It was drummed into us when training!.

Engine Failure After Take-off. 

If too slow getting the nose down, ' you stall ' .

Only four pages ( A4 ) of abrieviations.

Mrs M printed this 28 page list for me however it's incomplete because you guys keep throwing others at me that aren't on the list 😒

I spend too much of my time chasing the meaning of acronyms when an extra few strokes of the keyboard would display the full meaning.

Quick Reference Guide to Australian Aviation Abbreviations.

There’s literally hundreds of abbreviations used in aviation, so to make it easier for you, we’ve put together a list of the most common ones you may come across. This list is a very handy resource if you are studying for your Private Pilot License.

This is an interesting read; better than the daily telegraph or sun mirror...

 

If RU1 zoning then landing and taking off of aircraft is not an illegal issue.


Flying under 500' during the procedure of take off or landing of aircraft, complies with CASA regulations.

 

Landing and take off of an aircraft from a paddock; CASA regulations, in short, area must be suitable for the aircraft in command of to safely clear flight path obstacles according to aircraft's climb performance charts and atmospheric conditions.

 

Aircraft Stalls... aircraft do not just suddenly fall from the sky during a stall as many may believe. A proficient pilot will train for this and recover the aircraft well before the aircraft is beyond the point of control.

 

Wind Shear... aircraft can fall from the sky in the event of severe wind shear; but not like in bugs bunny cartoons Proficient pilots will train for this and anticipate an occurrence during both take off and landing in particular wind conditions.

 

Experimental & General Aviation aircraft accidents and incidents... currently statistics have General Aviation aircraft leading the score board on this one.

 

Council restrictions upon airfields... depends how many people complain to council and how regular aircraft movements occur.

 

Flying Neighbourly... most community and commercial airfields have a policy to minimise pissing off the neighbourhood. This does not always align well when the aircraft pissing off the neighbours all come from another airfield and do not land or take off from the airfield the neighbours are complaining about...

 

Risks Profile & Mitigation Strategy... What are the risks and what is the likelihood of them occurring? Low or High? What are the impacts of each risk should they occur? Low or High?

Flying an aircraft is primarily all about constant risk management; it does not end until the engine is shut down and keys are removed from the switch. 
 

Talking is always best; flying is even better 👍👨‍✈️

on final over the house while annoying poses very little danger. he is setup for landing and gliding in straight.

taking off. its a 100 hp kitfox, he is probably at 4 or 500 ft before he goes over the house.

and we know he is a good pilot because t88 vouched for him. 

anyway i am sure you both will sort something out tomorrow.

When he takes off, he is definitely not at 4-500 ft. He's more like 200 ft because I can see him just clear the creek trees by about 10-20m which are 180 meters after (he clears the house first, then the trees next) the house.  The creek trees are approximately 30m - 50m tall depending on the tree.

Personally, I would not operate from that airstrip. I would have bought a more suitable place to fly from, that house is too close for my liking.  The risk element is probably not that great, but its one I would not be happy with.
