    'TO' being an airstrip ............. be rest assured gravity will take care of the rest I think this is a factor of the conversation (where is that &!@@^% plane on finals)
  2. johnm
    Agree poteroo ...... no flaps till final..................then slip and / or flap Assuming some 'S' turns on final are still socially acceptable as well (if nothing following) Equally you could be 10 miles from your strip cruising ar 1000 ft and all this - gliding - counts for naught

    I dream of the day I can fly a plane ...................... with carb heat birddog (not all ultralights have carb heat)

    why did the yanks bother with a B17 that took say 3 or 4 tons to berlin ............. when a mossie could take 2 tons with a minimum of fuss ?

    good to see the planes but they should stick to the plane itself, there's enough subject matter there ....................... rather than waffling on that hitler had one leg shorter than the other (there's a lot of space filled up by archive footage)

    Legislators often use the term .................... 'that the new legislation is not retrospective' - all that goes before is not considered - all that happens from now - changes

    The days of the A380 look numbered I thought the A380 was going thru some financial stress ? The dreamliner 787 had a battery issue ................ all solved apparently How Boeing fixed the 787 Dreamliner - Geek.com

    interesting how clear air turbulence (CAT) could be used to gain compo ................. I thought CAT was unpredictable I guess if in CAT, you were wearing your seatbelt, the seat fixings broke and you got an injury you'd have a chance at compo I can only guess that the chance of compo payment is a rare thing (or a good well kept secret)
  14. johnm
    I would of thought; since we circulate in aviation circles that any / some compo payments to passengers would be common knowledge / or at least discussed ............ be good to see some examples of payment (if you're going to climb into a tube and fly at 300 knots with extendable wheels and a pot of hot coffee ......... there are some known risks before you buy the ticket)

    I'm no expert but google says 2.5 to 3 mW wind turbine will produce 6,000,000 ! kWhrs per year @ 8 cents = $ 480,000 p annum ! (its a wonder they can make any money at all)
  18. johnm
    probably not your land I'd guess - power Co would have a lease over it and they'd do any track / fence improvements
  19. johnm
    $6 to $ 8k per annum per turbine for rent - ATO probably would like some of the income as tax though
  20. johnm
    ......... quiet serious A judge would have to make allownces for a level of acceptable unknowns - decmpression - turbulence - flat tyres ? I was merely asking if anyone had some examples of $ and circumstances of payment from airlines (its probably all a very well kept secret) ....... reading legal blurb from a solicitors website might be a drag
  21. johnm
    thanks Alf ........w'ell see if anyone has heard of compo with such events ?
  22. johnm
    interesting comment Alf do you think there'd be actual compo paid for the passengers stressful event ? (I mean actual - not the guff about litigious world, spec legal action etc) .................... these events would have happened before - compo actually paid ?
  23. johnm
    wow ....... they all survived ! .............. lucky

    The only thing rec aviation has an advantage in ............. compared to other flying ....... is simplicity and ease of regulation (some might scoff at all that) If you got a car license you are medically OK to do some cheap ? Flying Gliding maybe also .......... I can't think of anything better to promote the sport than that Maybe we are in a doldrum cycle - we just need another good old fashioned economic boom (theres always one of those just around the corner !)

    All clubs, professions and groups want new blood I think people have been saying it for lifetimes ............... Its just the way it is
