"bisectomy, and......."
-
You've been given very sound advice by several very knowledgeable people for free, you've asked a question which indicates a serious deficiency, you've backchatted people who tried to help you, so what do you expect.

Yeah, that's one method of designthat he thought it would be more than sufficient for the fuse skin also.-

Was that when you landed the 727 on the beach Nev?

With a 30-08 in his right hand pointing out the window over his shoulder, then stick back and BAM!I've chased buffalo's in Arnhem land in an F-27It was great for the passengers in those days - always a story to tell, and the buff steaks were a special treat cooked by the hosties on arrival.

The way you flew B727's I would have signed you off on mustering; the cattle would only need one muster to run like hell for the yards if they heard a turbine after that!I think the RAAus have themselves in a knot over the LL . I taught it in GA. Had an endorsement for 400 foot circuits in B727's ( Subject to recency requirements.) I was TEACHING it in the RAA and when the "certificate" format changed applied for it and Mick Poole would not issue it and that I would have to be doing mustering or such to be issued with it. How would an instructor legally teach it ?. Nev-

We have to have reasons for owning guns these days FH, and the reasons are spelled out to stop us inventing new ones, so the precedent is there.

Good comments to defend ag pilots, but this was a circuit beat up against circuit direction, and most of the bravado here is coming from people whose skill isn't up to an ag pilot's a******e.Teck, I guess you havn't been trained lucky yet by that statement. Like it or not there is a professional way to manage low level flying and thats why we get trained in risk management and hazard identification. And if it was never allowed then CASA would not have made rules to that effect with endorsements etc. The difference with wanna be's and professionals is the training. There are definitely areas not to fly low level at any stage without a proper plan. Just because you dont like the taste of vegemite, dont tell me I cant have it, coz I grew up on it. Probability is what will kill you, unless you are trained to reduce that probability which is very much achievable, and this has been endorsed by the very regulators that control us. No one is going to let me do brain surgery without the proper education and training, nor would I even try and do the training required. Its not for me, nor is it for many many people. Low ops are the same. Keep an open mind about low flying and dont ridicule those that do it professionally!Enjoy your lunch? Thank an Ag Pilot!Wear cotton? Thank an Ag Pilot!

Nobody, absolutely nobody, is ever fooled by that sort of comment, which from time to time is included on fatal accident reports.beat up? or Go-Around? -
Because there are statutory requirements which no one is exempt from, so there's no point in trying to sell the "little guy" emotion.
However, as Frank Marriott has tried to get across several times, it might just pay to check the facts before getting emotional.

What these people are trying to tell you is correct. A honeycomb structure consists of an inner skin, core, and outer skin, and many different materials can be used for each, and there are a few different manufacturing methods as well.
All these methods produce different strengths for impact and bending.
The design itself can multiply strength by hundreds of percent if angles or curves are built into the moulds
The principle of honeycomb design, simplified, is that two stressed members act in tension, held apart by the core, so the tensile strength of the outer and inner skins determines the strength for a given core strength, and total strength can be increased by separating the two skins further apart.
So with the same skin thickness and tensile strength a 12 mm core will produce much greater strength than a 3 mm core.
Conversely, if you used a 3 mm core, but the skins, through material strength or skin thickness had much higher tensile strength, the 3 mm core combination could be stronger.
That's why you have to engineer the design.
Just cutting a Jab structure might tell you the skin materials, core material and dimensions FOR THAT LOCATION. The beauty of composite design is that we can use different laminate and core thickness right through the product to save weight and cost. You would want to cut either the thinnest or thickest section then try to build a fuselage; it would finish up too light or too heavy.

.......they COMMUNICATE - they speak to you!
"They're quick with their invoices too" said Picklehead who'd defected three years ago and believed if you had to ask how much it cost to fly, you couldn't afford it.
"But I might not keep my legendary status" said E-Paulette "some of those people are Vice Marshalls!"
"Madge is one too, always marshalling when there's a good looker around, so what's the problem," said ....

There's no doubt that would account for a few, but on the forced landing statistics I pulled - where if you don't pull off the landing you're stuffed - pointed more to engine issues.My guess is they will find current maint isnt good enough and someone qualified should be doing it. -

Here's the YT clip - just remember that this guy had exceptional skills, training and qualifications for the airshow display.

Landing with Facthunter in his T Jets was pretty much the same as that Cub, there were divots out of every grass verge in every State.

A half roll [AT] which shot out like a Harley piston two hundred metres from the front gate.
At this loud report Peter Doubt cried out What we need is better governance, and he was about to come on full song when he saw a dark shadow above, and two huge thighs descending.

I'd agree that it's wrong to use high speed and Auster in the same sentence. His beat up started as soon as the wheels left the ground and he stayed low made a turn to fly between two hangars, and appears to ave climbed up into the power line. If you open up the full pdf report you'll see the photos of track, strip etc.

Here are two fatals:

There was another one I recall in outback SA where the pilot did a beat up along the runway to say farewell and turned straight into the radio mast, killing every one on board.
These are all GA, and show the hazards of colliding with objects, not having room for a misjudged aircraft response etc.
Other hazards are being subjected to wind shear (many pilots are yet to experience a 50' instant drop), and an engine failure becomes an Engine Failure After Take Off, usually with not enough runway to slow down enough to land.

These days it's more likely to be a chewable synthetic made from scrap US car tyres isn't it?

".....6 metre concrete Agitater Bowl"
Turbo thought for a while; he didn't want to upset his dear friend Hatcrap......
"Well there was a circus which came to town when I was a kid and they had the "biggest woman in the world" there. She couldn't fit in the tent so they tied her up on a change outside - something about not discriminating against animals, which is now known as "Diversity"
"Anyway I'd say his is bigger than hers, but certainly not as big as an agitator bowl."
There was a rumbling, and a fine mist....................
