Today I had two fuel pump failures in a light aircraft, made it home safely.
Is it human nature to put yourself in dangerous situations?
What have you done that you could of avoided, the things you like to do but have a little risk involved? |

We make risk/reward decisions every day. The level of acceptable risk is weighed up against the potential reward.
Meeting a stranger for sex is always a risk, but sometimes the reward is worth it. |

"How many fuel pumps are there on a small aircraft?
I always get a scary thrill on the back of hubs' motorbike.
"
2 fuel pumps, I used a fuel primer to get home, it's for pumping fuel to the engine before you start but it works.  |

Light aircraft is for social fun, no commercial value, it's the same as anyone's hobby.
Thanks for the comment. |

I ride motorcycles fast, very fast. The thrill is indescribable. There's a fine line between thrill and potential danger. I ride that line.
Don't mind the smart arsed comments here First Officer. Only a few get to experience pure adrenalin.
Glad all worked out for you today |

It's great to see a man over 70 still flying, he did a good job putting it down considering the problems he had. |

No problem Robbie, get them all the time.
Anyone interested in learning to fly, we have been working for years, on making it easy to get a sport pilot licence.

Most of the older aircraft are on carbs, fuel pressure is between 0.2 and 0.4 bar...
The primer is only used before start normally to preserve battery power.
It was my get out of jail card today. |
