Check Pilot 339 - What was I thinking!

So I am sat, siting, my backside strapped to an aircraft I have never flown, with a 2 stoke engine, a type  I have trusted to fly me around the UK, but this one has spent the winter in an open-ended barn. The aircraft is loved by the owner, but not the sort of love that extends to keeping it in a reassuring cosmetic condition;) The ground is 1800feet below me and I am getting a kicking from then termal's that is already keeping me very busy and this is the point at which I have to execute flight test Stalls. Straight ahead stalls, left banked 30 degree, right banked 30 degree and I am wondering what on earth am I doing this for? 

The stalls go to plan, a nice straight forward stall break and nose drop into a mush, the banked stalls are a little more difficult to execute only because the ride is so rough that keeping the aircraft banked at 30 degrees is a challenge, one moment its 30 then 60 then level. after three attempts the exercise is over, and just the VNE dive to execute power off dive to the left and we get as close as I dare to the VNE (Velocity NEVER exceed) all the results noted on my map board and I can relax and fly the aircraft for a while, just enjoying its difference. 

So why did I sign up for this? Was it for the phone calls from pilots asking if I would do the flight test without the necessary paperwork (tsh!), certainly not for the financial reward, I left the day £20 quid down on my costs. This is a labour of love, a commitment to the sport to help other pilots with then necessary paperwork. Was it to help a friend how has shouldered all of the burden for the club over the last years? That was the initial motivation for sure, but I note my motivations have changed.

I found asking friends for money for my services more difficult than I anticipated, which surprised me, but I have to say the financial elements were never a motivation and based on this weekend wont be! I was surprised at how fickle, folk could be with my time, I will have to learn how to manage that to sure. So what does it bring? A degree of cudos, and when I reflect on the 4 Check flights of the weekend nearly 2 hours of flying 3 different types is an opportunity I would not ordinarily have had, but the most surprising and enjoyable part for me was the genuine thanks I received from those who trusted me to fly there aircraft, kept their side of the arrangement, and took time to listen to my observations, I found that humbling and rewarding, I look forward to flying for them again. 

9mph - 120mph Almost Backward..

What a hour in the air today.....the forecast was not looking good, but boy oh boy at around mid day the sky brightened the winds dropped to a gentle breeze may be 10mph max directly down then strip.

Checking the wether for a short trip to the isles of wight threw up a few odd readings on the my Airbox weather chart (?) On the deck it was 5 -10mph, Roy was finishing his hanger, and yet it was showing 30knots weather symbols, another look at the milky sky it was inviting. Taxi and Take off all normal, but as I climbed to 1000 feet (about 35seconds) The ground stopped! flying toward Hayling Seafront, at the stall I managed to get down to 9mph ;-) Not quite the flying backward I wanted, that ambition would have to wait! 

The air was warm and very smooth, from take off all the way up to 2k, but the wind gradient was on of the most dramatic I have experienced, great fun playing with the 120mph downwind, 9mph upwind speeds, and not a bump in the sky oh coastal flying!  

No 339 - Check Pilot - It is a good year!

2013 is shaping up to be a great year, already! Here is the latest line in great news, my application and test to become a check pilot has been approved, makes me think I am add one or two other qualifications to the licence  lets see  ;-) Now my first check flight.....

Commemorative Games Maker Relay Baton

Not every Games Maker had feet on the street, but we all helped to make the Olympics fun & a little safer. I still cant tell you what we did, but its was fun ;-) I shall cherish this, and pop my story inside of it for you to read in 25 years! 

It is a Games Maker Relay Race Baton, with a short note from Sebastian, now is that a real signature! 

Wing Pass - 2013 Is going to be a good....

The new test requires an increased pull load from 6kg per strand to 9kg per strand, I had fully expected my permit include having to replace the wing fabric but great news! passes the standard betts test and the new trailing edge increase, what a great relief! The flying gods are with me this year....

Spit!

Lancaster Lucky!

