    wear tidy clothes but make sure one piece of apparel has damage (a corner of a pocket torn, belt frayed, neck tie 'off centre', one lens fogged, one dark blue sock - one black; etc) .............. if you are up to scratch this could generate a critical sympathy factor that might get you in the front door ......................... to the base of the slippery pole good luck in any interview cfm56

    Obvious question XP503 - but curious ............... how does this person enter the hangar - if the hangar is lockable can't the entry point be made more secure .................... redo locks and reissue new controlled keys (prevention might be cheaper than bait)

    why is it that an ultralight aeroplane is probably a more sophisticated platform (on average ? ....................... cost wise anyway) than a UAV ..................... but a commercial operation is allowed only in UAV is this decision 'sub' or 'ob' - jective ?

    could be the difference is at the beginning you try and figure whats in front of you and go for it ........................ and the other - when older - is you reflect on 'what the hell was that all about'

    Thanks Maj Facthunters comment is a good reminder - like a master plan - do we have such a mechanism (policeies or master plan) to know in what direction we are going and priority of issues (so everyone can see ?) ........... or is that well outlines in the GM's duites ? (as you say)

    Don't know much about this organisational stuff ..................... and I'm guessing the GM's salary is a big secret Let's say the GM is paid $ 140k + expenses Why not empoy more than 1 of them - it would be costly but in the scheme of things RAA needs continuity in the GM position I suspect that after every year or so (or less) when the positon becomes vacant ............... the potential for achievement is lost and the whole thing winds down, starts all over again and reverts back to the most urgent issue

    who knows where MH370 is or why its there any theory is worth considering we don't have too many options at this stage the best we have is a auto submerged computer looking for aluminium in potential sludge 3 miles below water level if the 777 hit the water (or suffered some other fate in the ocean) ................ this does not explain why there was no debris finding ANY debris will be helpful

    nothings free .......................... someone always pays (know what you mean though)

    none have ISIC cards

    sounds low at the threshold - probably a peripheral digger or a digger from a blind spot

    I always find it a hoot that each time you get a new card you have to prove who you are ..................... this logic infers that your existing card is not satisfactory evidence to confirm that you are ................... you in other words the legislator does not even recognise their own card as satisfactory ID which then implies to me that even the legislator considers them worthless

    the following is advice from a pilot - not an instructor - you must speak to your instructor .................. with instructor (and the stalls) fly around slow with a notch of flap (if you have flaps) - there is no harm in this - it is good approach and fly down the strip in this configuration and see what that feels like (if the instructor is not breaking any rules of course)

    I have no need to defend media outlets or journalists GG & FH ........ if the person that created this thread (hhelgesen) was a journalist you might be kicked out of the 'flat earth society !'

    Don't know much about them strange whirly things ............ so in the interests of a ding dong are there any helicopter pilots out there that would refute either or both statement a) & b) a) If the wings are travelling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter - and therefore unsafe b) If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to
  17. johnm
    Be objective ................ you (some) can't generalise and imply ALL media outlets and journalists are unreliable If any think that ................ you should join the 'flat earth society'

    Confuscious say: rules & regs - forgiveness can sometimes be easier to obtain than permission rules & regs - it would not be nearly so complicated if there was no money involved
  19. johnm
    Yes KG - in Qld the rule was where you had town water your new house had to have a 5000 ltr tank for toilets and laundry I think it was for energy efficiency and also to remove some 'peak' load from reticulated water supplies This rule stayed in effect for say 2 or 3 years and now has been repealed So if you build a new house now - this requirement is now not required or built (this might not be fso or some Councils) You probably can now plumb your toilet and laundry back to town water - get rid of the pump ................. no questions asked ............. I'd guess

    Hello Keith, He is my answers Cairns is further west than Charlevillew .......................... I'm gunna establich the veracity of that statement Daz - using a map of oz

    Bruce .................... waiting for you to take centre stage for some info when it's sorted - assuming there is lots of activity in the wings !

    wikipedia says Skyfox Gazelle was introdiced 1989 ......... using a published building construction index (probably not that appropriate !) if you had $ 127 in 1989 then that would be worth $ 271 271 / 127 = 2.13 $ 72 k x 2.13 = $ 153 k .............. crikey - give or take a few bob

    if you search the newspaper articles you will read that the chopper pilot and the rigger were looking at each other and each was in difficulty trying to communicate what should be done (can't recall about radio com) - what was done was argued in some sort of forum / hearing My GUESS would be: I don't think the pilot or the rigger thought it through ................ I'd guess if the pilot has his time again then he would of flown above the lift so that the cable was tight and then released ? ..................... probably would have been less damage - if anything at all

    ------------ it's a bit more complicated than that you can read the report (think this is it) ..................... its in NZ language - hope this link does the trick: http://www.caa.govt.nz/Accidents_and_Incidents/Accident_Reports/zk-hig_final_rep.pdf
