Re: Norseman on Railway Tracks
AAh the Redditt Legion. Quite a few aircraft got flown in there. Sometimes you can still find Ken Race in there.

Re: Norseman on Railway Tracks
Liquid Charlie`s right, skis off ,wheels on ,no brakes. I once saw Wings Aviation`s Otter (HKA?) flown by Clyde Coons land from the west ,instead of hitting the tracks, ground looped to the north and hit a parked Dornier DO 28.

Re: beaver hourly operating costs?
letsfly wrote:The most recent numbers I have are for the Piston Beaver on floats only, which includes:
Fuel, Insurance, Prop, Engine and Pilot @ $355.00 per hour.
It could vary somewhat based on wages, fuel cost and prop manufacturer.

When I did the exam I didn`t have a paper copy or computer for the cars, it was done from memory. Know your ops manual inside out for the interview.

Re: Why Transport doesn't like externals
