  1. May be easier and simpler to buy something like a TRIG Com Radio which you can put in monitor mode and then transmit on either freq when desired.
  2. Try this… Phone Bankstown Tower, give them AN ETA and ask permission to come in NO RADIO. If you have a Headset with Bluetooth capability you could phone the Tower at one of the reporting points and they will talk you in. To confirm this,I just phoned the tower and they said no prob! PM me with your phone number if you want further advice and help
  3. Mate if you PM me I can help you with all the info as I have been there multiple times. Happy to phone you.
  4. Uni of Wisconsin Oshkosh has all that info. Go to LODGING tab
  5. Mine works fine mounted with good quality Velcro in the space above the top of the window in my J170. The Antenna has no problems receiving GPS signals in that position as the composite structure does not block them. It’s out of the way and solves the suction cup issue. Just have to remember to turn it off!
  6. I seem to recall a law that came in years ago that required all aircraft parked outside had to be disabled by a lock. Piper Warriors have a unique throttle lock arrangement. Jabirus have a hole in the throttle line through which a padlock can be installed.
  7. NEV I accept that Airline Crews need a high level of Security. My issue is the private pilot who lands and just wants to go into town to support the community! Why should they have to pay hundreds of dollars every 2 years for a Card they are never asked to show! Surely a Pilots licence woukd suffice?
  8. I enourage everyone to read my first post on this issue and form their own opinion. and YES i hold a cuurent ASIC!!
  9. I cannot believe what I have just read! I will compose a reply when my rage has dissipated!!
  10. Correct, the pax has to be in the company of the Asic wearing pilot
  11. Will check and advise I assume you mean the specific airport and the year?
  12. Well a friend of mine landed at a Security Airport a couple of years ago, and before he opened the door to get out and refuel, he was accosted for his ASIC! He had it in his bag and was berated for not wearing it!
  13. Consider this scenario… You land at a Security Controlled Airport. You shut down and are about to head into Town, when a person strolls over and demands to see your ASIC. You say, Sir (or Madam) I demand to see the paperwork giving you the authority to see my ASIC! After the stunned look disappears from the apparent Officials face you say…. SIR, you are upsetting and harrassing an Aircraft Captain, and I demand to exit the Airport without further interrogation. Silly scenario I know, however we shouldnt have to go through this possibility when landing at an Airport and simply wanting to go into Town and support the local economy!
  14. Not difficult to descend fron 2500ft to 1800ft from the Oaks inbound to Camden……anyway, off topic, discussion is about different circumstances at another Airport
