    Above 8/8ths Cloud is not VFR compliant . With single engined ops over water it's nice to have max glide available and Island hop. Over steep sloped heavily timbered country it could take ages to even find what's left of you. In Desert in summer without water you won't last one day. Nev

    Identify and following other Planes has difficulties even in broad daylight. The most reliable separation at close quarters is vertical . Nev

    In a lot of these I'd say Familiarity Breeds contempt. Unless you're on centrelines and the other things are where they SHOULD be you can Make Headlines easily. A tug can't stop an big plane easily either. No way should you you be moving fast.. Nev

    They are Overseas occurrences and not necessarilly detached. Interesting how they Make that engine Look about 4 times the size it actually is. Nev

    That s OK. A spin is like being stuck to the inside of a descending rotating cylinder and the speed doesn't build up no matter how long you are in it. It Hit the ground FAST straight on the Nose. Developed spins are usually flatter the longer you are in them. I don't think anyone was controlling that Plane. Nev

    The tow Bar actually turns the nosewheel, which can pivot 90 degrees. Nev

    They are always in a hurry. They were good on the Nullarbor . Passed my veteran Indian over the Centreline and gave me the whole lane. I tried to make it easy for them too. .Nev

    They Hook onto the Nosewheels and have limited strength. I can't recall any other incident where it came unhooked A TAA DC 9 that should have been disconnected but wasn't went under the Aerobridge at Tullamarine. damaging the cockpit area. Nev

    Towbar became disconnected I believe.. Probably no one in the aircraft. Nev
