Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 hahaha experimental... no need to file a crash report then... or do they?? What is DCA like with the experimental category over here??? In Aus, they are all Part 21 (not part 23) for airworthiness requirements, and CASA doesn't need to know bull about anything... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PC Yuen 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 The pilot is safe. No worries. phew!! For your information, it doesnt matter whether its an experimental aircraft or not, its still an aircraft. Let the report out first before making any conclusions yea.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 No conclusions have been made, just stating that experimental aircraft fall under a completely different category in most countries. An incident like this one however at an important airport like Subang is another story. Glad to hear the pilot is safe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PC Yuen 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 (edited) it could happen in any place or airport for your information. Doesnt mean SZB only reserved for important flights. FYI, SZB is turning into a major General Aviation hub in the region. Hopefully by then we shall see more activities.

Attan 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 ESB is very popular with young student pilots. The Zodiac runs on MOGAS (your premium car fuel) which is much cheaper than AVGAS. Somehow I have never liked the "feel" of that aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Attan 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2006 The Experimental Aircraft (EA) category only applies to the licensing of the aircraft, not of the pilot. He still has to report the incident. In the old days EA's can be home-built as long as at least 50% of the construction is carried out by the owner-pilot. Maintenance can be carried out by the owner-pilot provided he satisfies the DCA that he is technically capable of carrying out the work. I'm not able to confirm whether ESB's aircraft are EA's or licensed under another category because they are being used for flying training. Could EAT stand for Experimental Aircraft Trainer?

Norman 1 Report post Posted January 28, 2006 EchoAlphaTanggo belongs to ESB BUT why some people got the "Haha" inside their statements ?? Its a training aircraft & statistically... training aircraft has more "chances" of meeting "incidents and accidents" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norman 1 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 The pic shown by Benjamin Ng is 9M-EAS The one shown by TK could be EAT; (too far but could make up the livery..) Anyway... unconfirmed news report mentioned about the student-pilot was doing his first solo when he landed off-center and veered off runway (strong gust/cross-wind??)

Gavin Andrew David 6 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 So is he responsible for the damage and does he have to pay or what ah ? I think TK mentioned that it was EAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PC Yuen 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2006 Its 9M-EAT. I did my first trial flight with that plane back in Jan 2005. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted January 31, 2006 BUT why some people got the "Haha" inside their statements ?? My apologies Norman, the "haha" is not with reference to this incident, nor to what happend.. I was just jokingly referring to the infamous 'experimental' category that is so dubious around the world with respect to airworthiness and incidents... I was also reminded of another incident regarding an experimental homebuilt in Perth, where the aircraft belonged to a friend of mine (and a former Teacher of Liams, hence his reply)... This incident was much more serious, and the two pilots were extremely lucky to escape with their lives.. however, the local aviation authorities are only informed in such an incident if there were fatalities... the aircraft was badly damaged and the wreck sold and is now being rebuilt by some other enthusiasts... The danger and risk is far more severe for experimental category aircraft, as many will testify.. I apologise if I have offended anyone here, it was not intended.
