yep means the aircraft is being moved off track or given further descent and the controller is using the radar terrain map of the area to provide separation from the hard stuff. :)

Darn didn't see or hear anything.

Go and read the thread on pprune that Brock has in the 3rd post of this thread... it covers a lot of this material and even mentions the pitch tendancies of the aircraft... Ah, overlooked that, cheers.

Hehe :P yea i use Avgas in my rally car Its not too much more than 96, 98 pump gas.

So techincally speaking. A cockpit intrusion seems possible, would they have any undercover cops etc on the plane like in the US? I dont think its as easy as you think... See my earlier posts. Air Marshalls are not on NZ flights yet as far as I know. Last year they were talking about getting them, Im not sure whats happened since then...

I knew a friend that owned one of the R22's in Westland which he used for many jobs. They are good machines.

The primary restriction is the Land Clear clause of Rule 5: An aircraft flying over a congested area of a city town or settlement shall not fly below such height as will permit, in the event of a power unit failure, the aircraft to land clear of the congested area. . This effectively limits flights over central London to twins and helicopters (which are exempt from the land clear rule). HOWEVER the big star-shaped restricted area (R160) applies Land Clear to helicopters. As you can see, the eastern side of the city is inside the London City CTR (class D), and the west side is inside the...

Wellington Flight Centre A question for you. Being such a small fleet of 3 or so planes, Do you do much flying and when do you fly? :plane: :thumbup:

Imagine a 747 doing that?

Hecks .. another add , I forgot that one :) come on paul were are some old ANZ and Wings of the Nation adds :P

That's a beauty, although I must say I'm still a fan of the Northland Emergency Trust's Sikorsky myself... <_<

There was a 50 knot wind between Nelson and paraparam today at altitude I believe, would've been a good time to have a go B-)

The advanced calculator lets you choose the aircraft type.

if i remember rightly, sir george seymour training college has brought this in for their cabin crew training, apparently Hmm, I know someone there, I could ask her if she knows what's happening with it.

I have a thing for the f-22 ever since I saw some documentary about it on sky. And I also like the f-35

Well yes I suppose that's true; but I'm sure you see my point, if it's a choice between building cheap housing to get some of the homeless people off the streets or keeping a 1950s bomber in a displayable condition it's not going to be much of a contest.

Flew with them to Thailand at Christmas 2005 and found them to be rather good. Liked the food and great in-flight entertainment system. The staff were very friendly and pleasent. Not as much leg-room as the 747 (we were on the A340), but it was still okay for me (I'm 172cm tall) but according to the purser, there were some complaints about the leg room, particualry from those transferring from a 747. I would fly with them again and rate them alongside Singapore Air as my two favourite carriers to date.

Wait unitll the 787's GENEX :drool:

Awesome!!! Nice job :P

Good shots there. Where were you taking those from? Looks to me like he was parked on the side of Pound Road, just past where the bend in the road is as it goes around runway 29. You should've gone into the aero club and taken pics from the upstairs lounge/balcony there, you get a view straight across from the control tower and you can see the whole airport :lol:
