself well known as the definition for sparseness in the use of words. What wasn't well known of course, is that Turbo is also a man of few words, so when he speaks, one has to ensure one doesn't miss a word anywhere. This character trait long ago deemed him entirely unsatisfactory for the primary qualification required to become a politician, so Turbo was denied a life full of excessive pay levels, free bar tabs, free business-class travel, and lots of kickbacks, along with general public opprobium. However, Turbo made up for it, by going into the business and corporate world, where excessive pay levels, free bar tabs, free business-class travel, kickbacks, and general public opprobium still ruled, so it was all good. Turbo appeared as the primary speaker at a major conference one day, and after he cleared his throat, he launched into the start of the talk with a joke, as all good public speakers do. However, due to Turbos trait of using as few words as possible, he told a one-line joke, and condensed it into 3 words - which left the audience scratching their heads, and..........

If it's a Boeing, I ain't going.

Just having a "gut feeling" about the safe condition of an aircraft doesn't seem like a satisfactory reason to refuse to fly it. I would've expected a professional, practical reason for the refusal.

.... that the AUF Morse Code Sub-Committee (the MCSC) had put a motion on this to the Board, a very slick & professional proposal had been received from Turbine Blechley Park Code Breakers and Makers Inc, which was basically to simplify the Morse Code by removing all of the dashes as a money and time saving initiative ("The dashes are a pain in the bum, and very expensive, plus are harder to carry around, as they are many times bigger than the dots" said Turbo in a promotional video), and it was proposed to rename it the .......

It's pretty $#!t Form. Not very professional or ethical. That's why He's an Ex friend.. Would he have made a PA informing the PAX and Flight attendants that He was flying a plane another pilot had just refused. Would the Safety Authority Approve that if it was brought to their attention? Nev

Dunno. You can't edit anything here after 15 minutes, so that could be tricky

Got it.

An EX-friend of mine volunteered to fly a Plane (Commercial Airliner) that another Pilot had just refused. . Nev

......using multiple microphone clicks, instead of Mandarin or even the English language. The Panamanians were quick to pick up on the click language, and every flyer commented on how good it was for reducing clogging of the airwaves with unnecessary and long-winded radio transmissions. Many flyers remarked on how good it was, to go back to simple Morse Code for communication. One could simply convert ones callsign to a number of microphone clicks in Morse Code, and by the time.........

I should have said Light aircraft and also U/L's have a limited required (slow) stall speed which helps reduce risk. Nev
