    Still Happens . Boeing blamed the Pilots for the planes crashing that were grounded, eventually. Read "Fate is the Hunter" The anti-icing on the DC4- C54 is near useless in certain conditions. I found that out the Hard way. Nev

    The NAME Sperry appears on a lot of early Nav equipment. Gyros have a Property called "Rigitidity in Space" but they Do Precess and have to be slaved to a steadying reference or reset manually. A rate turn Indicator Must Have a gyro. Electronic ones measure how much an electron beam is deflected. Early stuff was Vacuum powered from an external Venturi later superseded by and EDVP. (Engine driven). Nev

    A landing aircraft doesn't go onto Surface Movements Control till IT is clear of the runway, so would have had no knowledge of the Fire trucks movements on the radio at all. Nev

    Thanks Peter. This forum is also not what it was. It's not a suitable place to have a serious discussion anymore .My main emphasis is safety related. It is also very clear that some of my critics don't even read my entire Posts, They just look for Gotcha Moments to put the Boot in and go Personal. I don't see this forum as some sort of contest. It should also allow a wide range of ideas but be prepared to defend anything that is dangerous or just wrong that can't be Just ignored. I also don't write Long Posts because people lose Interest. Nev

    I've never ever used the ignore function. You are Not forced to read everything. If you don't agree with what is written Refute it with Facts rather than attack the person. I'll answer tor anything I write.. Nev

    I have plenty of time on many and varied basic U/L Planes instructing etc and am very keen to continue to support it.. A plane is a Plane. Good airmanship is required across the Board or you are temporary.. If enough People do the wrong thing it won't help the Movement.. Nev
