Hi Guys, I'm just about to sit my cpl air law (helicopter) exam in a week. I've read through pretty much all the legislation - rules and AIP - and the only thing that is missing is doing some practice exams. Waypoints will have some mock exams available in a month or so but that's a bit late for me. Does anyone have some copies of prac exams (and answers if you have them) sitting around? I'd be soooooooo appreciative. Post or a reply or private message if you can help me out? I've been flying for a while overseas and know so well how exams are half about exam technique - and how well prac...

QUOTE (towerguy @ Jan 10 2009, 01:32 AM) I think it would be pretty close to say that if it comes from ATC either written or verbal then its magnetic and if it comes from MET then it's mostly bullsh!t ... er True. Exactly, very good way of summing up the NZ MET system /tongue.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :P border= 0 alt= tongue.gif /> Airways always seems to get it right /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

Upcoming technology for Airliners and aircraft is something which extends the aircrafts range. This also enables fighter jets to cruise using much less fuel. The technology involves something new for the engine which means it can operate with more power while the engines are not burning fuel or have the fuel cut off completely. This new technology is DECS COMPATIBLE.

The CH53K looks like an awesome aircraft to fly. Their simulators look good but it does not yet have HOLO FIELD.

I was at Omaka and saw ZK-NVY tip over. It was quite a windy day which made for some super STOL activity. I doubt some of the STOL landings will be beaten in a hurry, and The only time I have seen an aircraft fly backwards! After NVY tipped over they ended the competition.

I should clarify, it goes through Max Q because it goes supersonic. Main engines are throttled down prior to going supersonic to reduce aerodynamic stress. I overheard them mention that here: It seems as though someone has added something to the script that the Commentary is announcing that supports this statement but! Was it this guy who did it NATAL? was it for NATAL's Day? So when someone mentions something like that I wonder and then I need to take a closer look at who is it that has a CHATEL over THROTLEUP? As dumb as it sounds because it sounds as if it is for NATAL's Day and he is a...

This post was started as New Non Stop Service but has now been taken over by algorithm which is totally another subject altogether and apers to be creating some friction between members so I have now locked this post If SUBS17 wants to start another post on algorithm he can and if you other guys want to discuss the new non stop service I suggest you start another post on it also but keep the two subject separate.

"I hope they look after her." was my polite way of saying what you have both mentioned. The last time I was down there, the outside exhibits were nothing more than sad. The Loadstar "flew the coup" was a rotting mess. Even some of the inside aircraft were in a sad state... birds pecking through the fabric etc.

There are two Boing VC-25's in the video but there can never be two Air Force Ones. Air Force One is the call sign for the aircraft carrying the President of USA at the time, regardless of aircraft type. Unless the Lizard overlords have cloned the president, there is only one POTUS. Not only that but how many Boeing 747's are there of that type! So Presidents aside does the United States of America have a spare 747 of that type? I can tell you it is two from somewhere else. :plane: I'd consider this Histories Air Force one as most likely to be the most high tech out of all of them though....

There is new technology coming for the LC130 including AUTO-PILOT, HIGHLY ACCURATE NAVIGATION SYSTEM and new radios that use SATELLITE MICROWAVE BROADBAND INTERNET. New Helmets with Helmet mounted displays. The future is good for the C130.
