Air ambulance reaping solo benefits Taranaki Air Ambulance is moving onward and upward after cutting ties with the stricken New Plymouth Aero Club last year, say its principals.

I haven't done the IOTC, but I have completed recruit course. From what I hear IOTC is recruit course crammed into 7 weeks, plus 7 weeks of officer specific training.. or something along those lines. The best tip I can offer with the PT is practice doing the pushups after a run, make sure you can still do 30+ when you are exhausted from running. Oh, and during PT... don't fidget, don't move unless they tell you to. Squat pulses hurt.

Fun discussion going on, I lernt quite a bit, thanks guys /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif /> I prefer virtual bullets personally /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif /> 770,000 shots fired in BF3 online!

QUOTE (Area51 @ Apr 26 2013,8:41 PM) Is it from the cockpits of King Air MKG, PA31 Mojave WTH and 146-200 ECO? Very nicely done. The Norfolk departure looks interesting, as does the morning arrival at Auckland. Thanks for sharing. I could not tell since i'm from Area51 /winkyy.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= ;) border= 0 alt= winkyy.gif />

Here are some pics of them doing it with a Dash 8 in Nelson - I'v always wondered why they turn around and around! Photos taken in 2009 - Excuse the pics as they were taken with a point & shoot camera

Seem's it the in thing to be hit by lightning in the last couple days .. two farmers around the Cambridge region got zapped survived and walk , they put it down to them waring gumby's ... a horse also got Zapped on one oft the same farms and was killed .... Moral of the story ... the horse should have been waring gumboots .

QUOTE (Ben @ Apr 14 2013,8:52 AM) He ran out of Fuel on take off! OPPS! I can confirm that is WAS NOT the case. The engine failed as they went to make a third touch and go (out of nowhere - no issues/rough running before hand) Knowing both the instructor and student very well, what they did was an incredible piece of airmanship, decision making and pure pilot ability. In fact, the instructor was still briefing the student as he was making the forced landing (almost as though they were simulating it)

Hells Bells .. I'm well motivated for the aviation world ... how come they have not selected me yet ... or am i to left for the last show /rolleyes.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :rolleyes: border= 0 alt= rolleyes.gif />

Ridiculous waste of tax payers money! We as a country will never move forward if we keep giving into absolute B..S... such as this. On the lighter side i find it funny that they fined him basically a dollar a meter! /biggrin.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :D border= 0 alt= biggrin.gif />

QUOTE (Chairman @ Apr 7 2013,3:19 PM) What it didn't mention is that if I was hearing things correctly there were actually two turnouts to the airport this morning - the first was to the package, the second was to a 737-300 with 3 POB and a dead engine. Sounds sorta familiar .......... Affirm, the 733 was -FXT on a test flight after maintenance. Right hand engine shut down at FL360.

You dont tend to see that on anything but two bladed systems

You don't think it might be your landings that are so expert, they don't know which way to lean? (Yes, the Discus does fall over)

Thanks Andy , That Raptor is Screaming for combat ...

QUOTE (Trolly @ Mar 28 2013,4:08 PM) This story seems fishy- I find it really difficult to believe he mistook a heavily industrialized main road for a runway, especially considering this students instructor considered his flying to be adequate enough to be sent solo from Hamilton. The solo sign-out process isn't the best, and considering a student has gotten lost overhead Cambridge on a nav flight before.... I wouldn't be surprised to be honest. But I doubt he was as low as 3m... maybe 30m? But probably not even that!

A lecturer of mine during groundschool used to work for him, told us all about it. Certainly not a good look!

Now I want to work there too! /laugh.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :lol: border= 0 alt= laugh.gif />

QUOTE (SA227 @ Mar 20 2013,7:34 PM) It should be flying Thursday I think as well. They are currently certifying the EGPWS so will be low level around the Coromandel weather permitting. I do have some photos of the avionics but they are huge files so once I get a chance to shrink them down a bit and work out how to post them you can have a look. /smile.gif style= vertical-align:middle emoid= :) border= 0 alt= smile.gif />
