  1. SEE! , Again, total confusion!, I don't think its the trainer's, BUT if the administration can't get their wording to mean the same, to ALL & sundry.

     

    If RAA only interprets what CASA says, and the training school only Interprets what RAA says, and the school instructor puts his/her slant on what they were told.

     

    YOU will have answers to questions like the one I failed.

     

    "What causes icing? " answer = moisture in the air!.

     

    Very bad for Darwin with 80 per cent moisture, but great for the Antarctic with a valley that's less then 5 per cent moisture.

  2. SEE!, :CAR 206 defines when an AOC is required, CAR 2(7)(iv) defines private operations that can be performed with a private pilots license. So I don't understand how these interact.:

     

    :this is the sort of regulation that needs to rewritten and defined in plain easy to comprehend and understand english.:

     

    ALL.: jibberish from CASA, if it wasn't this post would be very short:

     

    And perhaps I could pass my general aviation exam. Then fly.

  3. I read this:

     

    From the BP website:

     

    BLENDING DIESEL

     

    If you are not in an alpine area but have abnormally cold weather,a diesel blend may provide

     

    some relief to lower the cloud point. Heating oil (duty paid at diesel rate) is an effective

     

    blending agent and your BP supplier can provide information on how to perform this safely,

     

    but typically would involve the following:

     

    ??Heating Oil at 25 litres for each 100 Litres of diesel, or ??kerosene at 5 litres for each 100 litres of Diesel.

  4. Or a horizontally opposed twin cylinder, with a cylinder head at each end, That's four heads. That should be 30 hp, Big enough to power my HUMMELBIRD, LoL

     

    But seriously, wouldn't it be much heavier than having That crank in, than having the electrical winding's, plus an electric motor .

  5. Like " what causes engine icing" answer Moisture !,

     

    what! no temperature or venturi vacuume ?.

     

    RAA exam, Got me, missed a pass by one question.

     

    Now back to unbuilding the hummelbird, only a few thousand rivets to drill out.
