  1. I use AvPlan, an Aussie company. No problems there and good support.
  2. is Moorabbin "owned" by Goodman or do they hold the 99 year lease from the Federal Government like many other secondary airports and if so local planning does not apply as the land is under federal planning laws although I may be wrong here.
  3. Had a 172 for 20 yrs then maintenance costs rose and rose then cids. Id had enough. Nice to get around in but maintenance cost creep was the killer. Also didnt use the full payload capability often. I went for an raa aircraft with much the same performance as fhe 172, cruse speed , approach and flair and suitable comfort for two plus 5hrs fuel and 20kg baggage. I found the lsa handled like a mixmaster in turbulance but soon learnt not to fight it and enjoy? the ride. Lsa will never be as comfortable as an aircraft twice its weight but can do long cross country and fun flying at half the cost. Also doing your own maintenance, if capable, ups your skill and respect for the aircraft and lowers the cost substantially.
  4. AS a 24 rego you will need approval from the manufacturer and a LOA or go experimental.
  5. Had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Rang and was advised the bank payment went through but the system did not advise Clear Prop. They immediatly forwarded the items ordered. I suggest giving them a call.
  6. I am after a CZAW Sportcruiser / Piper Sport canopy. I tracked one down several years ago but lost the contact details. Please advise if you have or know of anybody that may have this item for sale. Matt
  7. I use AvPlan and for long trips i print the charts off the screen using a colour laser printer, usually each leg has a paper copy. The app allows all flight plan data to be printed as well.
  8. I just identify as a 25yo (you can now in our PC world) and to question me would be discrimination
  9. Occasionally have this problem and found the connection between the probe and the EMS loom bayonet clips at fault. I disconnect and reconnect and all is OK.
  10. Just another American company given a free pass into our airspace just as REX are gearing up for regional to capital jet routes. Rex has been servicing the regional areas and doing a good job.
  11. I use avplan on an apple mini. It occasionally overheats and shuts down for a few minutes. I have a thigh mount for it which keeps it below the panel and out of direct sunlight. I also have the aera GPS in the panel as a fall back when the pad looses interest. The great thing about avplan is it gives instant access to everything you will need and as a backup i can print the route maps directly from the pad if needed.
  12. No mention of flying restrictions for rural pilots at the Corona Virus vic gov site. Travel - regional Victoria | Coronavirus Victoria but still no flying for lockdown areas. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/travel-restrictions
  13. What is a planner anyway. Someone who change their mind every 3 - 5 years. We already have a second international airport in Avalon situated between our two biggest cities in vic. Some planner didn't think we needed it and sold it on. The eastern area can easily be serviced by commuter shuttle from Traralgon.
