Trike Flying School Tumut?

[Bubbleboy]

Hi.....I recall seeing an advert for a Husband and Wife Flying school in Tumut I think, that has Trikes? Can any one give me their Web address?

 

Thankyou

And there is no website.

 

Great flyer and teacher, but he is away from tomorrow for 3 weeks in China and Florida catching up with old students among other things.

 

That's why I had to get his Jabiru back yesterday.

 

Don, thanks for the help. That home number you gave is the work number in the hangar. Otherwise I was going to delete it - the internet is a dangerous place.

 

There were about 30 hang glider and trike students there for the last 4 days making use of Peter's skills. It was a bit awkward returning from Narromine at dusk to a gaggle of non-radio equipped aircraft travelling at half my speed.

 

Everybody had a great time though.

 

His wife does help out too, she was my SARWATCH yesterday. So that's probably the right place Bubbleboy (Seinfeld fan?).

Hey maybe I'm in the wrong profession, Jabiru, trips to China, Florida,...where can I purchase a trike instructors ticket .

 

All jokes aside, I assume he is an RA-AUS instructor and not HGFA?

 

Another question, I read on the board somewhere that if you train with HGFA, you can only fly 25kms. from the place you were trained and not from other airfeilds.

 

Anyone know if it's the same with RA-AUS?

Sorry Ross I just took the number from the RAA web site not thinking.

No worries Don. You're always quick to help. I wasn't criticising, just saying we need to be careful with people's details.

Yes, Tumut is RAA not HGFA.

 

A year or two ago the HGFA did (re)interpret their rules to mean that qualified pilots without xc endorsements were restricted to the airfield they trained at. However it was confirmed at the recent instructor seminar that this is not the case - you can be based at a different airfield. You are restricted to 25nm radius from your home airfield and you also cannot "operate from or land at an aerodrome established or licenced under Civil Aviation Regulations" without a xc endorsement.

 

Hope that helps
