  1. .........Vic Government's "We may be broke, but we'll give you a free $20.00 voucher if you hire a Dragger", that's the way it is in the proud female-led State of Vic. We can tell you who it is because that would embarrass him, but Turbo has always said "Even $20.00 adds to the bottom line. Turbo had agreed, but CT was beginning to regret giving up his Camo because way too many bunnies could spot him a mile off and would stand on their hind legs and do one of Pink's iconic dances, the movement threw his aim off and his bounty tally was down by $2500.00 per Month. CT.....................
  2. When you're telling a story it always pays for the characters to stick to the narrative; reminds me of someone a while back on another site who denouncd CASA at every opportunity, boasted about his illegal deeds and how CASA would never know who it was and eventually posted a photo of his instrument panel .........with his registration on it. Several tousand posts disappeared overnight.
  3. Next target 16 Thrusters and some Drifters
  4. Their job is to administer specifications, building, flying operations. If anything they have been slack but the fatality rate has been down. They have to deal with all sorts of people. Last time there was a big audit was triggered by someone thinking he could fly without licence and reg and annoying other people. CASA did the audit and a lot of non complying aircraft went back into the sheds.
  5. Airservices Australia "All civil aircraft operating in Australia are required to comply with the Air Navigation (Aircraft Engine Emissions) Regulations 1995 regardless of size, purpose or ownership. Responsibility for Regulatory compliance rests with the aircraft operator/owner to ensure their aircraft meets the Regulations." In this link there's a further link to the Regulation. https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/about-us/our-services/assessment-of-environmental-regulations-for-aircraft/air-navigation-aircraft-engine-emissions-regulations-1995-support-tool/
  6. "...........at the nest World Championships she won 17 years out of 20 a row and I only won twice." Not many people know that bull was also an accomplished pianist, entertaining many people at the RSL when he lived in Bone, and often touring western CQ towns with his instrument, following the trail of Slim Dusty. This was pretty hard on the Jacka and affected its WB dreadfully. Queenslanders used to line the local airfields after a bull performance just to see the jacka stagger into the air with a grand piano strapped to its back. Sometimes .............
  7. The current situation is that Goulburn Airport is for sale; that's all at present. Going over threads from 2009 to 2012 when the Council sold it and subsequent stories which pointed to industrialisation: 8 Recreational Aircraft and 1 Cessna apparently are no longer there. 9 Recreational Flying Members were lost to this site and perhaps RAA So in 12 years, maybe that is the loss when an Airfield ceases to be a pure aviation precinct. Because there's been no news since, those numbers could be greater; I know of one other who operates a GA Aircraft elsewhere. In the bigger picture across Australia, it's worth taking a look at potential lost fields earlier than we do.
  8. I did the work to bring our knowledge up to date on the Self Administering Organisations. Maybe it's the Thruster and Drifter and the other classes guys who should be taking car of this sort of question - you know your sector.
  9. CASA is free to choose anything that works well from other countries, and it and its predecessors have done that. In more recent years both CASA and FAA have changed regulations in line with ICAO and as a result the big gap between FAA and CASA is a lot less, and where people are comparing the rules they might remember, it pays to check both the current CASA regs and current FAA regs so see if they've changed to match ICAO.
  10. Well in doing the research on the SASAOs I found some trends that indicate that skills in that area attract customers.
  11. amended to Certificates or Licences. This was supposed to be an inert thread just showing the current structures of SASAOs and other organisations within the CASA structure.
  12. No, I'm not making any comments on an unlicenced FAR Part 103. I'm commenting on Australia where we have our own regulations which we have to comply with. That should be very clear from the heading of this thread. What people do in other countries around the world is a matter for their jurisdictions.
