    CASA do not recognise the ASIC card as proof of identity.

    Only pilots, not passengers.

    I agree with Skippy. Once cracked, the valve lets air in along the thread so you need to do the open/shut business. Or so I have found.

    A cabin pressure problem followed or caused by an erratic engine? Autopilot recovered the first stall but not the second?

    I love the term colour blondness, it would explain a lot.

    Best story ever was from the 1920s. Aussie captain on a London to Paris flight came out of the cockpit unrolling some string. On the way to the dunny at the back he handed the end to a passenger and said if the nose goes down, pull the string. They didn’t know he had a co pilot.

    ATSB can choose what they investigate. They don't have to investigate all VH reg accidents.

    The membership fee gets you in. Then there is a judgement about whether or not you are a contributor or a taker. I admit I am a taker, member since 1993 and I have never volunteered for anything. Went to one AGM in all that time. I contribute to other causes, but can't do everything.

    Group 1 have no cause to complain IF they are paid. If they are volunteers, then they have a right to moan about the freeloaders who don't contribute. Same as any club or school or sports committee!

    By coincidence I just made six out of soft leather today. Bumper bracket to body on a Triumph car.

    If it was a kidnapping proof of life pic I would expect a news paper front page. You could have written that any time!

    It is the modern version of the v-tailed doctor killer, for the same reasons. More aeroplane than the wealthy buyers can manage.

    I meant Kyle's post, rebuilding a Sav and selling the Girlfriend.

    2016? I can't believe it was seven years ago. I remember this post like yesterday.

    It would not be NEWS.

    I've been on the pxss in Broken Hill many times.

    If you cannot get a Class 2 medical there is no other option. You are on a list of people who remain under scrutiny and have to satisfy Class 2. If you jump early, before questions arise, you can choose the simpler medical regime.

    I watched him in many videos. Now killed by the impossible turn.

    I reckon this is better. My first proper calculator AFTER the slip stick. Used with 7 figure logs and trig tables for survey calculations.

    I had a HP9825 on my desk at work in 1977. It had a thermal printer, a pen plotter and data was saved on an audio cassette recorder. I had to write the programs in HP modified BASIC.

    Double check floats.

    At 25 LPH it would be 36,000 litres. They flew over a truck which pumped up the fuel. Probably dropped the poo bag on a string!

    I was in Toronto in 1995 and the Tower was draped in a giant banner that said Windows 95. We forget what a big deal it was.

    We were encouraged to crowd fund that project through a post on this site. I tried to do so but the technology beat me. Now am glad I didn’t contribute to the disaster.
