- It's not me, I found it on Youtube. A lot of people do it. Really enjoyed the video, did you use a standard HD camera or a GoPro?Andrew

 

 

[Ultralights]

yes, there are rules to follow, no faces, no regos and no ways to link your youtube videos to you..

 

 

[sseeker]

Talking to the OP or my link? Just to clarify, it's not me (as I said) and I think the video I posted was in Australia

 

Thanks,

 

Andrew

The gyro one isn't from Australia. Tho it would appear that

 

Is... you can see a partial rego is some shots, where? Gold Coast? check out his other video.

[Spin]

Agreed, I'd be surprised if that were Aus - probably somewhere volcanic going by the beaches and certainly in the tropics.

Yep, Heck Field, out to Jumpinpin and landing on either N or S Stradbroke. Wouldn't take too much detective work to figure out the aircraft either - man obviously didn't read Ultralights rules for youtube posting.

Looking at the drift wood ,the dark sand, and scenery in general in the Gyro Video.I can honestly say that the video was taken on Planet Earth somewhere. I reckon South America.Argentina or Chile.

Role models...........we is. ......( geeeez russ, wash ya mouth out with soap)

What a good Drifter is really made for..........................................................Maj...

David, additionally you must hold the RA-Aus endorsement and the aircraft must be registered under CAO 95.55 or CAO 95.32. According to the ops manual any other type is not allowed below 500ft unless taking off or landing.

[Guest Maj Millard]

My past Drifter was 25 registered, and it predated any low-level endorsments now in place. Some of the best, fun, and most skillfull flying I've ever done ! We were of course on landing approach to the beach at the time obviously........................................Maj...

 

 

[facthunter]

It's volcanic alright. Pacific Islands or NZ, north island, Maybe? Nev

 

 

[Guest Maj Millard]

Destiny Flyer, Please go and get a low level endorsement (you say it's on your wish list), then come back after you have actually experienced a bit, and I'll happily take up the discussion again, when you are familiar with the skills involved...............................................Maj...

Anyone interested could read my post #24 in the thread "This should make your blood boil". Just sayin', Don

 

 

[sseeker]

David, sorry I must have missed that post. The operations manual doesn't permit 95.10 aircraft below 500ft as far as I can see, my manual says 95.55 and 95.32 only. Has it been updated?

 

-Andrew

 

 

[sseeker]

David, thanks for pointing that out however the RA-Aus operations manual says,

 

Section 2.01 RA-Aus Ops Manual:

 

"No person shall operate an RA-Aus registered aircraft below 500ft AGL unless:

 

a. The aircraft is operated to the requirements set out in CAO 95.55, 95.32, Section 6.2 or relevant legislation as amended from time to time, and

 

b. Holding an RA-Aus Low Level Endorsement, or

 

c. Provide written proof to the operations manager of an RA-Aus recognised equivalent."

 

So that is an overall rule that all RA-Aus pilots must follow. This law stuff often confuses me so I may be missing something here but it doesn't say 95.10 there. So unless it's mentioned somewhere in section 6.2 it's not allowed. 95.10 aircraft do not comply with CAO 95.55 or 95.32 (as far as I'm aware) therefore they cannot be operated below 500ft fullstop.

[sseeker]

Sorry I'm an idiot! LOL just read your post David. Sorry makes sense now! RA-Aus could be more specific in saying "Section 6.2 of CAO 95.10" and then it says that you need a low level endorsement.

 

-Andrew

 

 

[sseeker]

David, so basically any RA-Aus registered aeroplane can be operated below 500ft, only with a low level endorsement or proof of prior training/experience (when it was legal) and must comply with section 6.2

[bones]

just to really throw the cat amoungst the pigueons have a look at these;

 

 

These was filmed all over his own property, so there is no legal problems :)

 

The only ones allowed to this is me and him so no traffic probs either:)

 

 

[sseeker]

Looks like a lot of fun although he must have some extreme confidence in his gyro/engine to be doing stuff like that.

[fly_tornado]

flying between trees in an isolated area looks like a recipe for disaster, legal or otherwise
