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?

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 />

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

A very sweet looking machine. It seems to handle very well and is a steal at US$180K.

It probably appears that it is solidly attached but it will be the master rod that you are observing. The other Conrods are called articulating rods and they attach to the base flanges of the master rod. It’s because you can’t have all of the conrods attached to the same crank journal individually (there is only one crank journal).

Yes, I mentioned on Facebook that if there's a small consolation it's that it's in the right place to get repaired at least!

Thanks Mike, didn't realise the Stealth Bomber would be noisy! I guess if you have the radar cross section of a small turkey it doesn't matter :) I used to have Caribous flying up my street at 500' AGL . Just a memory now, it's a solar panel farm these days How cool... and what a result

I've seen photos of old propliners transporting cattle in South America and they actually removed the passenger doors altogether and flew with them open. Only an option if you don't need pressurization of course! That is very interesting. Makes me wonder if DC-8-63F was going to cruise at 10,000 ft???? Anyway, the take off of DC-8 showed the doors closed Regards, Aharon

Well if it is up to me as Air New Zealand pilot, I would have .... what makes you think it was ever up to the Pilot, especially given it wasn't an emergency? I'd bet it was a pre-arranged commercial instruction

Was just watching the girls at Hagley Oval yesty while we did the quality checks on the homebrew. No wonder Marty stayed in. I don't mind the heat, but the humidity is a killer, specially here, 90km inland, where we don't usually get it. ATB Mike
