Runway deliniations are rounded of to A magnetic reference. Magnetic variation changes and is different at most Places.. Nev

It could also be a bird strike, Something like A pelican would go right through the Windscreen. Nev

With cowl flaps and exhaust augmentation only poor operation will cause an engine over heat. Mine (VH-LLV) was turbo charged from the factory when I got it. It also had an oxygen system for flying over the Rockies in the USA. It flew to here as well, across the Pacific. Some Navajo's got cooked but always by operator error.. It can be a high workload in a light Piston engined twin. Nev

I knew John Cole and Monkton wrote a book called "Boats I Flew". A good read. .Nev

In the early days the 'graveyard Spiral' killed just as Many. The first thing in such situations is 'Spin OR Spiral'? The correct response is completely different. As far as it goes, that Mil Training film is OK, but there's a lot more to it and Different Aircraft Behave a lot differently. You must know the Plane you are in. (and have enough height). Nev

I have "time" in a link but it's all in a context. Modern sims save Lives by allowing you to do things which if done in the real thing, run a significant risk of being fatal. They are so good that Info from a Flight data recorder entered into their intel can work out exactly what the real plane flew like in a crash situation, but they cost more than what a smaller plane would cost to operate. WW2 training casualties were about 17% and they also FAILED the Bottom 10% on each course. Too bad if you got on a Course of Geniuses.. Nev

Doesn't take much to find it, does it? it's the only mob that can have a go at CASA. etc. Aircraft Owners and Pilot's Association. RAAus is compromised. Nev

It would give you a leg to stand on, or you could RUN for Office.? Nev

IF it's 'never ending' , There's no rush to do anything, either. Risks are involved. A 'Fit of pique' may result, or at the other extreme, you might get hooked for eternity. Nev

A full motion simulator will cost 1,000 's of dollars/hr of operations. It's designed to do emergency Procedures where doing it in a Plane used to get People killed. You need to be securely strapped in or you can get injuries. Its for ONE type of Plane ONLY IF it's Part of a Conversion to a type process.. There's usually about 6 sessions of four Hours Plus One 4 Hour test all as a crew. After that you jump in the real thing and fly it.. Google Map can help you plan a flight to places you are not familiar with.. You are in the Hands of your Instructor so to speak. Work with Him/Her. Nev

I don't seem to be able to enlarge that plus the Maker of the Best brand stated only OK to just over 13000 feet. I used to regularly go to Lae from Moresby at FL180 unpressurised. You need to know what you are doing. Quite a few People have come to grief.. It had a mask with a diluter demand system, including a Microphone. Nev

They certainly need to be kept away from. Nev

More speed more floating ,shallower approach. Flaps are put there for Landing. Gives better view over the Nose. Slippery planes need flaps more. It's 120 Kts Cruise. Nev

They CAN float a fair way IF your approach is fast and the idle speed is a bit high. React early if runway length is limited. In gusty conditions active throttle is the Only way to touch down precisely where you want to. and if you're TOO slow hit that throttle. It's also normal to not have quite enough back trim when you start the flare so be aware of that . I Like the J 230. They are not a bad thing. Nev

I've also just spent 40 Minutes looking for Oxygen info on the CASA site you listyed and much more,. so perhaps you could give more precise information just where it is? Nev
