dazza 38 Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Hi Guys, just been watching a dvd, i received in the post.Tiltled ' weather to fly'. All i can say is that is was excellent, it is great, for all skill levels.What i liked the most is that is a eight different areas, around australia, mountanous regions Like where i fly is SE qld.Flimed from a a/c, they show your the best areas to navigate through the mountains etc.Comes in handy, if you want to fly somewhere you have never been to, they give you the heads up.regional areas are, Nth Qld, Sth qld, NT, WA, Sth Aust, VIC, NSW and Tassie. If interested, as disscussed last week in human factors just get on the CASA site, and order its free, you just have to pay for postage.I also got for free- remote aerodromes,pilot maintenance,look out situational awareness,safety on the ground.Human Factors, DVD, Work Booklet,and other books, very comprehensive. All for the cost of postage $15 for me, sent from Vic.Cheers:wave:
Tomo Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 Sounds great, I'm thinking I might order some also.
slartibartfast Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 I rang CASA about us hosting a selection of their videos on our TV station. They'd said that someone would get back to me. Not unexpectedly, they haven't. I'll chase them further. I think it would be very useful to have their videos here for more people to see. Saves the postage too (that's all they charge for most DVDs).
dazza 38 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Posted February 12, 2010 HI starli, for $15 dollars in postage, i ordered all the free DVD,s.Some were things we already know, but human factors one is like a full on course, work book, dvds and information book.It is going to take sime time to go through it.I realy likes the weather safe to fly, because, if you wanted to go to say, cairns for a eg.They show a flim from the a/c, of where and what to look for which valley to take, were the weather generally comes from etc.I wished they listened to you mate, because it IMO would be beneficial for VFR pilots.Government i guess mate
Tomo Posted February 12, 2010 Posted February 12, 2010 ordered a whole swag of stuff last night... thanks Dazza.:thumb_up:
dazza 38 Posted February 13, 2010 Author Posted February 13, 2010 no worries Tomo, thanks maddog, that is where the postal came from.Thomas logistics in VIC
sfGnome Posted February 13, 2010 Posted February 13, 2010 Yep, I ordered a bunch last night too. Looking forward to 'em
motzartmerv Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 Starti. Would casa have an issue with us posting some of their vid's up on this site?? Would be great if people could stream them from here.
slartibartfast Posted February 14, 2010 Posted February 14, 2010 That's what I asked them Merv. They haven't got back to me. I'll chase them again.
motzartmerv Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 oh, ok..sorry... i used to get hit in the head alot..:hittinghead:
facthunter Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 Clever.... He's a very funny man that SmartiXXXXblast, or am I the only one that has noticed.
motzartmerv Posted February 15, 2010 Posted February 15, 2010 That's ok, he will keep.... Should i mention it now that the reason i used to get hit alot was because i was a tournament fighter??...nah, I'll save that one..hehe
flying dog Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 OK, For the idiot, what is the link? I tried to find it but the search engine on the site kinda sucks, or it couldn't find the DVD by that name when I tried. And: Is CASA the same as Airservices?
Guest Sharp End Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Slarti, I've sent a repeat request to their safety promotions area... let's see if the evil empire takes any notice!
flying dog Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 Thanks Slarti. Looking, there doesn't seem to be a phone number you can call. :( Drats. Sorry! Blonde day.
slartibartfast Posted February 16, 2010 Posted February 16, 2010 I got someone to ring me back today. She thinks it's a great idea and that there shouldn't be any problems, and she'll get the guy who runs multimedia to call me when he gets back from a road trip. A little more promising.
allanw Posted February 17, 2010 Posted February 17, 2010 Thanks for the heads up I did not know they existed. I just ordered situational awareness, safety on the ground, weather to fly and human factors, they should make a good addition to the small amount of material I currently have!!

HI Allanw, i would like to take credit for starting this thread, but MAZDA, was the person who, reminded me a couple weeks ago about various, DVD's available from Casa.In the human factors thread. Cheers i hope you enjoy:wave:
