  1. You can use both for all calculations. If using E6B for high speeds in the range 220kt - 700kt, you'll need to buy additional high speed slide. https://www.flightstore.com.au/asa-high-speed-e6b-slide
  2. Which exam? E6B for PPL/CPL exams CR3 for ATPL exams Google "casa <your exam> permitted material", and bring everything permitted. eg. https://www.casa.gov.au/licences-and-certificates/pilots/pilot-and-flight-crew-exams/pilot-exams/private-pilot-licence-aeroplane-exams#Preparingforyourexam
  3. According to info from other forum, this is the switch https://octopart.com/4tl837-3d-honeywell-25749542 There are about 8 wires going out of switch and I believe there would be confirmation from multiple sources that the switch was actually physically moved, rather than controlled by some computer. Also one pilot asked another why cutoff the switch, etc... The question remains: why ? I hope that will be revealed in the Final report.
  4. Preliminary report: https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/news-items/2024/preliminary-report-bacchus-marsh-light-aircraft-accident
  5. Maybe try some hunting products such as snake gaiters?
  6. It is Nav lights. Same is with Seminole.
  7. Congrats on your new aeroplane. SkyEcho2 (white box in top right corner) + Ipad mini cellular + AvPlan works for me.
  8. In my opinion it would be the powerlines which usually follow the roads.
  9. I am frequent visitor to Licola area and always hoping to see a training aircraft. VTC chart still has an information about random low level mil flying.
  10. Whilst gliding is great to teach a pilot balanced flying using a yaw string, which is an equivalent to a balance ball in powered aircraft, I wouldn't recommend gliding Spin recovery training to be used for powered aircrafts. Simply the recovery procedure is not the same. Due to long and high aspect ratio wings, the rudder and ailerons can be effective and used for recovery (personal experience). The FAA Glider Flying Handbook (also used by GFA) recommend slightly different Spin recovery procedure compared to powered aircraft (page 8-17): https://www.doc.glidingaustralia.org/index.php?option=com_docman&view=download&alias=2817-the-glider-flying-handbook&category_slug=gpc-resources&Itemid=101 To summarise, if you are flying powered aircraft, get the Spin training in powered aircraft.
  11. I wonder how much of "seniority gradient" was involved in this accident..
  12. He does almost the same in his 2nd video. Skiding turn Base to Final and reduces power all way back. The crash was at the aerodrome. Bad habits.
  13. Thanks for the video link. If my calculations are correct, they landed about half runway, and had ~1300m from touch down to wall. With spoilers and thrust reversers on, although not sure how efficient.
  14. Can't find the landing video, but found the photo of the aircraft tail close to approach lights, assuming on the other side of the runway. Knowing that jet runways are over 2km long, I wonder what was the approach speed, how far from the threshold they landed, what sort of chemicals(foam) they used(if any) that enabled aircraft to skid that far. Looks like there was no friction between aircraft and surfaces (bitumen, soil).. Curious to read report.
