    ALL GA instructors hold a Vald CPL or above. Some special conversions to type can be done by a PPL holder, when specifically authorised by the CASA. It never goes RAAus to GA. Some concern about Low inertia recency has been voiced from time to time, and it would be sensible if you haven flown one for a while (particularly a T/W type) some time with an instructor would be a safe approach.

    You have Cause and Effect reversed. Don't shoot ME . I'm only the messenger. You are very good at dishing it out BrendAn. I'm usually not that Long winded and Maybe a Bit too terse for some but No-one is Perfect. The stuff I've had to put up with. No one should have to, and I have Justifiably reacted at times. Skippy, I've never made out I have a Monopoly on Knowledge But I do Have considerable experience in a lot of things I write about and when I do I know I'm putting myself up before a wide audience many of whom would JUST love to bring me down a Peg or two. I have NO way of Knowing what you People Know, Do I. It's NOT a Pissing contest as far as I'm concerned. Isn't it reasonable that having had a fortune spent on my training I Should give something back to the Industry? Most of it is about safety (How Boring). Better to make a Joke about everything and everyone. When a Joke has a VICTIM It's NOT a Joke especially when it's Slander and character assassination. Nev, the resident Lefty.

    It's not problematical all with engine failures. unless you Jump the Gun and react too quickly. If you are a positive rudder person you will be keeping the Plane straight and an engine Failure just adds another force to the equation, and the reaction to it is no different in Principle to a gust of wind .The quickest reaction time is Called for at a failure at V1 situation. . Engine (total) failure is a Big Imbalance requiring a lot of rudder to be applied, sometimes nearly all of it, at that stage of the flight. On a Largish Commercial Jet .the imbalance can be 60,000. Horsepower and the Planes Weight 250 tonnes. A control Malfunction us something else. If sensed before V1 abort the Take off.,. Nev

    And it took you 10 days to come up with that response on the topic of Landing fees, which IS starting to resemble "Blue Hills "OR "the Never Ending Story". Nev

    It's an engine failure then is it? . Nev

    With a C/S prop the revs won't change at all. A torquemeter is a good indication. How the Plane is performing should be enough also. With a conventional twin there will be a lot of yaw. The rule is Push the Ball to the centre with the rudder Pedal. then dead foot, dead engine identifies and you fly above Vmc(a).. and feather it to achieve the Book Performance Nev

    While good ergonomics are very desirable your digital comparisons are not that Valid to an aircraft Panel control situation where a lot of things are ON/OFF or Up/Down. Not keyed in. Thankfully. Nev

    True but a lot of stuff has to be accessible from both seats. Nev

    Properly maintained, that (35 Years) is not Old. Pilatus are a well regarded Builder. Nev.

    There's no CVR. Nev

    You will never make a fool proof Plane . Fools use such ingenuity. Panel Space is at a premium on such Planes. IF you are endorsed on it you should know it thoroughly or be very careful before pushing buttons. In fact double check when involved with any critical control of anything, but PARTICULARLY an aircraft where there is NO room for error. . Nev

    Duel means a fight, by the way. Dual means two of. Nev
  15. facthunter
    Other than the Pilot. There might have been something lost in the translation there. Nev
  16. facthunter
    Do you mean DUAL? Nev

    Cross that bridge when you come to it.. Your entitlement to it is more important at this stage. . Nev

    Leaving a Part out should have No time limitations. Any secondary damage to the gearbox or motor caused as a result of it should be covered also.. A motor supplied in that state is not fit for purpose. Nev

    Why is a Nude beach such a big deal? the story was about an aeroplane Landing after an engine failure. If MY making that Point that was the worst thing that's Happened to you, you would be getting off very lightly here. There are 2 Parts to this Forum one More about Aircraft than the social one. I'm only asking for a bit of self discipline to be applied from people who should have it. Nev

    I have No idea where you are going, BrendAn. Apparently all gloves OFF is OK when it's Me. I tell it Like it IS and in as few words as is Needed. Not in riddles I've tried asking you nicely. That's a complete waste of time. Nev

    You wouldn't know Me from a bar of soap Peter and there's NO way I will ever respect you after the unrestrained spray against me, you've Just Indulged your self in.. Nev

    You say that all the time but still support what amounts to defamation and character assassination. I'm ENTITLED to defend Myself and let me assure you I will continue to do so. . I have that right surely. . The section you were in is where serious things get discussed .Start a new topic about nude beaches is that is your thing. It DID remind me of the giggly way we talked of such things is Sixth class so I thought it Might strike a chord with a few People. Anyhow the Overreaction is typical when it's Me involved. I'll defend MY reputation from the sort of thing peter g has just said because It's unwarranted, Nasty, and should NOT be encouraged. Nev

    They charge enough for their Product. Leaving bits out is not good enough. Nev

    Non pilot is not correct, but I haven.t worried about it as I didn't think it was Important enough to do anything about. What I hate is RUDE people like you who have no idea about being decent to other people on this forum entails .You should be ashamed of yourself, peter g. So also the two who think it funny. It's Not as there is a victim. You are also a coward as you would not say it to My face. It' only the last 5 years or so Behaviour like yours Here has started to ruin this Forum. THINK about it. You are ALSO miles off topic. It has nothing at all to do with Darwin Beach Landing, On an aged Pension things like flying a Plane are generally well out of my reach but I mix with a lot of active and very experienced pilots { none of whom would treat me as you have CHOSEN to do...

    I've seen quite a few Avid flyers. Competent if somewhat cramped, planes. There would still be a place for them moreso If Rotax hadn't discontinued those Motors.Nev