I can't tell you much, if anything, about how we came, as a group of Microlight Pilots, to be stood in front of a Lancaster after our VIP tour of the Battle of Britain Flight. However, if it was you on that small airfield, unable to fly this summer I can say it was more than likely we met once before. As VIP guests we allowed to walk up-to, touch, breath and feel the history of these fine Aircraft, and what a highlight of 2012, these war machines are magnificence and to be this close was very significant, a feeling that one was reaching back able to communicate with what had been before. As flying machines these are basic, they have all the wires, string, some fabric and dope too (Mr Dell's - Hurricane). 

To say this was the highlight of 2012 is not true, it was a fine second to the mission we flew, which was defiantly No1 and will be for a long while to come. To be invited was a honour, to fly was a once in a lifetime experience, and to have the opportunity to see the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in such close proximity was a childhood dream. Wow I am solo looking forward to the 2013 Season! 

  

Sadness

Scot killed in Thai microlight tragedy as he scattered ashes of close friend

By Stephen White  |  19 Nov 2012 00:01

A SCOTS microlight instructor has died after his aircraft plunged into the Gulf of Thailand while 
he and a passenger were scattering the ashes of a friend.

Award-winning pilot Tom Grieve, 57, was flying above Pattaya Bay on Saturday afternoon when his machine appeared to lose power.

Tom tried to make an emergency landing but the aircraft clipped a pier poll and crashed into the water.

Tom, who is believed to be from ­Lanarkshire, died in hospital from chest injuries while his passenger Patrick Esser, from Lyme Regis, Dorset, broke his arm.

Speaking from the Pattaya Memorial Hospital, 100 miles east of Bangkok, Patrick, 31, recalled the tragedy.

He said: "I was making a tribute to my best friend when suddenly things went terribly wrong.

"My friend Stuart Long had died of throat cancer, aged just 41, and we were about to scatter his ashes in the sea.

"I had done a rehearsal flight the previous day with Tom and everything went fine.

"We were at about 2000ft when the engine cut. Tom tried several times to start it but failed.

"He was gliding it down and aiming for a large piece of concrete to land on. We must have been going about 70 miles per hour when we clipped ­something.

"We went head over heels and crashed into the water upside down."

 

Other friends waiting below on boats saw the microlight hit a newly constructed pier before going under the water.

Khun Prichar, who saw the crash, said the GT450 microlight circled three times before smoke started coming from the engine and it fell into the sea.

Patrick added: "I managed to get out and started looking for Tom then I saw him surface.

"He seemed okay but was in some pain.

"We were taken straight for hospital and I asked him on the way if he was okay.

"He did not reply. But he looked okay.

"In the hospital, medical staff desperately tried to give him ­resuscitation but failed.

"They told me he had internal injuries in his chest."

A Pattaya-based blogger called Mike described Tom as "a very ­experienced instructor". He added: "I know this area well and it is a bad place for an engine failure since there's nowhere to go.

"A number of the deceased's friends were waiting in boats to witness their late friend's final send-off and I guess Tom was under a degree of pressure to go ahead and fly the mission."

The cause of the crash is not yet known but the blogger claimed: "According to eyewitnesses and Tom's passenger, Tom turned-off the engine in order to drop the ashes.

"It would seem the engine was turned off at a low height, some say below 500ft.

"After dropping the ashes, Tom attempted to re-start the engine without success.

"At this point, the ­eyewitness reports say he was very low/slow and banked to avoid colliding with the hill.

"The trike then 'spiralled' into one of the concrete pilings that were sticking out of the water."

 

Tom, formerly a member of the Connel Flying Club in Oban, who lived in Pattaya, was an ­experienced pilot who had received two major awards for outstanding airmanship.

The former petrochemical industry technician was well known in the ­Highlands, where he flew the "Dawn to Dusk" – taking off and landing at every inhabited island in the Orkney group in one day.

He received an award from the Duke of Edinburgh for the feat.

Tom also made the first microlight flight across the North Sea, from Shetland to Norway, and won the Steve Hunt Award in 1977 for circumnavigating Australia anti-clockwise. John ­MacGilvray, was chief flying instructor of Connel Gliding Club when Tom was a member.

