  1. Some questionable claims made there. 2 Millionths of an inch tolerance and GAPPING a GLOW Plug??? No sign of any Machinery capable of the accuracy Claims Made either. Grinding and Lapping get those Fits. Cox's small engine sizes might have also Played a Part in Loss of Market. They weren't especially High Quality either.. The crankcases were Made from an extruded aluminium section, Not a casting. All designed for Mass Production and Low cost. Nev
  2. Called "scud running" and was never safe Nev.
  3. We really have Lost it from where we once were. Shame. Nev
  4. If you want to Investigate the unfairness of strict Liability look up Australian Law Reform Commission. nev
  5. I did NOT tell you the problem does not exist, You Twist what I say. and Probably don't even read it carefully. either. If something's unclear you only have to ask. Nev
  6. You are talking to a Person with thousands of Hours of Instrument flying who has 100's of Instrument Flying checks. I have NEVER lost Control of an aeroplane in VMC OR IMC conditions and have has also taught Instrument flying . Just what are you trying to do here? You have consistently chucked Muck at Me and I've Had enough of it. Nev
  7. Grow Up. I'm reacting to you and have tried to give you good GEN all along.. Seems like I've been wasting my time and I don't like doing that. Nev
  8. Unlikely as It's the FIRST and MOST Important thing they are taught to do. Also don't rely on JUST ONE instrument. Nev
  9. Oh How Nice! I reply when I think I might Be of assistance in general Ask RAAus They are YOUR target not Necessarily Mine. PS try being a little LESS RUDE. It's not good for the site. Nev
  10. It only Happens to other Pilots. Flying in cloud is easy. Everyone Knows which WAY down IS. What Piece of Paper you hold is not important .IF you aren't trained and in good shape fully Prepared and recent you have a Good chance just dying and taking others with you, needlessly. Some People just won't be told anything. They are destined to find out the HARD way. Nev
  11. How is that MY job? You are the One running the story. I don't even know IF they are. Nev
  12. That rule applies to anyone who is not current. With RAAus you have to Be paid up as a Member and comply with the other 2 as any pilot does. Nev
  13. It will only work IF you can see them. Nev
  14. Which to follow, you have to be in VFR conditions. Nev
  15. Specifically Being required to operate under a system Of "Strict Liability" By CASA No Lawyer would like that. Nev
  16. I was referring to something Worse than signing the RAAus document that Pilots have to cop. Nev
  17. It's in Legalise English. Only Lawyers can understand it. Nev
  18. Individuals feel Powerless and they pretty much ARE unless they can get together for a common cause. RAAus is unable to ruffle CASA's feathers because it is dependent on CASA for it's existence in law. Aviation has been dissected into Various bits often antagonistic to each other over turf the rule over. This weakens the existence of a common voice. Various groups have less certainty of a future they have had a say in.. WE have gone backwards in the Last 25 years. Nev
  19. It's so easy to stand back and criticise, but WHAT IF everybody did it. ? Nev
  20. You maybe haven't experienced Flying in the top end in the wet. You need weather radar and Believe it or not Anti Icing if you flew above say, FL180. Darwin is the Place to experience thunder and lightning, preferably from the Ground. The Intertropic convergence zone on the Way to East TIMOR can be some of the most extreme weather you will ever encounter with Cb Tops to 60,000 feet like a wall of Green ice to look at. Planes Have disappeared without trace there.. Nev
  21. We have Gone Backwards at a great rate of knots since the Days of AUF The Empire builders took over. Remember "the NEW GA". THAT Was Never going to Work. Nev
