  1. I can think of a couple of examples straight off:

     

    Taking off overweight

     

    Taking off down wind

     

    ...and so on.....

     

    I know the Coates operation and designed a number of trucks for them, and they never once objected to paying extra money for compliance, so this is generally a safe and conscientious Company.

     

    What this decision seems to point to is the importance of not only having safety strategies and rules in place, but making sure they are publicised and policed.

  2. This case shows part of the Public Liability pattern.

     

    Note that the half million dollar fine was imposed on the owner of the premises, not the tow truck driver.

     

    Time line to date is five years.

     

    This is just the penalty, so it's possible that on top of this will be the civil suit, which could be millions, and any criminal prosecution.

     

    In aviation, this would equate to the owner or operator of an airfield, getting the penalty for a pilot incorrectly operating an airfield based aircraft at the airfield.

  3. The mice ended up knowing everything having digested all that knowledgeDazza it was Finelec. I had a tyre that ( unknown to me ) had some of it used and it went down on me ( Don't be rude) at high speed Ok while I was moving fast but difficult as you slowed down. I still think it's illegal. If you get stuck somewhere you can pack the tyre with dried grass, in an emergency. Nev

    We know what you meant Nev (he gets them in doesn't he)

     

    You can also take the tyre off and run on the rim (I got this from watching "Cops".

     

     

  4. I dumped Firefox because of that problem, which seemed to happen at every upgrade, and took hours to fix.

     

    Went to Google, but still get the odd problem.

     

    Seems to be a fight between Microsoft and the others with MS seeming to create just enough compatibility problems to steer you back to their product. They're not counting on the long term rejection of doing that.

     

     

  5. Did you like the segment where they tested the aircraft in the freezing wind tunnel to simulate the huge frozen winds they would be contending with during the flight, supposedly not realizing that an aircraft moves in the moving air mass and with a top speed of around 30 km/hr is going to have a lot less wind chill factor than a climber on the ground.......but Bear got his slight frostbite for the cameras.

     

     

  6. When you look at the appalling behaviour on all sides coming out of the Hempel story you make a very good point poteroo.

     

    Introducing a change without an explanation where pilot after pilot is publicly scratching his head about the shortage of logic is almost inviting infringement.