John 79, said: "He was a regular visiting pilot here for about five years and for a while he was here every weekend.

"He was connected to the Connel Flying Club for about five years and then he left for Thailand about 12 to15 years ago.

"He had been out to Thailand on a couple of holidays and then, all of a sudden, he decided to join a friend who had moved there. The friend had tried to set up as a microlight instructor but couldn't because of the legislation."

Another ­microlighting pal Les Hodgson said: "What sad news.

"A very persuasive bloke and great fun to be around.

"Tom was one of the real characters in microlighting, a real adventurer, and will be missed by all those who knew him."

Eddie Cartwright said: "RIP Tom. You were a fantastic person, genuine, and always had lots on enthusiasm. You will be missed by everyone who met you."

Thai authorities are probing the crash and local media in the country reported that weather conditions were a factor.

The SYNOPSIS of the Incident Report:

The aircraft departed Charleroi Airport on a scheduled flight to Stanstead, UK. Shortly after take
off the First Officer noted that the Captain had leaned to one side and did  not  respond  to
prompting.  Realising that the Captain was incapacitated the First Officer advised Brussels ATC
that he had a pilot incapacitation problem and  requested a return to the departure airfield,
Charleroi.  An Emergency was declared.

Flight Though Cloud - France hmmm

Farway Common

So nice to be back at Farway Common for the first time this year.

Catching up with dear friend and looking thought the logbook offers some perspective, I see my first flight here was on 06-00-2003, just over 9 years ago.

A lot had change, with more change on the Horizon.

To close for comfort!

Take a look and tell me when you can see the other aircraft for the first time from the timing on then video, be honest!

Landing, A great photo, movement, colour with friends as content. Wonderful, simply had to share it! Inspires me to mend soon!

My last thought

This is a picture of my spine, for those of you that know what your looking at, its L2 or Lumber 2 that has a compression fracture. Ouch! After falling backwards off a scaffold onto my backside, I was doing 19mph at impact and the force was around 18g running up the spine which is why L2 is a little busted! I know your impressed with the numbers, alas I can't claim I know these I simply supplied the data to be entered into the formula by my Father in Law Barry, who was a Physics Teacher. 

People have asked what was going though my mind on the way down, well I don't know, I recall slipping, the rest is a blank, the next I know was the pain running through my body like a the noise of a MIG21 taking off, Afterburners on, its all consuming. 

Sitting in the Hospital, thinking about the fall from 10 feet and how much it hurt (s) my mind flips over the flying scenarios, your slowed to 60mph on finals, coming down from circuit heights 1000 feet up, controlling the touch down to be gentle kiss. What happens if you get it very wrong? 10 foot hurts so much, Well 10 foot and 19mph. Perhaps for the first time I am thinking about how much it would hurt falling out of the sky any considerable distance? Would it hurt at all? I guess the trick is to fall so far that there is no waking, falling not far enough would be a disaster. Suddenly I can see why 20mph is a good idea in built up areas, and why doing 40 in a thirty is such a bad idea. 

I am told that the bones will be knitting together in 6 week, which is when Fly France 2012 starts! Here's hoping for any advice that will speed the knitting of the bone? If you have any do let me have it! 

And finally, if your wondering how many bits of my body I can get scanned or X-rayed and posted here, I sincerely hope this is the last! 

UPDATE - October 2012: I did not make Fly France 2012, which was just as well as they ended up in Scotland! The 6 week time frame is only to keep one going, I was hardly moving at 6 weeks, but to hear the news that in another 6 you will be able to walk was a relief, I am still taking painkillers every day, but I am up and about and as you can see from the rest of the blog flying and doing well. 2012 will be a year to forget for me, its time to press ahead! 

At Last! An end to Carb Icing..

On two occasions in my flying I have had bad carb icing, not only does it effect the engine, it stresses the heart too! I will let the good, the great and the brave test the new ECU for a few years before I invest....however, this is a no brainer for me! Even if mine, via the photo evidence on this blog proves that I have one and it goes all the way to the sides ;-)

The Brain of a Microlight Pilot!

