  2. Nice weather for this morning's flight. Did my first off airport landing on a farm strip. Great fun and many thanks to the owner for the invite. IMG_6200.3gp
  3. great photos. canola crops look fantastic.
  4. its just a basic explanation of the system i found, nothing more. the system must work ok given the excellent service record of the 787.
  5. got it from this page
  6. Unlike many older aircraft models that derive cabin air from engine compressors, the 787 utilizes electric compressors. This not only reduces the aircraft’s overall fuel consumption but also minimizes potential contamination from engine oils. At the heart of the 787’s air conditioning system are two packs that are situated beneath the aircraft’s fuselage. The air first enters the packs where it’s cooled down, and then it is pushed through a series of ducts and distribution points to reach different sections of the aircraft. Temperature and air quality onboard are paramount for passenger comfort and the 787 allows the passengers to experience a lower cabin altitude compared to other aircraft. This results in higher atmospheric pressure, which can lead to increased oxygen absorption, reducing fatigue and some of the other common discomforts of flying. The aircraft also boasts of an advanced filtration system. As the air gets circulated, it passes through HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters, which effectively capture a vast majority of airborne particles, including bacteria and viruses. This ensures that the air passengers and crew breathe is of the highest quality. i read about this a while back
  7. thats a lot of money. i am complaining about $5.00
  8. might have to move to traralgon. club members fly free
  9. at sale there are some cameras at the runup bay for r9 and i guess they have them at 27 end as well. so even if you don't call out your reg they can get you with the cameras. i am thinking stick to the grass strips and don't give out rego might be a way around it. but there are only a few of us that fly private planes here because the weekday airspace restrictions keep most people away. the council is upsetting everyone for a few dollars a week. why not just charge commercial aircraft and leave us alone to practice without the financial penalty. the raaf owns the airport anyway. shire grubs just can't help themselves.
  10. the wellington shire didn't listen to anyone and went ahead with imposing landing fees. got my first avdata bill this week.
  11. i have been following don too. i think he is scared of finishing it.
  12. Registration Number 23-2180 Make BRM Aero Model Bristell S-LSA Serial Number 737/2024 Registration Status Full Registration Registration Expiry 21 Oct 2025 still there.
  13. you chill out. i am going back to reading posts only. no drama then. 🙂
  14. i am getting tired of his bullshit. you agree with him . i can't post anything without it turning into a shit fight. i asked a simple question and it turns into this. from now on i will research what i want to know without posting it on here. i like to put it on here because it promotes discussion and keeps the forum going.
  15. what are you on about now.
  16. i agree with this post . i look after engines and rarely have a problem. and the day i stop learning is not here yet .
  17. so you are saying you have never had a negative thing to say about rotax engines.
  18. nev putting down something you have not even seen is hardly dealing with facts.
  19. true. but i wish i kept mine to myself.
  20. this is getting annoying. i started this thread about my mag drop and end up defending myself as usual. nev you say you have no axe to grind yet you do nothing but criticise rotax engines. if i listened to you i would not get in an aircraft powered by rotax, just too dangerous.
  21. the woman they interviewed was an ex pilot herself and i thought she made some good points. and the head of the aemerican pilots association had a similar view. i know these programs sensationalise stories for views but you focus on the genuine parts of the story. if it was on the woke left abc i bet there would be no argument.
  22. because you shitcan things without even looking at them.
  23. engines run nicer with iridium plugs and there is less load on the ignition itself. not to mention the extra life over stock plugs.
