    Looks as though it has retracted. Normally Gear pins are inserted till an operating crew are at the controls to Prevent inadvertent retraction, Nev

    Yeah Moorabbin is a complex Place but you are in and out.. It's not like flying where VFR cannot . Flying at 480Kts, if you are getting lost you are getting Lost Fast. I flew in and out of Bankston for ages. Almost the same deal. VFR in simple Planes. Flying into Mascot from there requires a clearance and slot before takeoff, and if you stuff it up and send a Jumbo around you will be may be up for quite a few dollars and Make the headlines and DO your Licence..Nev

    With Auto feather, it's locked out once one engine has been feathered. This type of aircraft should easily fly on ONE engine if operated at the required Weights. Doing things at rapid speed invites wrong actions. Nev

    That's a BS shot at Me walrus. It's impossible to now what you don't know by definition . When you've done it come back and we will talk about it. Turbo and I have different approaches to this game About 80% of my total Flying is was in CTA.. Nev

    re the Kg's wts All the USA built Planes had the weights in Lbs and to 500 or 1000 Lbs, When converted to Kgs they ended up all sorts of hard to remember figures. Nev

    Electric Fences can be solar Powered with it's own small Battery. Most animals hate even a small electric shock. Nev

    Understand your Plane before you start Playing engine failures. Always "confirm" correct switch Before Moving it and it's Purpose/ action. You should also know the Quick restart procedure. Turbo Props not feathered can create a lot of drag. That's why they Have Auto-feather. Nev

    I suggest Acrylic Lacquer. Less likely to chip and easy to touch up compared to 2 Pack. . You can also do it in sections. Overlaps Blend in. Over a thin etch prime. Watch for dust . Nev

    Subject to Notam, PRD zones are activated. Nothing to do with Landing fees. Nev

    A Piper twin Comanche is 3725 Lbs AUW. A Navajo Chieftan is 7055 Lbs . Nev

    You shouldn't have to Look up Council sites Not all aerodromes are Managed by Council's. Councils use Avdata as it ensures they get some Money at less cost and effort than to do it themselves so they take the easy way out, which can result in you Having to Prove It wasn't you, which is frustrating and time consuming as they will not just accept your word for it. They are another Nail in the coffin of Private flying. Nev

    I have Absolutely no Idea what a KFC Bucket looks like. Is it an exam question? Nev

    There's NO Limit on this topic. The real issue is why are we forced to do Business through this Intermediary at all? It's in a MONOPOLY Position with a very Questionable Accuracy record, over a long period of time using methods that encourage dangerous practices and behaviour and add significant costs to the FEE for the item, in question..Nev

    Cleveland is the Brand......... Rivets can score the discs. Aluminium is better than brass in that respect if you use rivets, I suggest Bonding is better. If the brakes are similar to the Ones that were on My Citabria , the Brakes are very effective . It's how you use the brakes that decides how long they last and make sure they release fully. You Might have to service them just to make sure that is Happening. Nev

    The Main occasion where you have to wait a while is When you change the Oil in an upright Motor where you pour the Oil via the Rocker cover, and always recheck it to allow the Filter Qty to be catered for.. If the filter can be filled before fitting, all the better.. Nev

    People who don't change oil are cheapskate Drongo's. Bad oil will ruin the Best of engines, making them unreliable in the Meantime. Modern oils are More specific in their applications than was previously the Case..

    It's called a Multicrew Licence. Nev

    You'd have a bit of trouble getting it Back on VH. That was generally considered a one way trip. Nev