I have to do this.....

Fight or Flight

One of my friends called it a cross between a Flex wing and an Invaidcarrage. Others spent hours on the stand wondering of they could see the benefit of spending £48k (yes that's forty eight thousand pounds) on Bill's latest flex wing Microlight.

It strikes me that its a machine looking for a market, it does allot of neat stuff! And yes its streamlined, but at a cost....6 hex nuts to be able to take the overhead off to drop the wing, no front strut in the way, but two other uprights on the edge of the screens equal to two struts! Its big in side, but has little in the way of "Stash" room. OK OK, i am overcritical! I would need to fly it to enjoy the benefits of a better ride in the back, the adjustable seats, the speed 115mph! So may be I should reserve judgement, before I liken it to the Sinclare C5, which was a great idea, looking for a market.

It will fly for 8 hours on one tank! one chap told me, and he went on to say that when your traveling to say, the south of France, one could stop on route for a pee and not have to fill up with fuel, is that worth £48k? There are pumps at most French fields (Merci Total!) and so scarcity of fuel might not be a benefit...hum, so what does it do for me? A Sports Flex wing Pilot? A Flagpole Flyer who likes tours and trips?

So why did his machine receive such. A luke warm reception? Surly it's the latest innovation, well no, this design has been done to death in other markets, but cannot be imported, so its not a new idea! Did they just run out of "New" ideas?

I left the flying show like so many other simply not knowing. Maybe when I have flown it my view will change, whens the sales tour coming to the south?

Now they also launched the QuikR - Explorer, which seems to be the ultimate R! New roll characteristic's , new wheel size, topless rigging....actually for me, that was the unsung hero of this flying show.

Cycle Power - Trophy or Bust!

The Wing Span on this bad boy is 25 Meters Tip to Tip, it has 7 sections and is powered by the Pilots peddle power! This is a man on a mission, and I was a man on the wing tip, jogging (I am not kidding) along side until it was airborne, It flew maybe 100 yards and was the most amazing thing I have ever helped to fly! The wings strengthened and braced with a single piano wire! And the whole machine has a weight of 30kg!

Devonshire Mornings!

Steve Sebastian

Sandra called tonight, do you know, I could tell in her voice straight away, it was that same voice that I heard on the 18th January 2010. It just wasn't the same usual Sandra voice, something had changed, and it wasn’t good. I was sitting talking to Charlotte and the kids, and so leaping up I left the room to take the call. We exchanged small talk about today’s flying about the fly ins and still I could hear it in the tone, hear Sandra trying to find then silence, I knew within a few moments of "hello" this was a call I didn’t want to take, and I filled those seconds with an exchange to stall that moment. Eventually, the silence came, Sandra asked, did I know?

I purchased my first Quik from Steve, G-CCHH was a fine aircraft, although it had tried to have its way with Steve who ended up in the field after all the oil spewed out of a poor pipe connector. I needed straps to get HH home and  I still owe him the £15. The every time we met the joke was that as I had sold CCHH to another friend, it was now he that owed Steve the £15 quid!

Steve I will miss you. I will miss your chaotic self, I will miss your legendary shaving skills and I will be thinking of your Wife and Daughter.

Wait with Martin for us will you? We won’t be long behind.

Thorney 2011 - Fly in

Jons - Low Hours Tour this coming weekend!

Friday Night

What joy it is to fly after a stressful day at the office! Tonight was about flying in shorts and a hoodie, and hour and a half floating around the sandbars of the Solent, practice forced landings around the fields of Sussex and Hampshire, blowing off the stress of a failed deal. I spent today listening to Lawyer Lie to me about why he failed to complete a contract, which cost me the value of a good family holiday, in place of simply accepting it's his fault, he dropped the ball.. My recourse? Well plenty, I might take him to the Ombudsman, or take him to court, it is unfortunate for him that I know the other party, and therefore have both sides of the story.

