jeff loton Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Hey Everybody! I just returned home from a fantastic flight to Busselton, Western Australia. It was the first time I have flown the Tecnam Sierra from Bunbury to Busselton - only 30nm. Its been a great little aircraft to fly in and I am doing an endorsement from GA to RA which I have now completed. Busselton aero club are now doing RA training and have a great team down there for those that may be interested. One of the instuctors has over 23000 hours of experience! Hence, it has been great having someone like that around. Busselton training area takes in some great sites of the south west of WA and the airport is very new and better still very little traffic, so I am getting plenty of hours in when I am there. The Sierra handles like a dream! Bye for now, Jeff.
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 hey Jeff, I'm flying the Sportcruiser out of Bunbury so once I get the required endorsements I'll come down to Busso and say g'day!
jeff loton Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Cheers Brett, I am flying out of both Bunbury and Busso, but just at the moment Busso hasnt got that much action and is so easy to get some air miles up, those radio calls in Bunno get annoying and the strip is 5900ft - two touch and goes in one go. Jeff.
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 We bring the Dornier down to Busso quite often, done one aborted TO down there, had plenty to run! Wouldn't mind flying out of there though in something smaller. maybe later this year you can join the wife and I when we head down to Leeuwin Estate for a fly-in lunch!
jeff loton Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 When you get your RA give me call and take the Sierra for a fly, see what you reckon.......... Jeff
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I'll hold you to that! :thumb_up:
cj1starlet Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Guy's When my friends little chezzna is on the RA-Aus reg i'll have to fly down and say hello and get a 300 dollar hamburger and coffee one weekend . :thumb_up: Ben West Oz
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 This could turn out to be a decent day I reckon!
mAgNeToDrOp Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 lemme finish my navx endorsements . i'll join ya, in a jab just to balance things out ;)
Guest Brett Campany Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Sounds good, I still haven't finished my certification yet so it'll be a few months away anyway but we'll do it for sure!
cj1starlet Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah i hit my hours hard over 2 weekends and got certified after 5.2 hours, i was lucky with GA and Gliding hours otherwise it would have been a long and expensive trip. Keep going guy's it will be worth it, i can tell you, Getting the CASA monkey off my back makes things so much easier. Ben
jeff loton Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 A good way to go i did the same last weekend cert...in 6.5hr at Busso,now NAVX over the next few months ,,, probably need to get a better GPS than the one i use to locate fishing spots.I reckon there is a few possibilities in the Busso training area. Jeff :thumb_up: 1
cj1starlet Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 I was lucky i had enough nav time in other aircraft to missout on having to do the nav component ..... lucky
