Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2024 1:36 pm
Some of this we already knew...
Operational:
1. Flying low can kill you.
2. Flying low doing aerobatics can kill you quicker.
3. Flying in and around thunderstorms can kill you.
4. Flying with or in close proximity to a goof ball pilot can kill you.
5. Drinking alcohol before and while flying can kill you.
Hardware:
1. Oil quick drain plug can kill you. https://www.rivetbangers.com/forums/vie ... =47&t=6262
2. Single point failure in the complete ignition system can kill you. https://www.rivetbangers.com/forums/vie ... =47&t=6298
3. Electrical system failure for all electric ignition system and fuel injection can kill you. https://www.rivetbangers.com/forums/vie ... =47&t=6256
Rolling into 2024; I hope we are smarter, have self-discipline and build robust aircraft.
