[Aus-soaring] Off topic, but I know a number of recipients are commercial pilots, so....

http://www.smh.com.au/business/aviation/runway-overruns-happen-quite-often-qatar-airways-ceo-akbar-al-baker-20151210-glkzi6.html

Wondering if it's a case of poor/overwhelmed ATC at certain airfields, or
airport design, or pilots being too busy/under pressure and making
mistakes, or?


And of course over-runs happen with gliders too - with sometime tragic
consequences

Re: [Aus-soaring] JANUARY ISSUE - GLIDING INTERNATIONAL

[Nelson Handcock]

Don't know if it would be similar, but these new fangled HUD thingys are
far from ideal if my experience is anything to go by

Some bright spark at Mitsubishi decided to put the reversing camera display
embedded in the rear view mirror in my 4WD. (Earlier models would have had
it in the dashboard console). I have found it very easy to miss things in
the mirror because you become focussed on what the camera image is showing,
and I personally have found it quite difficult to re-focus on the bigger
picture. I reckon the constant re-focussing would be quite tiring too after
a while.

Would be interested in hearing what other people might have experienced
with HUD -type helmets, etc

Reading through all the comments on vimeo, the author mentions that he's
flying a G103, and you can hear conversation under the music in a couple of
places so I think the video is being recorded by a front-seat passenger.

Re: [Aus-soaring] Training booking system and process

[Nelson Handcock]

There is an online system that seems quite flexible - I've recently started
to use it for a volunteer group I am involved in.

www.signupgenius.com

The functionality in the free version is pretty good - you can certainly
use most of it - some reporting options are not available until you stump
up the cash, and there is a limit to the number of emails you can send each
month.


hope this helps...

Thanks & Regards,

Nelson Handcock

[Aus-soaring] Avalon wrap up?

[Nelson Handcock]

Would love to see some comments about Avalon Airshow from a Gliding
community perspective. I assume there were at least some static displays. I
hope they went well, etc...



I hope Johan Gustafsson was able to do his thing and that is was well
received?



Thanks & Regards,
