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 />

I tried to get the DVD of the 2018 show - my last visit to NZ - but while the shop says it is available, the videos page says WoverW can no longer supply DVDs. So I'll just have to wait until they transfer them all to the cloud, to be downloaded.

BTW, England used Eurostat train from London to Paris via special underground Channel tunnel cross the Channel for the British Olympic team Regards, Aharon

Years ago, a friend copped one of those monster tea trolleys on the kneecap in turbulence, which convinced me that seatbelts are not optional. Incredible that many seated passengers still do not buckle up 100% of the time, especially in the tropics. I've started to get angry at people who get up, stand in the isle next to me while I'm seated waiting for the bog... while the seatbelt light is on. Flight attendants do nothing about it either up here. I flew the day after the Singapore airlines incident and people were still totally clueless. I refuse to get out of the way if the person next to...

Lindstrim, Thanks for your answer and my apologies to you for very late reply. Did not notice your answer before. I am totally surprised that A320s and A320NEOs have HUD display! Regards, Aharon

Further my above comments: This's what might have evolved for TEAL/AIR NZ .... had dice rolled the other way than came to pass .... TEAL COMET IV AIR NEW ZEALAND VC10 & B707-320B ADV AND .... what might have also evolved under similarly dictating circumstances in the case of NZNAC too .... NZNAC BAC ONE-ELEVEN 400 NZNAC DC-9-10 "HISTORY" .... of the type that could have unfolded but never eventuated :) Mark C AKL/NZ

There were three all doing the same thing. I managed to catch a glimpse of it just after takeoff at work yesterday. Great shots though. I believe that a handful are being kept in service for a couple more years as the KC-46 takes over from the KC-135R...but it's still too young to be retired.

No idea but I'm a sucker for lunchtime Google Earth trips: EGGW/QAIA/VIDP/KLIA/YPDN/YBBN/NZAA Charl, Exactly my thoughts which is why I am asking where for specific route and specific info on where did Brittana Airways 737-200 make refuel stopovers during the delivery trip from England to New Zealand!! This would create great opportunity for any flight simmer to recreate the historic route in most realistic manner for that delivery flight! Regards, Aharon

which B732 model are they for? I believe it is 732 model base by Kittyhawk founded by Erick Cantu the same person who founded Vistaliners creating 727s, L1011s, and 737-300s/400s/500s. exciting stuff re the new 732 models and liveries :clap: Not new models as it is 732 model base by Kittyhawk founded by Erick Cantu BUT there are lots of new airline liveries that were never painted before. Tony Madge painted LOTS LOTS LOTS of all new Air Zealand and NAC liveries that were never painted before!! no doubt an announcement inbound shortly from Mark, exciting stuff re the new 732 models and...

Shalom and greetings all my pals, Pete Ham, who is real life New Zealand pilot, is very very kind to take time from his busy schedule to look for his IRF charts from the past and found IRF charts for NZMC Mount Cook airport as seen below. Problem solved!! He said that doing an IFR approach to Mount Cook required a Glentanner/Mount Cook VOR/DME approach to MDA then proceed VFR 15.7nm to Mount Cook, or a Pukaki VOR/DME approach to MDA then proceed VFR 28nm to Mount Cook Regards, Aharon
