I don't care what brand is used as I just use the cheapest stuff at home🤣.

Yes, the lithium ions travel in the electrolyte solution from the cathode to anode during charging, but it is not a electrolyte issue per se causing the initial problem. Electrolytes while not the spark, are the fuel in any thermal runaway and the battery also carries its own oxidiser as part...

Only that thermal runaways are not caused by disruption in ion exchange unless you mean that to be a short circuit. Yes but even in properly built batteries, high SoC is related to slightly higher risk of battery fires compared with low SoC Though the risk is still very low - for example i have...

A thermal runaway is typically caused by an internal short circuit due to lithium metal dendrites (fingers) traversing from anode to cathode. Once it breaks through the separator membrane and hits the cathode a short circuit occurs and very high current travels along these dendrites. The...

Am I right there are less QF seats from AU to US than 10 years ago?

Yes, but if QF did use those extra slots it would likely dilute all the other existing loads

The difference in opinion is whether as you suggest > zero risk or as @Himeno suggests zero risk, not that you say it's going to happen What are the loads on NH/JL at the moment as this might give some insight into what Nh/JL would like to do. The exit of QF in this slot can only improve or...

Hey those road lollipop people earn a pretty penny - maybe not captain level but I would not be surprised around FO pay grade While some airlines need to get their governance up to scratch, I wonder if lights at runway entry can modified in some way to indicate shortened runway?. Then there...

Agree, however, blind /automatc tick boxes and form filling only take you so far.

Yes I understand, we used it in Scouts eons ago, they were great. I used to dip the tips and part of the shaft in molten wax to protect it. But safety matches can be easily lit with positive action. Other items which require positive action are scissors. They are technically restricted in terms...

I think just the name "Bamboo Airlines" makes it a bit suss - like Bonza. "I filled in the form and I ticked the boxes correctly". Surely the profession cannot just be this?

But why not ban the safety matches because they come in a box which the match can be struck on the side of the box?.

Sure, but the NOTAMS are required reading for pilots operating any flight out of that applicable airport? But as I said, there are systemic issues.

It looks like a ban on lighters and matches to me rather than a "restriction".

Yes look at your options but reminder that the correct treatment depends on the actual cause of the VUR - ie treatment options are generally not black and white. Medicare covers treatment for VUR, but the problem is going to be the wait time in a public hospital as VUR is often no more urgent...

Ok so sounds like your wife is getting to a diagnosis which then opens up treatment options. However there is Primary VUR - more commonly diagnosed in younger patients - typically an impaired valve, and then secondary VUR. Am I correct your wife has got it in one ureter not both? Your wife...

PallCare discussion paper PallCare can also be home based. Navigating PallCare often require input from Social workers who are invaluable. Some have particular skills with Paediatric PallCare, or Pallcare patients with young children etc etc Edit PallCare resources contacts

One pilot making an error OK, but 2 pilots making the same error at the same time? Maybe coughpit culture but also calls into question the upline corporate governance Q: When do airlines run a 3 pilot mission? 8hrs duration or more? Q: Sloppiness can often be picked up in sims, but there is only...

Likely they don't review NOTAMS or listen to ATIS in their entirety during routine operations because they think most of the time there is nothing out of ordinary. Eventually the deviation from good practice is normalised. Both pilots of both aircraft did not detect the shortened runway...
