Made the changes Dex, how embarrassing!

I still cant work it out.Bernie

Your heading is 010

At 30 Nm out from the start you look across at a landmark on your planned route and estimate you are 1 Nm to the right.

What does your new heading need to be to intersect your destination?

Any navigators who can help Bernie out?

(Edited the 60 km out - sorry, I got LOST)

The pennies are starting to drop.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm............................

"Now you're talking Locky" said Mavis.

"Too right" said Edna supportively.

 

"I'm interested too" commented Nanna "But how come my grand daughter has reported that it'z not very big, it'z quite wrinkled, and why is it a dull grey color?"

 

The MachismoMentoratti looked at each other and all grabbed a mirror to help each other inspect it. (The MachismoMentoratti were set up very much like the Knights Templar (or CASA) where they all guarded each other's backs, (and occasionally looked after each other's fronts too) ............... and one of them even moderatti'd one of Ian's recent posts, so a good look in the mirror had the anonymous MM to Goldy's right say ...................

"Roses are red, violets are blue, I'd tell you how not to, but haven't a clue"

....... or as most pilots know it by the acronym LTOOPR ............... which we all know is Moderator code for yelling "Trolop".

"I have never been so insulted, but did someone call me?" asked ...................

Mozart with a T, "Women throw themselves at me, but mostly miss"

"How HE ever got to be a Moderator is beyond me" commented Bryon with a good quantity of envy.

"They all do it" said Planey "As I accidentally got into the Moderator's section of the Forum and was shocked to see a thread with the heading ".............

"Lycra Tights, Olive Oil, and pink Roses"

Bacchus Marsh came out top for convenience on the last query.

The Facthunter explanation is right to the point (provided, as he says, if you apply the corrections the right way)

It's 0rigins are quite interesting.

The Egyptians knew the earth was round, were using the degree, and were working on 360 degrees in a circle thousands of years before pythagoras was born.

They were able to measure the circumference of the earth, and were using the nautical mile for navigation.

The Nautical Mile had been derived from the 360 degrees; each degree equating to 60 Nautical Miles of circumference on the surface of the earth.

The Egyptians incorporated a nautical mile into the Great Pyramid where twice the circumference equals 1 nautical mile, allowing precise angular calculations to be incorporated which weren't possible with the Royal Cubit.

"...hidden it about my person."

The meeting with board members at Natfly would have represented about 0.4% of the members.

S0 around 9,570 Members are in the dark, and even the members on this site have only been given the odd piece of information, or something like "that question was answered"

This thread is for posts where more of the membership can be filled in on how many people attended, what happened, what the answers were, and so on.

"In a cwosswind, do you cwab of fwy one wing down? (aviation qwestion)" asked the CFI.

"All this talk of cwabs makes me uncomfortable, and itchy." He (or she ....... not that there is anything wrong with that) replied. "So how about we switch the discussion to ...................

"Just like you" said Uncle Bill from Mayfair (See, who was watching the Woyal Wedding), " you make a statement then try to cwose the fred"

"You don't cwab down in a Cwosswind, you use cwossed controls" Uncle Bill continued.

"Anyway, do we KNOW you"? he concluded, thinking he must contact his nephew who had been silent for a while

The bigger question was how did friend B get enough angle to see the instruments, an instructor asked me to land a 172 from the RH seat a few months back and I gave up looking and landed by the seat of my pants. Great save though.

I think that's what the journalist was trying to say in a very subtle way.

... WAC of Tassie"

RamperRat had seen right through his cunning plan to fly to the land Phils to jump in that river and see if he came out as.....

...a cwab

....or maybe one of CFI's mongels!

............ "That really is some flying suit, Locksy. Do they come with all SportZsaras?" said ElRatsack as he read the NES with amazement "And I thought you were being daring when you outed yourself as the very model of a modern major moderator, but to now stand there in that chiffon suit, with just the right amount of see-through, and I just love those epaulettes with the four gold sequin bars, which makes you look AMAZING. Stand over there with the light behind you and let us all see your ...........

...sequins"

Lockjock's chest visibly expanded, and he gave his right wrist an extra flick (he was left handed)....

"Speaking of "Paragons"" interjected the PhartBlaster (and not referring to Voldy) "How about we all meet there for a feed tonight (Goulburn in-joke), and I'll show you my latest wide screen HD video, taken close-up with my new lens ......... and you can tell me whether it makes my bum look big."

"From that view it is sure to, how did you possibly strap it to that thing, didn't that 124 knot per hour tape pull lots of hair out when you removed it, and you've sure been around as I think I glimpsed Tassie in a couple of shots" said Nanna "But the music was stunning. What was it called Slarts, baby."

 

Ross thought and replied "It was ......................

"Am a gunna be - a - MOO - VEE - STAR!"

However Turbo found out from Tissue that this flight was never made; it was filmed in a studio in Canberra at Taxpayers expense.

To save money the producer had used old footage from tourist campaigns, and in fact that WAS a part of Tasmania, well spotted Captain!

In another shot you can see the side of Paul Hogan's boot, and in another one Lara Bingle......removed, moderator...and there's one part where some shots from a NSW Government Locust Spray Programme were used - you can see the yellowish guts all over the nose beside the windscreen.

Hi Sue...yes I agree. It needs to be organised now! As has been proven its a big event and leaving it till the last minute doesnt work. There are a number of RAA members who over the last week have put their hands up to volunteer to help organise. We need to be forming a committee now to harness these offers. After the AGM is too late. Why does it need to be a Board member that runs it? Havent they got enough on their plate with out this monumental task? A committee that reports back progress to some one on the board would be appropriate.Scotty

The Insurance Company also works it out.

What about a B&S Ball on the Saturday night?

............ to the fact that they are a crustacian, and had developed a crust (yucky poo).

"I got one when I was wrowing at Oxford" volunteered Algenon. "It was a dashed nuisance and totally destwoyed my wreputation with the chaps (not that there is anything wrong with that). Our stroke, Voldemort (aviation term), wasn't happy either."

 

"Yes" said Tarquin "Old Voldy got really angwy (you antipodians would say that he weally spat the dummy [he was totally paralytic-ed off]) and yelled "I say Algy, you are a wrotter for catching that cwab"".

 

"Was that a genus Brachyura or a Toffygitura?" asked Edna, based on her time spent studying this subject at Yale "And can I stick 'em on the barby at Brine's joint when we are having a knees-up as foreplay, (getting ready to do what Will and Kate are up to at the moment)?"

 

Bryon walked out into the main drag in Dandenong and shouted his reply, which sounded like (or were words to the effect of) "I will always ........................

" then hesitated and yelled "Watch out for the six tall men with broken bottles!" for this area was second only to the battlefields of Lebanon, Bosnia, and Prunea.

But it was too late, and Edna, who in the local tradition wore a strapless dress with bra straps over the shoulder, became one more innocent victim.

"I say!" said Voldemort who was a paragon of virtue, "you can't say that about the Woyal couple, people have had their heads chopped off for thet, Eau may GOD!"

And it was so nice of that man to spray the runway with foam just in case you screwed up the takeoff Slarti.
