Jabiru forced landing Port Pirie 11 Sept 2026
turboplanner replied to trailer's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Best not to assume what people are talking about if you don't know the actual history and lead them off the subject matter. This happened on another aircraft; people with no knowledge of the issues rabbiting on month after month that there was nothing wrong with the aircraft and the throwaway line, "if you can fly this you can fly anything!" even though they'd never flown one. They lost their value, young guys bought them cheap and that was the end of their flying. They never said they'd bent the aircraft, but I'd have to say about 20 have never seen the light of day since. -
....Turbine Catering could achive. Turbo patted down his long hair, straightened his gown, looked around at the 11 Apostles - Cappy was laid out on the floor; and began to cut the fish into four pieces. Nobody noticed,and if they did they shut up because the next act was Turbo's walking on water scene, and they knew that sometimes he slipped off the ropes. Turbo gave them a sermon about being good to each and pointed to the floor where the graphic vision made it obvious. There were a couple of announcements about taking your fish with you, and it was time for the walk..................

....dealing out the wafers and communion wine he came to Cappy on his knees. Within two minutes the wafers hd dropped into the river and were being eaten by ducks, the communion wine had run down his suit and trousers, although there was an argument, by some, that the trousers had already been soaked. It was allover Cappy using lower case to needle b.Bull. The Serving Table was wrecked. The first pew on the left side was on its back, as were eight choir grirls, the Mace was sticking out from a timber wall, and pages from today's Wall Street Journal were all over the floor. Cappy lurched up, squelching as he ran and smacked Bull in the nuts. Bull gathered himself then gave Cappy an uppercut. A thousand phones recorded the fight. Turbo was happily recording the event when .................... Fiiiiii......nally

.....decided to go one better and extend the Cruise Ship rides down South. There he would build the Ultimate Theme Park - ARMAGEDDON 1.5! This would cover the days when Earth had Climate Change and the United Nations Chief (Russel Crowe) declared that when the temperature increased by 1.5% Australia would be DESTROYED!. The site he chose for the Cruise Destination was...................Logan. He would knock down a few square kilometres of houses. The patrons would be picked up in scenic coaches with glass roofs to see the water bombers in action on the Armageddon Fires. Helicopter rides would allow patrons to be right there with the Police Chases, and K9 operations which you could see bite by bite. There would be multiple Stages (similar to Universal Studios, but bigger, where you could sit in on the prosecutions of people who hadn't bought roof top solar from Philippino call centres. There would be an Armageddon Stage where members of the audience could take part in the mayhem as Logan destructed. At the end of the day the guests would be given a free slice of pineapple with a parwyn on it. Some patrons, forgetting the $8000.00 ticket price would become teary at this beautiful free gift, and ......................

Jabiru forced landing Port Pirie 11 Sept 2026

Actually you could leave out the "enhanced directional" The 160 was a great improvement from the LS55, but there were complaints from the northern area of Australia that it didn't perform well enough in their, higher, temperature environment. Jabiru responded with the 170, with pretty much the J160 fuselage and empenage, but a much longer wing with much better lift in over-30 degree conditions. We got one of the first; it appears I was one of the test pilots. If you think about it, The combination of much longer wing, but the same short fueselage increased the Yaw Moment by a big amount. According to our CFI, in a crosswind approach, all landings were straight in, crossed controls .... or don't come back. Then we headed into winter. The high air density went from 30 degree days to 10 degree days, and the wing responded accordingly; you could lift a horse. Then came the windy days, mostly crosswind. I noticed the rudder running out of control authority a few times. A bit unsettling ...........but landing on the upwind wheel worked. Then one day a sudden gust on round out and the aircrtaft rotated with the aileron drag overcoming the short-arm rudder. Got it under control. The Instructors were adamant it was a beautiful aircraft. Several students walked away. Determined to find a way to control crosswinds, because there was usually no choice of runway on country strips, treed paddocks, I found rounding out with the upwind wheel touching down and the nose wheel 250 mm above the ground lessened the downwind wing lurching back and trying to steer the aircraft off the runway. I grudginly continued since the Instructors were saying it was a dream to fly and there was nothing wrong with the aircraft. Then came that kit, and suddenly all the 170s were being reworked. By then I'd moved on from Jabs, so I don't know whether that kit solved the issue. Hope it did. -
You have to look up the GA legislation relating to mandatory declaration of a Mayday You have to look up your RA obligations re flying over Coorparoo, is zoning and whether you need an upgrade to your currrent qualifications, and if flying a GA aircraft, your endorsements. Along the path, in GA, you might find the requirements for towing a banner, which answer your question. Or you might opt not to fly over a built up area but abeam of it. The proximity of the City probably kills that thought anyway.

