There is now a video of our class on youtube. It was a bit on the fly so don't get annoyed at some of the terms used.

I got a chance to have a go on them on air force experience. I got bored not doing anything cool so I attempted a stall turn and didnt have enough altitude and ended up ploughing into the ground nose first sad.gif



i also couldn't figure out why the throttles wouldnt work. they used the mixture levers as throttle dry.gif

It is interesting from some of your comments that I seem to have met a few of you, either at the Ohakea open day or through visits to Woodbourne. Through BIOS and other updates, the system is quite a bit more reliable now. Also, when being used for training, the aircraft doesn't often leave the ground. Shame but more effective for our lessons to work.

2fst4u, I think I know you... (not dodgy if anyone thinks that!)

Anyways it looks like a good set up they've got there...

Isn't it evident?? Boeing are my favourite aircraft.

P.S. that's is my real birthday but I wish to keep my real age secret to keep you all pondering.

I was the SGT in the class when you came through. There were some keen people in there wanting to do more than just follow VOR needles

SGT Pommy? An odd way to describe him. No, I was the guy tinkering in there. Your group got to use the system. The other two groups just had a look but no touching.

haha, when we first met him he said "you can call me pommy" and we couldnt remember his real name after that. i was the one that asked if we could have a go tongue.gif lucky i asked because we were the only group to not get a ride with 3SQN sad.gif

No, Pilots have their own gear to use. The last 10% of accuracy takes 90% of the budget. The system we use covers most of our training needs for communications, Navigation and Instruments.

Wow! Just over 3 years to get a reply smile.gif
Remember the 50-50-90 rule. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong!
