Flight Safety Australia

[ForkTailedDrKiller]

"Practicing in squally conditions, Brazilian pilot Adilson Kindlemann appeared to stall in a turn. He almost recovered but and crashed tail-low and wings level into the river"

Kinda sets the tone of the whole publication doesn't it!

Dr :8

[maverick22]

You're a moderator now Roxy... well done

[VH-XXX]

It's like the gen-y journalists coming along, get used to it but.

With reference to Lake Eyre P62 Issue 74: "Because the lake is filling from the Cooper, Darling and Warburton Systems.........."

:ugh:

[PA39]

:):) Very good Doc !

Hi Roxy,

In reference to doctor, it is more correctly Doctor.

Are you sure as well as being a pprune moderator, airline terms and conditions expert, budding aerodynamacist and general aviation know it all, you did not write the said article?

All this before you even have a CPL. We expect pretty big things from you in the future :p

[PLovett]

I thought being a Queenslander you would have appreciated a few buts being thrown through the text, Doc. :}

Evidently they don't know about that line of low hills called the Grey Range. (must be a grey area..)

[j3pipercub]

You did kinda ask for that Roxy :)

[das Uber Soldat]

I dunno whats wrong with those words an that. Its like pretty normal how everyone like talks and that but.

[VH-XXX]

Roxy has deleted her post so now nobody knows what her words of wisdom were. Oh well.

[Jabawocky]

Maybe a REAL Mod could put it back up :}

[Worrals in the wilds]

Well, like you know, whatever...:}
The proof reading standard in most modern publications is abysmal. FSA is probably no worse than the average metropolitan newspaper. I know my local paper has several howlers per publication, but what worries me more is the equal number of factual errors, particularly in relation to scientific matters. In one recent article, they inferred that humans and gorillas could cross-breed :eek:.

If you had met my sister in law you would not question such scientific accuracy.

[muddergoose]

I look at the Flight safety publication and liken it to the cost of an aircraft mag at the newsagent, different content maybe but its choice. Costs are offset by advertising so the cost of Flight Safety to CASA is negligible.

I would rather a free WAC, VTC and ERC appropriate to the address CASA hold for me on file and they can put as much paid advertising on the non distraction side as they want. The rest can be online content.

Hmmm, and you know from personal experience that they can't? :E

A dark night! A few bottles of wine! A very affectionate gorilla!

They try with sheep in NZ....

[ollie_a]

I see two potential ways this error could have occurred.

1. A colloquialism managed to find its way into a written article. In my opinion the professional standard of FSA is generally reasonable, and I actually find this unlikely.
2. The writer changed his mind on which conjunction to use and forgot to delete one. I think this is more likely.

The end result is what we call Australians!

Dood, what does that say about your brother :ugh:

Actually it's my wife's sister. Thankfully my wife was adopted, there are some genes which just should not be allowed to propogate.

[dghob]

Then again, I suppose, if you pulled a good looking gorilla it might not be too bad? I interview people every day that fail the knuckle test so we shouldn't go off half cocked saying you & a gorilla couldn't start a family. Smacks of racism to me.

[Counter-rotation]

(Can't resist... :ok:)

Ah, Australia - the WEST ISLAND of NZ :{

Ha Ha Ha

[HarleyD]

Nice one Centurion,

This is by far the most entertaining and informative thread about Flight Safety Australia I have read for ages.

The complete lack of relevance to actual 'safety' topics is exactly the same approach that they have at the editorial/graphic design department at FSA.

HAHAHA

[studentPILOT1]