........entered through an archway under a giant Parwyn's tail. There were bubbling sound which made the patrons trot through, just in case more than bubbling came out. How good was this! What could get any better? Bull built a landing for Cruise Ships on the end of the three mile. Turbine Cruises were contracted to supply six Ships with 5000 passenger capacity running "rides 24 hours a day for $58.00. Monorail shuttles carried passengers from the Jetty to the landing which had a 2000 seat Starbucks in full swing 24/7. Life was good, but Bull didn't stop there......................................................................................................................................

Of course, as some Nessers have guessed, the unmistakeable "Gin Skin", beady eyes, and grin with a fag in his tooth gap was Cappy, who else! Cappy had a nice little earner as one of the "characters" who "warmed up" the crowd in the half hour wait at the ticket booths. OT was there to of course as the "Invisible Man", along with CT as "Davie Crocket" carrying a gun which went off with a roar, just as everyone was getting bored.

.....started acting up, as Slovaians do. They were upsetting the staff with their abuse so Bull brought the tender around invented a river ride, took them out into the middle of the river, gave them an address about courtesy which consisted of 12 words, beating the President Lincoln Gettysburgh address, the last two being XXX XXXXXX!. Meanwhile Bull was thinking about the Golden Arches. People kept on asking what the Parwyns were, annoying Bull so he built a Mini Train Line across to Maccas on Bruce, got a licence to paint the big yellow M on the Parwyns and set up mutual free-meal, free visit deals. The cars poured in off the Bruce. Bull and Maccas had to knock down 30 hecares of Wetland habitat for the car park. While he was at it, Bull built a clover leaf overpass and captured the southbound traffic as well. Bull wanted to start a Parwyn Casino away, so he dragged Cappy away from scrutinising every piece of spelling that haad ever been written, and they built a causeway 3.1 miles out to sea, and ................

....long and happy career as a Parwyn Girl. It was usually the bright red US Marching Girls outfits the girls didn't like, but Bull did and that's what counted. People poured in by the thousands. Bull had always been mesmerised by those fountains which squirt a small stream of water into the air and it performs a perfect parabola into a pipe a short distance away. Most people walk away just in case their own system starts squirting in sympathy. Bull hired an Engineer to design The Big Squirt, which involved building a twin Big Parwyn then in a perfect parabola the roller coaster would leave Parwyn 1 and arrive at Parwyn 2 after a bored pimply attendant sitting in a deck chair fired an elephant gun as they left P1. Tens of thousands flew in from around the world including half the population of Slovaia who thought they owned the place. Bull sat there counting his money and he was happy........until ...........

Bull decided to franchise his huge financial success - take it around the world, Launceston, Bordertown, Gympie ("They could have a Parwyn Muster"), but Deniliquin laid down a mil. for the rights to "the Deni Parwyn Muster" - 230 acres of stalls, Topless parwyn dancers on Ute Roofs, ..................................

