Why the Rip-fence is on the right of the blade

[DomValente]

I once had 15 hours flying experience in a cessna 172, how would you like it if I told you that your explaination on how to fly an areoplane was not how I do it. Maybe even with all your training you arn't really flying it properly, when I flew I didn't do it by your method and yet I still didn't crash therefore my method is better than yours.

Ooh subtle

Might just take you up on that one day, if it ever stops raining.

Maybe not on passenger planes where most things are automated, but when you are training you have to learn how to do everything manually, like with a map, pencil and paper so that you know what to do on the day when it all goes wrong

I landed many time in London Stansted airport...long time ago (1984), as I remember it's very short runway (2000 Meters), it's built on a hill and if you miss the runway you crash into the "Voxhol" (spell?) factory.

Commercial airplanes are much more automated and the new generation that is called "Glass cockpit" is fully computerized except 3 instruments that look "traditional", the Standby Compass, Standby Horizon and the Standby Altimeter.

But, as you said, with all the automation still we had to go a few times a year for simulator training and checks and usually not much an "automation" left when they press those "Fault" buttons behind you...

That reminds me...
The passengers are sitting in the aircraft and hear the following massage...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, this aircraft is fully automatically and nothing can go wrong....nothing can go wrong...nothing can go wrong...wrong...wrong...wrong...Peeeee...game over"

Oh yah, the subject. As it was mentioned, no one needs license to become a woodworker and that's the reason that we have so many amateurs. The professionals must follow the safety regulations of SHE but as long as you comply with the safety regulations there are no laws on how to perform a task so, using left or right fence is the decision of the operator and different people with different DNA, logic and opinion can decide on either way.

Well, "you will not convince me to become a Christian and I will not convince you to become a Jew", so lets leave it....

Niki, are you sure it was Stansted airport, the vauxhall factory is Luton airport about 30 miles away.

Now surely you mean John Lennon airport.

Oooops
You are so correct, it was Luton...well, after 23 years...and I'm 63 with old "computer"...

But I was flying also to Stansted, at that time I was working for a Charter company (read Kamikaze) and we were flying to Gatwick, Stansted and Luton because of the lower landing fee...

Sorry

Now surely you mean John Lennon airport.

The code's still the same, LPL (for Liverpool). What next? Margaret Thatcher Airport (Heathrow)? :lol: Shows how laong ago it was that I flew out of there (we used to call it "the bicycle shed" because it was so small)
