    Yes it was several years back

    During the later stages of my training, my instructor deliberately set me up for a dual nav. that he knew was not going to get there. The whole point of this was to see how far I would go before turning back or diverting, to teach the smart decision making process. This was very good training.

    For what it's worth, I have done the Rotax course at Floods at Lilydale run by Wal. He is probably the most skilled Rotax bloke you will find and a great teacher. Well worth the time / money. The course not only covered maintenance but also overhaul. A lot to do in a couple of days but excellent training. I did the course a few years back so it may not be the same syllabus.

    Ha Ha Ha good one Nev I can just imagine an ejection seat in a Bobcat.
  17. CT9000
    Hard hat would have fallen off before head hit hard edge anyway so no help. Buy a Bobcat instead.

    Rotax deem heat is not required on their turbocharged engines.
  19. CT9000
    Of course you can add a turbo (914) no need for carb heat because the compression of the intake air ( boost) increases the temp.
  20. CT9000
    surely a simple compressor stall is no big deal

    Thanks for the addition Nev, I think we are on the same page. I would like to add that speed is not the primary problem in a stall it is the wing load. The normal quoted stall speed is at 1G and is a bit meaning less. eg. if you have a quoted stall speed of say 45Kts. and push foward till the seat load gets light the stall speed may be less than half that, if you are in a steep level turn the stall speed may well be 1.5 times that cos you are pulling back to maintain level. It all comes down to load.

    The stall stick position can vary it is not a fixed thing but is real. Of course the CG will move it. Discussion of SSP is a good thing to help understand what is actually happening during the stall. As far as the response goes, by all means step on the rudder to stop the yaw. If a gust caused the wing to stall it would be only momentary and would have recovered from the stall condition before the pilot had time to react. I agree that the teaching methods may not be all that good. It is far smarter to teach that unloading the wing is what fixes the stall which is exactly what reducing back stick does.

    Re reading this story over a cuppa. I do not believe that the aircraft did actually stall. To stall you need to reach the "stall stick position" otherwise you cannot get to the critical angle of attack and therefore no stall. Yes it dropped a wing but that is not necessarily a stall just a response to a gust. Stalls are not to be feared just need to be managed.
