However they are deaths all the same, but from different causes.  All right, a similar comparison maybe deaths from the Flu?

More die from the Flu than Covid……so far anyway.

We'll see when Australia opens up.

I will say it again, an average of just over 400 people die EVERY day in Australia for some  reason.

60 people die EVERY day alone, from Cardiac Arrest in Australia.

When you say this over again you are confirming that you don't understand the first thing we are taking about, and it will only tempt some else who doesnt know what we are talking about to post the births, add some immigrants, and start talking about how the population is actually growing.

trying to stop the deaths ah,,hmmmmm well i just got tested and guess what is top and centre on the form they give you,,,,,,,Covid 19 is serious but MOST PEOPLE RECOVER AFTER A WEEK OR SO WITHOUT GOING TO HOSPITAL,,,,,,,,,,So where are all the full hospitals if MOST RECOVER WITHOUT GOING TO HOSPITAL.........official government issied advice about covid ,no scaremongering like some on here...................And this is without the bloody vaccine too.......

 

Here are the current NSW figures direct from Health NSW

Year to date: New Cases 13,195, Deaths 72

If you have a way to identify those 72 people 3 months before they die, you'd have the problem fixed.

That's the most common layout. Individual toe brakes. Austers have a heel operated CABLE set up which is a bit challenging. On a Jabiru I still rely on the rudder a lot for directional control and not allow much  weight onto the nosewheel till you slow up. Maybe real good brakes would create problems They are only small wheels.. Nev

Strong nosewheel for RA though.

mmmm. I know another who fitted a smaller master cylinder (VH exp J430) 

Stuart, any other hand brake operated GA around, how long is the lever compared to the short Jab one ?

It's not just the one measurement (lever), it's the combination ratio.

EXEMPTIONS

I seems those exemptions are Not worth the trouble getting them, as the police are Not allowing your exemption !.

But applying the letter of the law, & your appeal will not be acknowledged. 

The fine for no mask while out exercising with your canine friend is over $ 500 !, more than some make in their weekly wage.

The New double dose exemption is the 'Digital ' wallet.

New phone for some !.

New internet for the above,

AND

Digital tracking for ALL .

spacesailor

You're from NSW aren't you? They are trying to stop the deaths! Take a look at the daily scores; how can you be so callous as to put more importance on walking a dog?

And as for the 'Digital' whining, you're on here, the internet going your hardest.

Even nicely bled, my J230 doesnt want to pull up that well. They are dual caliper brakes.

 

Not sure if it is a combination of the partial  plastic brake lines + small master cylinder 

 

or maybe the pads are glazed (see that on motorcycles and bicycles - need to roughen the pads again on some concrete) 

 

There is of course limit to how much SHEAR you can put on the mains- the undercarriage is not braced in any way to resist front to rear forces (heavy braking).

 

Need also to get my idle down a bit. lots of thrust from that prop even at low RPM.

 

Given that brakes are a safety component it's even more important to know what you can legally modify. Armed with that knowledge:

If the J170 is any example you just about need to start braking five miles out from the threshold!

Not a pleasant experience after a GA aircraft.

Starting at the activating point, from memory  the brake arm is very short. In a hydraulic braking system there are rules of thumb for the ratio between master cyliner length and activation length, usually the foot sole. I've forgotten the number but it's way more than that tiny Jab lever, and as well, you are trying to control it with your muscles applied diagonally, so even with the Jab Master cylinder, the ratio might be too short to allow the slave cylinders to do their job properly.

You could check the specification of the plastic brake lines to see if they might be expanding, but I used plastic in race cars and gave them a good workout under many scary moments.

The ratio of Master cylinder size vs slave cyclinders size as you say will be part of the equation. The smaller the master cylinder diameter the more distance you have to move the lever, but the more pressure you will be exerting on the slave cylinders.

I don't think it's glazed pads; every Jab1 60/170 I flew was pretty much the same - about half the braking capacity of a Warrior.

When you look at Jabiru design evolution, you can see they eliminated any rough landing damage when they could and the mains beam is one of the better suspensions in aviation. If by some chance you managed to get braking efficiency up to the point where it exceeded torsional limits of the suspension, it would be around the clamp joint which is not likely to budge, but you could get some toe-in/toe-out flutter as a warning you were getting close, however, in my opinion you would have to break your finger on the brake level first.

If you've exhausted the possibilities it would be worth talking to a Brake Engineer from someone like Bendix, to get all the techical calc and ways to calcuate your way out of the problem.

The centre console of the Jab is a squeeze fit for all the cables - a trade off for ease of fat bums.

Some interfere with others; so you likely will have experienced the sight of your trim level coming away from where you set it etc.

I would not drop throttle rpm below what Jabiru sets - below that sometimes you get an embarrasing acceleration lag, spit back or other exciting experiences.

Having said that, with the throttle closed there should be a specification or adjuster for the carb. If the idle is erratic, i.e. one day 600 rpm, another day 750 rpm, then the cosole bulge may be the culrpit, otherwise, if it always drops back to the same figure but that is nore than you want, go up the cable section by section until you find the restriction.

Not sure if there is any great revelation here - duty of care, by employer/service (hire vehicle, aircraft) to provider to provide a safe vehicle/work environment is well established/understood by most.

