The vis looks pretty good from that view. 
 

Are the holds pressurised like the cabin?

wouldn’t they be freezing cold also if not using AC in the baggage areas.

You never forget that sound, even on the iPad speaker. 

Sadly a bit of young person cowboy action happening-from the report info,They think they are indestructible at that age. Same in cars.

Regardless of what happened, we have lost 2 aviators. Just like motor cars, zero fatalities is not an option, because shit happens. 
hopefully something comes out of findings that may help someone else make a decision.

i am sitting at  a cross road. 2 aeroplanes and a decision do I want to fly again or take up a less risky hobby.

Rich peoples stuff when I was doing rc.

spring starter 0.049 was brilliant for finger chops. Stupid me stuck fingers through prop to take glo lead off one time. About 15 good nicks that bleed like a bar stare when I bent them to look.

Couldn’t ask for a flatter site to have an event.

walking away is always a good outcome.

Ground fires from impact look pretty severe. Was it working time when it hit the industrial area. A lot of buildings seem damaged.

A thorough brief needs to be part of pre takeoff if you have that kind of safety gear it would be beneficial if your pax knows how it works if poo hits the fan.

it might have changed the outcome for the better.

7 news reporting aircraft dropped from 24000m to 560m rapidly. Even if they stuffed up the measurements in feet, FL 24 is a bit high. Also reported final velocity 190kmh, doesn’t a cirrus travel around 120 knots plus normally. My old C182 did 120 in cruise.

sometimes a bit more research before reporting would be better. 
sad outcome all round regardless.

I have done that in a Bristell. The sockets are together. We had no comms, thought the radio was u/s.

I did it in a sportstar once, sounded distant and tower could only hear me from other headset mike. ok once i worked out what happened.  they are behind the seats also.

Must have different 'ton's across the ditch

Does anyone know anything about a missing plane in the snowy area. News is vague about type other than 1 POB.

below freezing there , even if it’s a forced landing, it will be hard surviving.

nanna could knit pure wool ones, i believe wool fibre is a bit fire resistant.

wouldn't look to baaaad either

I was meaning more like these than the leotard, looks like they make them in neutral colours now, not just like a rainbow threw up.

Knitted leg warmers like the aerobic set from the 80’s.

light enough to roll off and drop on the seat before anyone sees you wearing them.

Nice piloting, would be extra awesome if someone builds a scale carrier and puts it on a lake for missions.

The rear seemed to be the perfect crumple zone.

were the occupants ok. 
 

People push past and block up the aisle in the dash 8 into Sydney all the timeushing to get out, only to stand at baggage for 10 minutes or more. Front to back by row should empty out. It’s not that complicated. I put it down to ignorance.

I had the Cessna window pop out on takeoff once, bit of a startle, but I kept on until a safe height to close it. Only closed it due to rustling of charts on leg board and noise level.

Worse if you only get a participation trophy, or one that is shared every year like the footy ones.

Isn’t that why we carry our whizz wheels with us to conver thingys to watsits

 PS. :  I just checked & confusion reigns supreme!.

Current colours 

 

what is yellow ?

Brown is active, blue is neutral and green is earth, usually with a yellow stripe. That four core is probably for an ac system, fan or something else that needs a control wire. Disclaimer: but don’t play with it unless you have a ticket.

Is it a super mega fugly, I think Kevin b Wilson sung about it.😉

 From initial pucs I was sulrised the cockpit was still together. The ground must slope away from.the runway, because I only saw the tail sticking up.

Is the structure any stronger than normal in these like a race car cage?
