  1. Tyagarah, Anyone can use it, Landing fees to Byron Shire Council. The danger is parachutists and I fly around there. Be careful as some aircraft have no radio and military aircraft like to fly low and fast along the coast
  2. I went to Dubbo which is next door and back. I went a straight line to Rapville then on to ballina. The straight line to Rappville keeps you out of Tamworth CTA and rappville to Ybna takes you around Evans head restricted. There are plenty of strips along the way if you need a break or fuel and only a small amount of tiger country.
  3. Craig, I assume that you are that concerned for your family that you don't want to take risks. Tell me do you drive a car? Do you go swimming? Because you have a much greater risk of an accident doing both of these. You cannot stop living because you fear what might happen. I suggest you think of the joy that flying will bring you and your family and that great feeling you get when a dream comes true
  4. What music is it???????
  5. Bilby Where abouts at St George as there is nothing in ERSA, using avgas
  6. This one came up earlier on in the year and I asked Mick Poole to clarify and Ian is correct. Whilst under instruction (studying) you are a student and CAR 5.72 applies. It's a lonely path to get your Nav but well worth it.
  7. "Godson" having his 21st, he works out there and gets paid to fly around the property. Only bloke I know to get free flying and didn't have to join the RAAF
  8. Planning a trip in a J160. Any advice on best fuel prices, rest stops ( plane has 10 hrs endurance however I only have a 4 hour bladder), or any info you think may be relevant.
  9. A National Water Commission representative stopped at a Canberra farm and talked with an old farmer. He told the farmer, 'I need to inspect your farm for your water allocation.' The old farmer said, 'OK, but don't go into that field over there.' The water representative said, 'Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me. See this card? THIS CARD MEANS I AM ALLOWED TO GO WHEREVER I WISH on any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered. Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?' The old farmer nodded politely and went about his farm chores. Later, the old farmer heard loud screams and saw the water rep running for the fence and close behind was the farmer's huge-horned prize bull. The bull was gaining on the water rep with every step. The rep was clearly terrified, so the old farmer immediately threw down his tools, ran to the fence and shouted out.......... 'Your card! Your card! Show him your card!'
  10. Not silly, best idea I've heard all day. The old fashion way is most times the best way
  11. I had a hard time grasping this same question during my training and to my instructors credit he took just as much time expalaining it. The best angle of climb is an angle 20 degress or 30 degress whatever. the best rate of climb is FPM. Your plane might climb at 30 degrees to cover an obstacle and will gain x amount of feet, less than it would have done in the same amount of time over a longer DISTANCE as the ASI is higher with a lower nose attitude and hence more lift . If you were to use best rate of climb you may not clear that obstacle as the distance is longer. Once you have cleared the obstacle go back to the best rate of climb.
  12. I'm with Pip. I am dead scared of heights, which is one of the reasons I learnt to fly, I told my instructor that when it comes to flying I am a coward. His reply was that it was a quality he admired in pilots - when in doubt don't. It's those with a false sense of bravado that threaten our freedoms and I for one have no problem reporting them. Self regulation it's called and if we don't do it then it's back to CASA who will do it with no other justification than revenue raising. Think about it
  13. you could have shown her after she woke up and advised Ian on what it meant, The really sad thing is that they are making a Cessna "ultralight" LSA in China - how are we supposed to conform to the manufacturers maintenance schedule if we can't even install the battery??????
  14. Kelvin you have stated that you are an OH&S professional, you ask a lot of deep questions but for those of us that are not specialised in your field I am interested in your thoughts about our safety culture and any ideas to improve it or indeed any suggestions you may have
