Hér er myndband sem lýsir því ágætlega, hvers vegna ég hef engan áuga á að útvega mér þotumódel (nema þá kannski hægfleygt ef það er til).
Það lýsir líka því hvers vegna slys af þessu tagi gæti gert okkur verulega óvinsæla ef svona bredda til dæmis færi niður í skóginn við Hvaleyrarvatn á góðum útivistardegi með tankinn fullan af grillvökva.[/quote]
Eru þetta ekki smá fordómar minn kæri.

Svo er það nú yfirleitt ekki grillvökvinn sem veldur íkveikjunni heldur startgas sem sumir eru með um borð í vélunum.
Samtöku þotuflugmanna í Ameríku gerðu könnun hér um árið(2004) og skv. henni komu upp eldar í ca. 0.075% fluga.
[quote=http://www.jetpilots.org/crash_stats.htm]Basic Data: This year, the data tracked 1208 pilots logging an estimated 7950 flights.
* * * * *
Fires: There were six reported fires this year, though one occurred on the set-up day and not during the sanctioned event
One of the fires reported involved an engine seizure/LOC. The actual fire was very brief, and as soon as the ECU detected the failure it shut off the fuel which appears to have extinguished the fire immediately. There was no post crash fire, and the signs of a pre-crash fire damage could only be detected by inspection of the airframe.
All remaining fires involved planes hitting the ground at high speed or some catastrophic event. All of these fires either self extinguished or were reported to be pilot controlled.

Conclusions:
* * * * *
5) Fires remain relatively uncommon, but still result primarily from high speed ground impact with the engine running. At the beginning of every flight, repetitive thought should be given to pulling the trim in the event of a catastrophic event. Data also shows that fires can be successfully controlled with water based fire equipment. It is not certain how often the regulations are followed in this area at home fields, but it is important.[/quote]
Get glatt þig með því að Boomerang er mjög hægfleygt módel, mín er ekki einu sinni með bremsur, svo nú er bara að drífa sig og versla eina!
