Thank you for dropping ...Dear Hawaii Volcano Tours<br /><br />Thank you for dropping by and I hope this will not be your last visit. <br /><br />Thanks for your expression of pride in me. I think though, that I am receiving a kingly compliment from someone who does volcano tours, which surely demands better seat of the pants skills in flying. You turn me green with envy.<br /><br />Keep in touch sir.hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-16948852044389122732012-02-06T18:59:39.620+08:002012-02-06T18:59:39.620+08:00You do have some skills.

I hope that you and the rearing Red Alfa have had some time for revelry too.<br /><br />Thanks for raising the point on item 6, and it is a most pertinent question indeed.<br /><br />Helicopters do not need a runway for successful departures and arrivals as you have perceptively pointed out.<br /><br />Be that as it may, though a helicopter can land on a spot, in the event of any engine failure in the take-off run, the departure can be aborted and a safe landing be executed by a run-on landing over the stretch of asphalt available ahead of the point of said failure. That same run-on landing in the fixed-wing style is available for safe and comfortable use should said engine/engines fail on approach to land.<br /><br />This soft fall in case of engine failure by use of a runway isn't always possible, for instance, at an oil rig/platform/barge, or in a hole in the jungle, as would have been in the air force Nuri environment.<br /><br />Therefore where the terrain allows, we build a runway to enhance the management of risk and the handling of emergencies by manipulating the handling characteristics of the helicopter to its maximum.<br /><br />Hope this helps.hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6288619677784745586.post-80483359312528511852011-12-25T08:23:38.012+08:002011-12-25T08:23:38.012+08:00Capt Jeff, firstly let me wish you and your family...Capt Jeff, firstly let me wish you and your family a very merry Christmas and all good tidings in the coming year.<br /><br />I apologise for not visiting your blog in a while but now that I have, wow... there's a lot to catch up on. Love reading your updates Sir. Am happy that you're enjoying the new job.<br /><br />By the way, silly me just wondering on point no. 6, but why should helis require runways to land? I'd always thought pilots aim for a spot somewhere on the tarmac...Zendra-Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925887213311694799noreply@blogger.com
