Of tangled webs and aircraft in tea shops.
I like the video segments, for many reasons, particularly for the body language, expressions, hesitations, fumbles and rescues. As one Senator said, Mike Mrdak is bloody good at his job; big fire, lots of chestnuts and many silly children to watch over. The video above stops at the end of a very ‘interesting’ passage of play. The words, standing alone in Hansard will require some serious consideration, which I will get to. But first, put your feet up, grab a beer, listen and watch the segment above – it’s worth it; if you want to understand how the game is played by the departments.
In primus– I draw your attention to the segment starting @ 02:47 – listen to the ‘switch’ and listen, carefully to the ‘threat’ (a sensitive area). Ol’ Hans Tied is about to try and sell NX some snake oil. At 03:17 there is a bare faced lie – a public safety zone etc. “the aircraft did not enter what we would understand to be” etc. Bollocks. Nick acts puzzled. Regulatory input, not safety – unbelievable.
Secundus – once we get through CASA having ‘feelings’ about what is or is not ‘safe’ @ 06: 07 – Carmody very neatly derails the discussion and takes it all back to the ICAO requirements for stop-ways and obstacle free gradients etc. which have SFA to do with what NX is trying to get to. Say if an aircraft blew a tyre @ lets say 70 knots and speared off the runway; if you take a modest 1000 kg as the weight and use F=MA, how far do you imagine (or calculate) that aircraft will travel before ‘stopping’, hopefully without fire. No matter; the math is academic – if you’re sitting in a tea shop 100 meters beyond where it stops; life is good. If you were sitting 50 meters from where the aircraft will, eventually stop, then you are at risk. Not a CASA problem – listen while they tell you why.
Last, but by no means least, Barry (Braces) O’Sullivan @ 10:30 weighs in and puts a rather neat hat on the antics of the CASA dancing pig.
Heigh Ho; we shall have the ‘script’ to play with soon and then we may pick out the switches and mix of terminology used in what seems like a vain attempt to side track the Senators. Well, good luck with that boys. Much MTF – this is fun.
Toot (watch the Doc’s visage – priceless) toot.
