Flaming Toilet Rolls
Great story on ABC Radio about the RFDS QLD crew landing in north west Queensland last night, with the aid of toilet roll's soaked in petrol.
Nice work by all concerned!

Flaming toilet rolls? Wouldn't that set the smoke detectors off?
I suppose they would need to land after that.

I dunno, can't find anything in the reg's about flaming toilet roll runway lights anywhere. Must be something somewhere.
Does the RFDS have a spec for flaming toilet rolls?
Do they have procedures in their manual for flaming toilet rolls.
Is there an MEL for flaming roll failure?
Does their part C have a requirement for flaming toilet roll approach flight reviews?

They would need to be 3 ply for optimum visibility on approach.
Also, does it matter which way you lay them like when you put them in the holder at home?

We most certainly need to know the brand of toilet tissue that ensures the most favourable lighting level, and the longest burn time. 
Then that brand name will need to be inserted into air regulations, to ensure that sub-standard varieties are not substituted.
I trust the appropriate authorities will also now enquire as to whether the toilet roll positioners had airside passes, and if not, why not? And did those toilet roll positioners have the necessary training and qualifications and hi-viz clothing, to ensure that the toilet rolls were correctly and safely positioned? The ramifications are huge, if even one of the positioners failed any of the above requirements.

I wish I'd read this earlier. I look pretty ridiculous without my eyebrows!