However, Gentlemen don't sue each other, they take life on the chin, forgive and go flying.

Listen to the Wind....

Weathered in at St Omer the welcome could not be better or the winds worse. I am sitting here listening to the hanger doors rattle in the 35 - 45 mph winds. Certainly not flying weather, so we brew 3 in 1 from Kenco and look again at the weather maps, synoptics and forecast for the days ahead.

There is a relative "lull" down to 15- 25 mph winds tomorrow, with no significant weather and so that is our chance to cross the channel and make it home. Tonight it's a waiting game with little to do save for contemplate what tomorrow will bring.

The great news is that I shall be home tomorrow regardless!!! If the weather does not play ball we will simply slip onto the ferry and borrow another favoir from one of our long suffering friends or relatives and ask them to pick us up.

Being stuck is an odd mix of expectation, frustration and time to think.

I have fueled for a 4 hour Flint home! That same flight usually takes 2 hours, And in 20 minutes I shall start to pack the trike before dinner.....and beer ro two and a night on the hanger floor! Deep joy.

As for now the coffee tastes good and Kim Wild is on the radio taking me back 25 years, what happy years they have been.

Microlight Tumble - Brian Searle

Mont Blanc

By 0915 we were working our way up Mont Blanc, above the snow line and at 10 12 thousand feet the wings, engines and propellers struggle with the thin air. The sight of the glaciers and the sheer relative size of the mountain demand respect.

Morning Megeve - off to fly Mont Blanc

Camping at Megeve

Cloud Forming

This is the cloud forming as the air runs up the slop caused by the sun heating the side of the mountain in the morning, the air of the opposite face of the valley is in the shade and air is rushing down.

Merible

Waking this morning after the excellent weather of the last few days, we are greeted with more sun low winds, todays plan was a relatively short flight of 48 miles visiting

Meribel
La Rossier
Megeve

This shot of Meribel is taken on the approach of 159 degrees to hook around to down wind. After the Altislope of yesterday these Tarmac Altiports seem a little low rent! Although the technique to land is opposite of a traditional landing in many ways. One Must only land if the wind is from behind or uphill in the direction of landing, we must keep the power on all the way down and plan to land on the very end of the lowest section of the runway. Take off's are always down hill!

First flight of the day

Heading toward L'Alps D'Huez for our first altiports of the day I simply decided last night to plan and research this location and lead myself into it, after all what was I going to learn from watching someone else doing it while I dangled around at 7000 feet?

In the big scheme of things it was an a magical moment and a walk in the park all rolled into one. The blogs pictures tell the story!

Jaques!

Beaune at Bedtime

It's been a long day, it took a long while for the rain to clear, it was a long time to get packed up and and was a long flight across the north of France to Beaune. Across the battlefields we are reminded of the past peppered with cemetery and graveyards, flags and monuments, the freedom to fly is not free.

I don't think that I have ever felt this way at the end of a days flying, I feel flat! I feel like I would have rather spent the day with the people I love, perhaps the balance is changing.

Day 2 - St Omer - ????

The plan is to truck toward the Alps, stopping at Challon, and Beaune. There we thinking about running full steam to GAP, the weather and fatigue will dictate how far we get!

Over night rain, a wet tent and a front dictate when we will be leaving, xcweather.co.uk is our reference and seems to be very accurate!

France - Day one

The goodbyes were more difficult today, I don't know why but arriving at the Hanger the aircraft was fully inspected and trusted! Loading up took a while and the fronts that passed though did so in time with the forecast. Set off at 1600hrs landing in Calais 2 hours later the crossing was easy, fun almost, as I relaxed at 5250 feet with Brian and Richard off my wing tips.

Tomorrow we planning 6 hours to Beaune ( pronounced bone ), to arrive Sunday in the Alps.
M

Preparation - Cheers Steve

Preparation tonight started with a list, as it grows I wonder if it will all fit into the trike and more importantly, if I really need it all! A well timed "gift" knocks the food shopping on the head! CHEERS Steve, you know who you are!