........Coats of many colours with parwyns super glued on, and it should be said, giving off the perfume of the coast. As the audience trooped out after the show, they were given a free parwyn each to take home ( the cost +50%) had been added to ticket costs. The audience told their friends about the free parwyns, and the queue was half a mile long the next night. Bull started riding around in a chauffer driven black BYD. A train line had to be built in to the wharf. Bull Knocked the building down and built a 24 story Auditorium, Casino and Hotel. He started wearing spangles. The Hotel Part overhang the river, so people could fish for Cod. The following day the Hotel was booked out by people fishing while they drank from the Turbine Bars and sat watching the football. There were some complaints from elderly people saying they had been hit by flying cods, and one old boy said he'd been hit in the cods, so notices had to be posted saying be careful with your cods. The Hotel developed a fishy odour, and some people said they wouldn't be back. Bull knocked out six rooms on the eighth floor, hired four crop dusters from Tamworth, painted their aircraft in US Navy colours and advertised an Airshow every night by the Real Roulettes from the Top Gun School at San Diego. He filled the tanks with deodorant from Turbine Airshow Solutions Inc. The show ended with a "Fly-Through" right through the eighth floor. The next night the train was full nd people were sitting on the roof like they do in Delhi............................

... a prelude. Then, in the style of Universal Studios, he rigged up a trawler to replicate being tossed around in a stormy sea, cresting the waves (enhanced by soap suds. Bull himself is the skipper, with that determined look on hid face, like he was about to go into the kitchen to find Beryl at the Bone RSL (but without the breaking cups and plates and the "XXXX XXX u XXXX!!!!). A Coastguard Ship looms up aand the Skipper yells "Stand by to abandon ship!" Bull replies "I wouldn't abandon it there!" to laughter from the huge audience. Hidden pumps pour seawater all over the cabin but Bull looks unfazed, and then..................

Why do you say the Civil action will fail? Sometimes the parties come to an agreement before the case is heard, but often on the day they can be unpredictable.

A modern composite aircraft CAN FLOAT

FRP aircraft construction will go to the bottom as fast as metal, but if you're going to be flying over big wetlands often, its easier to design and build FRP flotation areas. -
........Jetty where the PT (we don't call them Prawn Trawlers any more because it used to put the chicks off when you told them you were a prawn trawler. They'd block your posts quick.) was tied up. Not many people came to the Jetty at first, but Bull would offer them a raw prawn, and they'd come back the next night until there as a queue there each night at seven. When the nightly troipical storm came,they'd all get wet so he built a wind and rain shelter. They brought their partner, they brought their kids, they brought their neighbour's, all wanting the raw prawn. He had to build an up market shed for their protection, but then coaches of 50 started rolling up He built an ornate restaurant with carved marble Big Prawns around the tropical garden, the restaurant had big fans on the roof to blow the smell away from the patrons, who loved when Bull dressed up in his red silk suit with the little back hat and greeted them on the wharf. There was a fireworks show at 7 pm each night and then they'd all get their raw prawns and dance the night away. It was a simple formula but ut worked. It got even better when bull..........................

Turbo however is wide awake to what goes on when Een starts making pages 8 pages long. He's got an instrument which does that. Not many people know that in a previous life he was a Warden in a South Guyana, prison Colony. ....billy, or was that Bobby, or meybe it was Bull the Parwn, (as he liked to be called these days).

You can't blame Bruce after a litetime of sniggers. Bruce flew a Snedden 14. The Snedden was not the most beautiful Ultralight around, but suited people who wanted all four wheels on the ground. Bruce had just started to tell Turbo all it's good points when in walked ...........

........he met Owen. Owen shook Turbo's hand and said he never misses a read of the NES, relies on it for his daily news in fact. Turbo started to move away, but Owen followed. Turbo pretended he knew one of the Councillors and waved; the Councillor turned his back. Turbo sat down and pretended to go to sleep. Owen sat down beside him.Turbo yawned and said he might miss his train. He sprinted for the new Train Station (named FifteenBillionSpent). Raced through the gate, jumped through the doors which hit his nuts and sat down relieved. He turned and there was Owen,...........smiling .....................
