page 23 - rupert red two - autobigraphy of pilot jack broughton 1940 WW2 ............ and Churchill was aluding to the US army that they might not be ready for any future military conflict - the us army tried to counter such allegations and to generate the image of strength; in a highly publisized military exercise in Louisiana between ill trained blue and red forces - one unwanted outcome was concerned a GI from the red force raising a broomstick to simulate a rifle - pointing at a blue GI and shouting 'bang you are dead' - The blue Gi's reply was 'No i'm not - I'm a tank'

says as a member - dual $ 200 / hour plus $ 10 landding fee 🙂 ................

great opportunity there Skip to quote the hourly rate (dual & solo) - 3 aircraft - simple planes - lots of people - rate ?

there is also this system .............. (don't think it is AI ?)

interesting ................ 1st time I have heard of a 'triple control' M.28 Mark III: Three seat trainer with triple controls for two students and one instructor, powered by 150 hp Cirrus Major 3 and with revised wing section. One built (PW937).

............... start of a good idea - theres money involved here ............ so there's going to be some rorting - you could put lots of other things in this category to - imagine the whole neighbourhood going to the supermarket in the falcon with a trailer on the back ......... sound like fun to me - imagine having a depot -m where you wait for a car to take you to your advertised destination - imagine hitching a ride with a pollie when they jet overseas to France - etc

yes - OK - Takeoff - and read back instruction - mentioned in this one

.......... I thought so ?? you can carry a pushbike in a plane ................ BUT ........... these push bike lights - when turned on (a switch) - emit a pulse of light that could / might / maybe detract nesting birds - at night

you could try ? .................. the LED lights that go on push bikes cheap as chips - got 4 for $ 15 from ebay - red - probably get white (if that's not being racist) - charge from a USB I reckon ? they would last a day or 2 without charge good pulse of light at night

I'll assume a couple of the following things - purely in the interest of thread chatter - 24 registered planes and their engines - what happens when the engine becomes time expired * its becoming relevant if you entertain buying a 24 registered plane * or perhaps some other type No registered plane - the MARAP process creates paperwork and a fee - (apart from the cost) ............ the intent is then recorded & probably is a good thing in that everyone can see what the 'go' is - a paperwork trail - MARAP is at least doing the job currently (and I hope in the future) - in the case of the 912 - if Rotax are saying 'no going past engine life' .............. then that must clear Rotax of liability - because of MARAP ..........................who is then now seen as taking this liability - if it's RAA - how can they accept that liability - RAA are not engine manufacturers (or is MARAP comparable to GA 'on condition' and therefore acceptable) ................ And - I don't understand why RAA does not clear the air on this subject - its straight rule interpretation - best to hear it from the horses mouth (irrespective of what the rules may say ......... or not say or whoever says it) - RAA to clarify for all to hear - clearly - loud and clear

originally (I don't know how far back) RAA gleefully accepted all those aircraft registrations and fees ................. guessing engine life was never really considered BUT now its been placed out front and is an issue for aircraft owners MARAP is the mechanism and am not to sure who collects that fee. $ 330 for the MARAP fee seems disproportionate compared to an annual rego fee of say $ 235 ........... ?

apologies skip - I thought the 2 'nn' were in the flight safety thread -........................ I now see it in your subject title ! ..............

'n' lives right next door to 'm' ............ it may not be dyslexia

.............. wierd

a noisy neighbourhood .................... @ + time 3.24

`looks like th green suffered no damage ............................. I wonder if golf continued that day

quiet a low stall spped for suck a big bird - 70 knots (................ no offence you Xair people)

apologies if you have heard this one ............... no joke though Onetracks post above reminds me of the NZ topdressing DC 3's that could take a Bambina or a Mini in the back - also by ramp - for transport of pilot and crew - pilot got off one speeding ticket in the North Island ................. BUT, presumably had to pay the South Island ticket ! (post form NZ web-site below) Was it Gerry Kluck that got two speeding tickets in a day (within the hour I think), one between Blenheim and Woodbourne followed by one from Paraparaumu Airport to the Railway Station. (so engineer could catch train to Palmy)? Magistrate through it out of court as it was thought impossible to get two tickets within three hours in two islands in the same car.

interesting one - tried to message picture to Red - electric - freight over NZ cook straight ?

what height above sea level is that strip ? ..................... perect conditions that day (I am not taking anything away for the skill in landing) ...................... I'd like to see a goo around - touch down and then over the top .................. looks possible ?

................... very ? eloquently put

AI with a big dribble - ME 109 manufacture

I can rember flying aroung Maryborough Qld and a RAAF Hurcules was flying around and landing there ? - they stated Hurcules - positon and intention at at the end said 'caution wake turbulence' ............ a reminder to the unwary

Bl**dy incredible ................ good to hear from an engineer that works on those big birds thats 4500 hours per year for HL 7413 - no pilot could ever clock up those hours (per year) Mr google reckons a 747 burns 14000 ltrs / hour - based on 149000 hours that 2 trillion litres of fuel

all to true - but they got this bird to 92000 hours - there must be something more to this ................ if you got the plane to 92000 hours there must have been an expectation that she was safe to say 95 - 100000 hours which begs the question - what flying aircraft has the most flying hours (might not be something an owner (assuming an airline)) may wish NOT to reveal)