Today, the repairs to the flight trim systems complete and tested, the airframe and engine had one of the closest inspections I have completed for a long while. G-SA is officially ready, now the packing and checking can start while I keep one eye on preparation and the other on the weather.

Officially Excited! - Flying the Alps in less than 10 days!

Gotcha!

What your looking at here is a "Gotcha" today its howling outside, and I am preparing my machine for the French trip, between now and then, a family holiday, work commitments mean that I wont be flying, this weekend is it. There is a short list of things to do, following a flight last night over USS George Bush (pictures to follow), the wing trim failed. While fixing it this morning we had to strip the whole machine down which meant I looked at the fuel filter from both sides otherwise I might have missed this crack.

From Thorney Island we are planning to take off and head south over 58 miles of water to Cherbourg, if the the glass in this filter had failed due to the vibration, there were two outcomes, wet feet and may be a fire. Hmm!

Listening Skills

Flying tonight consisted of a series of calls to friends, arranging an evening with Charlotte while at 800 feet off the coast of Hayling Island. Facilitated by the installation of my new FlyCOM system ready for the French trip. http://www.flycom.co.uk/

How I came to order the new helmets and headsets is a muse in itself, however before I tell you about that, I have to tell you about the sheer comfort and silence of the FlyCOM system. For the last three years friends have been telling me how good they are, but I was not listening......neither was the old fella on the MicroAvionics stand at Popham!

I had to pop onto the FlyCOM stand and pick up a visor for a friend at this years Popham Microlight Fair. The reception was light hearted with a bit of banter. They knocked off £3 quid of the list price of the visor too! It's not about how much that was it's about the spirit with which they did it.

I too needed a vizor for my all in one Micro Avionics system so I popped onto their stand and was told it' £xx for the visor, this is the interchange..

Me - "thats 5 quid more that FlyCOM list how about matching their price "Smile"?
Micro - "we can't discount because we will upset our dealers"
Me - "how about upsetting your customers?"
Micro -"if we discount our dealer will get upset"
Me - "where are the dealers? They are not here to help me, one of your customers, so why are you so worried about what they think about you giving me £5 off the visor?"
Micro - "but my dealers won't like it?"
Me - "well I am one of your customers and I don't like it! The visor is a copy of the FlyCOM so I will simply buy it from them"
Micro - "Shrugges Sholders"
Me - "sigh"

I left walked back to FlyCOM I was so disappointed in MicroAvionics mean spirity & approach it seem they value dealers and not customers, how dumb is that? Especially when the dealers arent there to help...

So here I am back at the FlyCOM stand, and for the first time I was able to spend some time with Dave and his son, I tried at Popham last year, then at the Splash show but they had been so busy. It's 1630hrs and they must be tired and certainly must have demonstrated there systems 100's of times, but I got the full demo as if it were the first in the morning! It really felt like i mattered.

Head in a large helmet, and it was silent and so so comfortable, my MicroAvionics version was difficult to put on had several pressure point and left marks on my forehead. I spend some time understanding the technical differences of which there are many. The configurations and options considered, my order was placed. If I sell my headsets, radio interface, micro avionics helmet my old Lynx gear etc etc I could buy the FlyCOM system complete.

The difference was only £350 for the benefits of an all new system, COMFORT, Silence and an interface for my iPhone that worked, yes I sold my other headsets relativly speaking quickly over the next 10 days, so the numbers really worked! It was a "show offer" which made the pricing right for my toys budget, but there was no mention that I had to suffer a finaical penalty becuase a dealer who added no value to me, might be upset.

And so FlyCOM, the experts in Listening technology really did deliver, and I am delighted with the technology, the service approach and the price was right.

Thank you FlyCOM, may be now my listerning skills will improve ;-)

I suppose I need to say thankyou for the poor service to MicroAvionics, without which I may still be flying around in a helmet that felt like it was "clamped on" , and so Thank you for not listerning, as you will see else where on this  blog  manufactures are welcome to reply which will be posted verbatum.
