    6 day working week and compulsory overtime and covering Approach and Ground Control Movements at the same time. Also NO vehicle should cross an active Runway without Visual confirmation of runway being CLEAR. . It's being blamed on Overwork due to cost cutting and understaffing by You Know who. Investigation underway. 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.

    That Aircraft has Auto feather and should cope with an engine failure. It wouldn't have any black boxes as it's not required to. 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

    A disciplined Experienced Pilot doesn't cut corners. Employers like people with experience. Cowboys go somewhere else. Nev

    Touched down a bit short. Submarine approach They need a lot of runway. Nev

    Some aircraft will exceed VNE , turbulence Penetration, Flap extension speed limits in Level flight at WOT. With any descent It will compound the Problem. With a fixed pitch Prop is May easily overspeed the Motor. If this is Likely shutting down the Motor is the Only way to avoid it. Risks are too high otherwise BUT you can Pick the Point where you do this, and do it wisely. Starting some engines on full throttle is Unlikely to succeed. Your main task is to successfully do an engine out landing and that's not rocket science. It's a good question to consider .It could happen. . Nev

    That will make it run hotter. How can you manage a motor at low level and descending on WOT? (full Power) It will capture all of your attention trying to Manage it when you should be flying the Plane. I'd get over a Large field and shut it down by turning the fuel off. Nev

    I certainly would NOT be doing that. . Nev

    Perhaps , but rust makes things expand and it should show something if you measure the OD carefully... Cables should be Protected by application of a protective grease. which also stops wear around pulleys (which you Must inspect as well as tension). They are usually canvas reinforced Bakelite with small ball bearings and a metal strap that doesn't allow the cable to come off. Nev

    Sorry I've never seen coloured Pitch Levers that I can recall if that's what you are referring to. So far the concern has been about Max cruise "continuous" POWER. Introducing a CSU is or an in flight variable pitch complicates things a bit . The POH would Have MP/ RPM relationship limits. Level gives MP at WOT then adjust the RPM to what you need and see as optimum for continued flight. WOT on a supercharged engine is a good thing for efficiency. Nev
