bloody amazing for his age - a true adventure - great item for the job resume

can you get a rating on it Phil ................. what's the hourly charge out rate ?

nice work on 9.5 hrs ab3198

never much tecnam chatter so good to see some skyranger2

there are a few on here that own / fly / flown this type ........................ so ask some ...................... and see what you get

......................... stay around a while Rodair

no lines on road - do not overtake unless safe

still don't reckon it makes sense / logic to me - there are many km's of road with no line marking ..................... (no sign disclaimer there)

ROAD SIGN - 'no lines on road - do not overtake unless safe'

.............................. implies to me - if lines are on road - you can overtake if unsafe

good luck .................. and go get 'em Don

as said before - get passenger to participate .............................. good one is visual outside - if you see something (bird, plane, etc) indicate / point it out

ensure they know how to access fresh air vents so they can adjust

......................................... more tea Vicar ?

there should have been some grandstand seating inside the hangar - there'd be plenty that would pay ........ just sign a simple disclaimer and off you go

Confucius say:

you live in Longreach where land flat as a pancake .......... driving no help

you live on hill, driving will help as more gravity management required ........... (assuming gearbox used [not many drivers] not brake pedal [most drivers])

Ironically forums such as this (this forum) .......................... will become even more valued and important in conveying information

Pennies from heaven Ian (Ian the forum owner) ................... pennies from heaven

I don't think it matters much how many hours it takes someone going solo - it maybe not even the measure of the student - it could be the measure of the instructor (congrats Aldo 8.9 hours to solo ! great stuff) - and I don't think any student will drag their knuckles on the ground reading this either)

I think students getting into this zone would like to know about these aspects ?

............. the other day I went for my first fly in 2 months ! (wind, work, wages) - I thought at the time it was just like going solo all over again

17.5 ! hours to solo; 30 + years ago and I did n't care the least - have enjoyed every bit of it .............

the same forensic scientist doing that recommended study could 'muderously !' drive home ...................... and take out any number of cane toads, dingoes, snakes, locusts, bees, cockroaches, worms, rats, mice, kangaroos, wallabies, rabbits, flies, sandflies and any other number of god's creatures ........................ who checks the checker ?

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found

Traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that

Their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American

Archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story

Published in the New York Times: "American archaeologists, finding traces of

250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an

Advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the

British".

One week later, Australia's Northern Territory Times, reported the

Following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Tennant Creek, Northern

Territory, aboriginal Billi Bunji, a self-taught archaeologist, reported

That he found absolutely bugger-all.

Billi has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already

Gone to wireless."...

................. did that flight ever land at all ?

.............. if so, which runway did they finally lay some rubber on ?

yes good idea Turbo

................... where there is a fair chance it was an error - leave out the details that identify the person, plane, place and accident location. We need to hear things we can all learn from

can we get some video of that Phil .................. I'd like to see the flare at the landings (or at least the 3 wheel ground contact low flying technique)

condolences to the Pavans, friends & associates

......... hoping we can hear some cause answers to this event

........ I disagree .............. thank god for a democracy

I think if pilots wear a nappy they exempt themselves from going to the toilet - and I'd suspect some probably do anyway - who knows (they have all worn them before anyway)

If there was a fill in person on the A320 tragedy .................. this entire thread may not of even of been posted

hangar I'm in has hinged doors - built more than 20 years - see attached

hinges are simple bolt connections

doors latch at top to roof frame - drop bolts for each door to slab - each set of 2 doors has a jokey wheel at centre hinge with a concrete track - simple, not many moving parts - antiquated, old an remarkably reliable

a terrible incident & with all respect to the living ................ this could well be a murder suicide (if the reported facts are true) - the pilot murdered 150 persons - as some other articles state, there should be a way where the passengers can be protected from that small percentage of rouge pilots (as well as vicki versa)

option 1: toilet in cockpit

option 2: drinks trolley that converts to battering ram

option 3: electrified pilot seats controlled by 1st class passengers (if no 1st class than row 13)

option 4: duress button in cabin - aircraft then coverts to fly by wire - pilots are then redundant on flight

option 5: ................
