Previous Air Ngukurr CP sacked!! Is it true??
 
A rumour that the infamous HE, former CP and founder of Air Ngukurr has been sacked by the CEO. Can this be true??

Is this sacking a result of a certain incident/accident in a chieftain??

Are staff and management finally fed up with this character??

Does anyone know the answers? Or is the rumour incorrect?

Plenty of questions here to be answered.:oh: :confused:

Now that would be a cunning stunt!

So GA Boy, what's the goss?

Cheers, HH.

Yes, they are advertising for a new Chief Pilot, looks like I may be out of a job real soon.:{ But the first post is correct.:ok:

Why did the Chieftan land at the Coconut Grove Beachport? :E

Flaps Down 26th Nov 2004 23:21

Maybe he was hungry, closer to Maccas, maybe wanted to aviod landing charges, may have wanted to do a spot of fishing, maybe suffereing from attention deficit, who knows.

Dj Dave 27th Nov 2004 02:37

Or maybe he didn't want to get ramped on landing:O

Tinpis,

Because the really cool driver was "cruisin for chicks"?

Cheers, HH.

:ok:

Stumpy Dog,

Why would you do that with a PT6...low to high idle or the other way around does nothing in flight.

Guess tinni, the reason why it landed there is thats where it glided to, but I dont know why it started to glide and not fly.

:confused:

swh, it's like this fella:

Forgive me Woomera, for I have sinned!

Woomera, do you think a "confessional" thread would be useful? _Oh Wait! Professional Pilots don't make any mistakes do they?:p

maxgrad 28th Nov 2004 22:34

don't know much about the Bandit but why would you move the condition lever from high to low idle in the circuit when you may need power for goround?
If it was a human factors a/c swap thing ....well that possibly means a fatigue factor great enough to make the pilot unsafe. I imagine the dash (and everything else) in both a/c look very much different, tone of engines, possible handling differences etc.
a huge error methinks.

tinpis 28th Nov 2004 23:39

One would imagine the lack of noise and the very positive nose down pitch after retarding the mixture levers to idle cut-off would give anybody a slight clue as to what was going on.

Woomera, do you think a "confessional" thread would be useful?
Good one Sunfish,

I can see it now:

"Forgive me Woomera for have sinned, it has been 15 years since my last confession, in that time, I have left the pitot cover on, backstabbed most of my workmates, done my PA over the area frequency and drunk 18721 cans of VB"

"For your penance young Howard you'll have to drink more VB and do 3 hail hosties!";)

Cheers, HH.

:ok:
