nice work

MBF too. QUOTE In the end, its the hours that count when it comes to employment. Maybe if you wanted to fly for a certain airline, that required a degree, like Qantas used to be, it could be necessary, but still, its a 3 year degree when you could be earning money and hours in 1.5-2. I think you'll find that Air NZ all but require a degree for employment. As it stands at the moment people without degrees go to the bottom of the pile when it comes to recruitment. Want my source? Air NZ Pilot Recruitment Manager. The BAv degree doesnt only mean you can fly. If you lost your licence / med...

yup, mind you they are pioneers in some respects, a fully composite airframe in that scale would be a whole new untried kettel of fish, just goes to show how airbus had done it pretty well considering with the A380, good luck boeing i really would like to see this bird fly before i am 35.

QUOTE (mfraser @ Aug 2 2009, 03:58 PM) Have you considered the 737 sim at Flight Experience?? Its not quite in the same league as the ANZ sims but still quite good from what I've heard (Although its a little on the expensive side for my taste!!) One of the Waikato Aero Club instructors works at the Hamilton franchise and said that for $1000 you can get the Flight Experience 737 Sim Rating, which gives you lifetime unlimited use of the sim for free - New Zealand wide!! Flight Experience MAT PS - When I start work at Auckland Oceanic I'll be sure to ask if...

Yeah you and I both know which place is superior... /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> Yep got my test in 2 weeks eeeek!

Hmm ok thats true, I think I'll just say that there are 5 airlines flying from NZ to Melbourne from 4 different airports or something along those lines.

QUOTE (SA227 @ Aug 1 2009, 10:23 AM) It's quite possible there was only one winglet, the aircraft are certified to fly with just one. Obviously one winglet is removed for some reason normally because it got damaged but that doesn't prevent the airline operating the aircraft. There will be take off weight and fuel burn penalties. If you go to somewhere like airliners.net you'll find quite a few pictures of aircraft flying with just one winglet. I have never seen in my life an aeroplane flies on one winglet intentionally !? If the winglet is damaged before take off ,...

WOW GOJO , hells ! there are some .. umm ... take me back to the future , look at the tree line at Christchurch airport , the Viscount photos .. the paddocks did give you the feeling you could reach out and touch the southern alps .. today its tree line that surrounds the airport , the C141 .. parted at gate 7/8 or that was what it was then ... funny feeling i was there on a very similar day , or maybe the same , very surprised a Connie was not captured and as for the C124s 1968/69 they had them parked out on the grass out by Avonhead road , one of there last seasons to the ice .

QUOTE (dbcunnz @ Jul 26 2009, 01:42 PM) Pity this government is going to let it go to foreign ownership instead of keeping it NZ owned Thats one let down I guess If I ever go there i'll get one of the top floors and look at the planes /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />

The reason "positive climb" as opposed to climb is used is because it is more than one syllable as Chairman has said. surley you are familiar with the phonetic alphabet, used on radios on air, ground and sea. The phonetic alphabet's purpose is to make letter easier to understand (B,C,D,E,G,P,T,V,Zee all sound similar so longer, easier to interpret words are used like bravo, charlie, delta). Using two words makes it easier to understand what is being said. It would be confusing if the pilot thought the first captain had said "Lime" "Chime" or...

Have just added a folder of photos from the visit to my website.

QUOTE (A185F @ Jul 23 2009, 01:48 PM) And they still do fly to westport thank you very much !! Twice a day to/from wellys and twice a day to/from chch on mondays and fridays. Err, yes. Got slightly confused. I meant to write Paraparaumu.

Another sad day for NZ aviation. Seems way too many lately. Condolences to family and friends. RIP

QUOTE (BK-117 @ Jul 17 2009, 10:53 PM) I really like the 767 with the winglets, I think it looks pretty cool. Not sure about the koru either tho.. Yes indeed It looks much better then before

Nope sadly not
