Expect to meet a bunch of us in person over time, especially at airshows /smile.gif style=...

Yeah, I remember when it first arrived. I think the aircraft was perfectly serviceable and they were trying to get a permit to fly the thing. Government or whoever, wouldn't have a bar of it due to the fact it could fly faster than the airforce Cessnas... I mean Skyhawks /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />

Didnt think they were supposed to broadcast streakers now days /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

Syncop8r , I do have a complete flight training manual thanks to the Air Force World , i have to source another book out at the moment , the Tech side of the type , really they are very simple , dang impressive for the period . Ill see what i can dig up on NZ964 , go from there .

Thank goodness everyone is safe. Aircraft was ZK-NGD. Source: Reply 115

Twin engined .. wonder who the lucky test pilot will be - /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif /> .. Hells! with both the big boats out side , it would be the best time to take a few thousand d/photos .. every position/angle and detail .

I guess like you said, Air NZ would have done there research, will be good to see the future changes happen... haven't landed at NZPP yet, though we were planning a south island trip this weekend via PP though weather isn't too flash so not this weekend.. Weather's been good here - you could have always come this far and stayed for the weekend! /smile.gif...

And hot off the press, Multi-Lateration is now operational in Queenstown......... "Queenstown MLat went live on the 2nd of August. The NZQN MLat system represents a significant deployment for the aviation industry, and consists of six interrogators, 14 receivers and 3 retrans sites, all networked back to a cental processor in NZQN Tower."

As long as t he guy is sober and not high when he gets behind the controls of the plane I really dont give a hoot how much he drinks or tokes up off duty. Last I checked we all have a right to lead our own lives and make our own choices... Mind you I laugh when I think about a flight back from Sydney I had. Met the Captain at duty free buying 2 40's of whiskey, said he was having a party tonight and flying to Honolulu the next day. mI was relieved to hear he was a passenger for that flight lol

Great video, thanks for sharing. /thumbup1.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :thumbup: border= 0 alt= thumbup1.gif />

What a waste of more good lives. The sad thing is, the technology that would help prevent these types of tragedies (ADS-B) is here now, but everyone is bickering about the cost of installation among other things. I know they always default back to "it's the pilot's responsibility to see and be seen" but the repeat pattern clearly suggests that talk alone is not enough.

/ohmy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :o border= 0 alt= ohmy.gif /> wow....look at that chute...only 3 /4 open and almost on the deck. Also just saw a clip on CNN....Looks like she was doing that high aoa pass the hornets do ....and got too slow (just my observation) bloody lucky.....thanks Timmo

Marty , i was,t going to put a list for 'HercFeend' it could start at authors , anything by Roger Freeman , Jerry Scutts , Norman Franks , the huge Schiff Military Collection , course NZ book other than already mentioned , authors Richard Waugh and Tony Phillips , I away,s have a good search at the local tech book shop .

I, in a sense, told the CAA in the covering letter with my license application that I wasn't doing their test ......... As I already held a JAR PPL I'd met the requirements - they didn't question my argument.

Depending on the depth available for mounting the ANR module, we can offer either the standard kit or the low clearance kit. I will post the depth required for each kit shortly. Since the C9073 is a David Clark clone, the safe bet would be our low clearance model. More specs will be available on our new ANR kits website shortly. Regards, Darin DM Electronics QUOTE (Syncop8r @ Jun 16 2010, 11:08 AM) Hmmm I wonder if it would fit my Altronics C9073 headset as it appears to be a David Clark clone.
