Here ya go!

Hard to say exactly, but this might cover some part of pre-inspection:

19. Auction of Used Plant and Equipment

(c)    In so far as it is readily available, information prepared by the designer or manufacturer of the Plant and any records kept by previous owners of the Plant that were required to be kept under the OH&S Legislation ("the information and/or records") is made available for inspection to prospective purchasers and will be provided to the Purchaser.

Although this relates to the application of OH&S law, we know that maintenance records are kept for aircraft, so they should be available.

18. Auction of Used Motor Vehicles and other goods

(a)    The Purchaser acknowledges that:

(iv)    it must satisfy itself as to the condition, description and state of repair of the Lot prior to the Auction Sale;

No. It means that she was COVID-positive when she took the bus to work, and now there's a lot of world-wide contact tracing going on.

ALL GREEK 

Graecum est; non legitur ("it is Greek, [therefore] it cannot be read") This phrase was increasingly used by monk scribes in the Middle Ages, as knowledge of the Greek alphabet and language was dwindling among those who were copying manuscripts in monastic libraries

It appears in 1599 in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, as spoken by Servilius Casca to Cassius after a festival in which Caesar was offered a crown:

CASSIUS: Did Cicero say any thing?

CASCA: Ay, he spoke Greek.
CASSIUS: To what effect?

CASCA: Nay, an I tell you that, I'll ne'er look you i' the face again: but those that understood him smiled at one another and shook their heads; but, for mine own part, it was Greek to me

It had to be paraphrased for humour's sake. That's the reason for the commas.

I'm sorry, but a dead language modern life are not compatible is the translation of "Im paenitet, sed mortuus linguarum modern vita opiniones illae haud desinunt"  The word "et", meaning "and" should have been placed between "linguarum"  and "modern" . 

I was simply paraphrasing Caesar's dying words from Act 3 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar in the vain attempt at humour.

You left out the "et", too, Brute.

For the sake of us all, would you mind recording your Dad's stories? We must take all steps we can to record for posterity the history of the Common Man, no matter what they did. We are living in a world where there exist photographic records of every part of peoples' lives. We can't make pictures of what happened in the past, but we can at least record memories.

Thanks, I saw the OP and thought I'd add some clarification.

No. Thank you for taking the time to participate in the discussion. I hope that you will continue to contribute your experience.

Here's a link to Pickles Terms and Conditions.

No control should be located in a position that can result in its being unintentionally operated, or unreachable by the operator. That's just simple ergonomic design.

Calls for an investigation of the location of the flap lever. This is a fine example of Murphy's Law.

Being an auctioneering business is not a bad little earner.

The seller pays the auctioneer to sell something. The buyer pays the auctioneer for selling something.

I had a look at one General Auctioneer's fees in Sydney. The Seller pays the auctioneer 20.9% of the hammer price (plus GST). The Buyer pays the Auctioneer 20.9% of the hammer price. That means that if an object sold for $100, the Auctioneer would get $41.80. The Seller gets $79.10 and the Buyer pays $120.90.

12.5 Any monies recovered by and paid to the Company by the Buyer shall be applied in the following order (in each case together with Interest) to the payment of:

(a) any legal or other costs incurred by the Company;

(b) any transport or storage costs;

(C) the Expenses, Lotting Fee and Indemnity Fee;

(d) the Premium;

(e) the Seller’s Commission; and

(f) any balance remaining shall be paid by the Company to the Seller.

What's your interpretation of 4(2) in that same act?

 

Mike

Under 'marché ouvert' (market overt in England), if goods were openly sold in designated markets between sunrise and sunset, provenance could not be questioned and effective title of ownership was obtained. The law originated centuries ago when people did not travel much; if the victim of a theft did not bother to look in his local market on market day—the only place where the goods were likely to be—he was not being suitably diligent.

The New South Wales Act specifically declared that there shall not be deemed to be or have been any market overt in that State. https://www.lrc.justice.wa.gov.au/_files/P89-R.pdf

What an excellent explanation!

Ha! Ha!

They got you coming and going.

Have you ever tried to maintain a constant speed in a car while driving in free-flowing traffic? There is too much going on "outside the cockpit" to be constantly monitoring an indicator that you know is affected by a multitude of variables, the most common of which is the diameter of the outer circumference of the tyres. Personally, after having compared engine RPM to a GPS derived speed reading, I rely on my tacho to monitor speed. This is because there are fewer divisions on the tacho scale, so the information I need is immediately identifiable. Also, I can look up the RPM value for best torque output and let the engine work away at that, because for 99% of the time, I don't need a herd of horsepower to get the results I want. 

Now switch over to flying circuits in a plane.  Early in a career, a pilot is as busy as a one-armed paper hanger, especially on base and finals. As experience grows, the pilot gets as busy as a one-armed paper hanger's supervisor. In any case, no pilot has the time to stare at an ASI to decipher a reading when close to the ground.

Last time I heard any reference to it ,adding permanent marking to the ASI is not legal.

Are you able to identify the reference for that?

It would be need for someone to know as " ignorantia legis neminem excusat".  A criticism, of course, is that in the present age, with the proliferation of legislative instruments that touch upon almost every aspect of modern life, it is extraordinarily difficult for an ordinary citizen (who has not had the benefit of legal training) to remain apprised of his or her rights and responsibilities under the law.

" ignorantia legis neminem excusat" = ignorance of the law excuses no one

The thing is, what is the IAS when the stall warning device begins to squawk? it's a warning device, so it must be designed to activate before the airspeed gets to the stall speed.

Maybe that's why they are noted for their float between flare and touch down. Perhaps between flare and tough down they simply have ballistic motion.

The red dot is the fall from flare height to ground simply due to Gravity. The blue dot shows the combination of horizontal velocity and fall due to gravity.  Notice that at each time interval, the dots are on the same line because the acceleration due to gravity is the same. The displacement of the blue dot is due to its horizontal velocity at launch, which for the red dot is 0 m/s.
