    RAAus wont see it that way, They would argue no safety, loss of admin control, loss of membership money. They would cringe over someone unlicenced, possibly not trained, swooping around at 500-1000 feet in the middle of nowhere. Flying night VFR at midnight, on a full moon 🙂 The ‘Catch Me IF You Can Airforce’ That has a ring to it 🙂

    You would count the number of people on 2 hands, but it could seed people to want more…….a possible boost in Aviation?

    Todays Truck Cabs have more structural integrity with included safety design……thankfully 🙂

    Thanks Mike, I need to do this for each of my aircraft 🙂

    Dan Compton, Wings Out West at Dubbo, take a bit of a holiday out there, it will be worth the effort 🙂

    RAAus told me I had to pay them for engineering approval to do the Aeropup. It all just got too hard for my 19 reg aircraft as I did not build it, hence my approval problem.

    After discussion with RAAUS, doing a retrofit BRS to my Aeropup was going to be a cost and engineering nightmare, they make it difficult to get approval. Now I have a Jabiru as well, have not even gone there….. So, I have a wearable Parachute which I would only use as a lone pilot. IF plane has an engine fire or structural failure, I would simply take my chances and exit stage left, that is fraught with danger in itself but worth the risk. I have even given thought to engineering a firewall forward fire suppression system?

    And then the housing development residents will want the airport closed because of noise. Be careful what you wish for?

    Old story…..we all just hurry up and……WAIT 🙂

    There will not be enough LAMES in certain places, the shortage will cause a lot of grief. No good making rules IF support infrastructure is not available so people can reasonably comply?

    End up in a Court of Law based on Austiil Legislation, you will need to know it backwards or a Barrister could take you to the cleaners…….?

    I have ask WHY 500 pages of stuff to do a reasonable simply task in what should be an easily understandable document for lay people, since they are the ones who need to abide by it all. People wonder WHY I am rules adverse, well now you know 🙂

    Fortunately for me, my GP of 15 years is also DAME and knows his stuff, we have many ‘medical’ discussions about things when I visit. Scary part is he is retiring soon 😞 I have ‘sacked’ a few Doctors before I found him 🙂
  15. jackc
    IF it came to the crunch (I don't think it will, for me I hope) a DAME grounded me? I would still fly IF I wanted. I have been studying Internal Medicine for over 8 years! I have been a paid subscriber of medical journals in that time as well. Having seen some disastrous medical findings in my life has been enough for me. I have seen a Doctor fired from a medical practice as a result of my complaint.

    Modern day attitudes seem to be that the ‘whole’ recipe does not get published until the end. Keep people in the dark so they cannot make forward plans. We will start construction……but we don't have all the plans……. Better shut mouth before I put my foot in it 🙂

    Some have been repowered? How are they affected?

    In respect of Medicals, I have never forgotten over 50 years ago, a 22 year old friend of mine died from an Aortic Dissection, 7 days after a pre discharge Army Medical. Anything can happen at anytime 😞 This is an interesting read….. https://www.kitplanes.com/homebuilt-accidents-the-pilots-condition/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=KITPLANES+Homebuilder+s+Portal&utm_campaign=HB-Portal-2023-04-13

    Money isn't everything but you can get free training to upgrade qualifications that can see you climb the public service ladder and transfer to other Govt entities. Trouble is you could end up being in an environment where your team is not a great workplace but then again it could be great job. Nothing ventured…..nothing gained 🙂
  20. jackc
    All the while…..these people are being paid a Salary you could only dream of, but its all cool and normal for Govt entities 😞
  21. jackc
    No wonder people fly with expired medicals…….you would think that being so important that CASA would be right on to it…..

    Not drinking and not smoking, ever….i believe has benefited me, plus a severe mental attitude of not having any fcuks to give 🙂

    IF a Police Officer ever suggested a physical driving test to me. I would say right, lock up your Patrol Car and we do it right NOW. IF my Doctor suggested I was unfit to drive…..I would give him the same treatment. I consider myself capable, at this time. One day it WILL be over and I will retire to my bombed up mobility scooter 🙂 I see Hoon Meetups in my future at the local Woolies car park, after midnight 🙂

    And today, the Qld Minister for Transport announces on the radio, he wants driving tests for existing car licence holders. All the fat cat bureaucrats will be burning their biros out tomorrow, making submissions to the minister for suggestions, so they can get their bonus points with the minister. So yep, legislation starts with the minister and the bureaucrats pour fertiliser on the ministers idea.

    I have been described as a nut case by people all my life because I am adventure driven BUT I am still alive 🙂 Thinking back…….it probably started when I got expelled from a private boarding school, they said there NO hope for me…..Wanchors!!
