The Book
I have obviously been too dismissive of the book in question. That was not actually my intention.
I just meant I’m not in a position to read it right now. I’m sure it is a good read and a valuable tome.
I should also point out I haven’t flown the Hawk T1 for over ten years so I am not so concerned by T1 procedures.
The Hawk T2, with the SPFH shroud and the pins caption along with the gas system, addresses most of the issues being discussed here.
It is also worth remembering I am an operator not a policy man and in-depth discussions of airworthiness are not my area of expertise. I can assure you though that if I was concerned about the safety of my aircraft I would not strap into it. Thus far that has not been a problem.