So many people don't understand the reversal of responsibility from the old prescriptive days when employers would give employees unroadworthy vehicles and just pay the fines when eventually one of their vehicles was caught in the random road blitzes which used to be run.

An emergency command declared by whom?  The Government, or in many cases, an unelected public official! Who is not accountable to the public for their actions, beyond getting a bad performance review next quarter...

There are no checks or balances applied to these "Declarations of Emergency" beyond time limits, which IIRC, the Victorian Government had a bit of a brouhaha with wanting to extend.

 

Declare a SoE, and you can do (almost) whatever you want, such as imprisoning residents of an apartment block, or stealing (sorry, "Confiscating") alcohol being delivered to residents of said locked-down tower, among lost of other measures.

Declared by the person appointed under the grounds of the State of Emergency, the State of Emergency being democratically declared by both sides of Parliament.

To date there have been several Statement of Emegency extensions; not one has been blocked by the opposition.

Not that hard to understand.

It's worse than that; playground mothers' congregations started again, no masks in another suburb with active cases and the local dog park was crowded with groups not wearing masks and talking at close quarters.

The dailymail is not accurate with the "despite no evidence of transmission at any of them" comment, because DHHS closed the playgrounds specifically because they had recorded covid transmissions and had to isolate people at several playgrounds

I have read your arguments on this m  - there is logic in what you promote but the facts you use are selective, so at the end your conclusion is, in my opinion, wanting.

Yes, of course it is wanting because this is just a social media site, I am not a lawyer and therefore cannot provide legal advice. This is merely a few thought bubbles in the air to get people thinking.

I certainly will not be visiting my customers unless they are operating 100% vaccinated, and if you had a potential customer who wanted to be taken on a test flight, but was unvaccinated, you would have to make your decision, NGAF not being one of the options.

Turbo had agreed to invest because he would get his money back in "Catskin" (c) clothing, and this would also pay for the final transfer of the original Rodds Bay Cat Farm to Deloraine in Tasmania where there was a lovely stream to provide water and carry away the waste, and the fur would grow lush. The Problem with the Queensland farm was that mange is endemic to Queensland and mangy cat fur is hard to sell and has to be discounted. As people from the other States know when they go on holidays, Queensland people have much less hair and if you look closely you'll see the brown tint of mange. This is why there's such a problem with people trying to cross the Queensland border to get to work. All the shop assistants and tour guides have to come from NSW or the tourists would baulk at the theme park rides, and ...................

[Turbo respectfully ever so slightly disagrees with OT. I his oil industry days, Turbo ran a drilling rig on  Inuktitut Island, where no English was spoken and Turbo had a hard time getting riggers to do what he wanted until he started belting them with Stilsons until he learnt the laguage. Turbine Drilling had hired the world-famous Professor Iqualuit Iglulik to do the prospecting analysis on the grounds that he lived only 3 miles away and he worked for $15/day. The good professor who was also an Epidemeologist (so we can quote him) wrote dozens of theses on Oil Exploration in the Arctic Circle, all written in  Inuktitut, and these are held in the Smithsonian]

There is much in your comments, that I agree with however there are work situations/environments where I strongly support mandatory vaccination - The very concept of a safe working environment (an employer legal obligation) demands this in many if not most instances. Basically all work environments where either your work colleagues or customers/public may be put at risk by you or where you are at risk from your interactions with colleagues/the public should require your vaccination.

If you've been vaccinated (and assuming the current Vaccinated people can become infected and spread the virus, but can't suffer permanent injury or die position):

1. Your unvaccinated work colleages don't put you at risk

2. Your customers and the public don't put you at risk

3. You put your unvaccinated customers at risk

4. You put your unvaccinated fellow workers at risk

The forseeable risk is in the last two groups, so:

The Employer's duty of care is to ensure that groups 3 &4 are excluded from the business.

If it's an airline groups 3 & 4 can't be part of it or travel on it.

That changes if the government grants an exemption as they did to the medical professionals for Astrazeneca, but the chances of a claim where they might have to pay out are so remote as to be petty cash in the budget whereas the above would have a lot more casualties who could make claims of negligence. (I posted a recent example of a successful claim against just this arrangement in the thread Public Liability)

............as she is.

There was a faint indication from bull's description of the Queensland Premier that there could be the slightest bad blood there somewhere.

Anyway he had refocused on the 50,000 Quarantine centre.

The Achilles Heel in the project was that there weren't 50,000 people or even one city in AA, and no nationals to round up, let alone an AA language or an AA flag for for that matter a government to pay for the cost, so .................

This one's a bit unusual in that Victoria's TAC was involved, but it includes the normal elements: a duty of care was owed, the duty of care was breached. It also inludes the exlanation that it wasn't intentional.

This would be of interest to someone who loans or hires and aircraft.

Another close friend who went into a coma and passed a day after his second jab, hadn't even left the house for over 6 weeks other than to get his jab, he had had no visitors at all in that time, but his death was put down as covid. But of course there are no longer autopsies carried out, so we will never know.

I can see that already one person has drawn some conclusions from what you said.

They wouldn't have had to do an autopsy to diagnose Covid, just a swab. A Death Certificate isn't a casual document; if there's any doubt a Coroner investigates. Sounds like some information is missing.
