    Threre is a whole heap of other things Shareholders should know, behind the scenes, like, I would allege some $400,0000 in legal fees, to date. AND the possible departure of the President, to CASA?

    I thinks it’s a case, the answer will only be found IF the wings fall off…….

    No one can get minutes of any meetings in print, to see what has gone through any of those meetings, UNLESS they attend the registered office of the organisation and VIEW any minutes requested.

    The subject says it all, which being a Shareholder in RAAus which involves potential financial liability, that bothers me? I would like to be proven wrong? Given a few occurrences of recent times, concerning legal actions, Coronial Investigations, alleged possible improprieties etc, with potentially disastrous financial outcomes. This could place me in a financially vulnerable position, personally? IF legal actions go horribly wrong for RAAus, and there is a massive financial claim against RAAus? After all Directors Guarantees are financially exhausted, then shareholders can become financially liable? Under our current RAAus structure? Yes, there is insurance but that can become null and void, if impropriety is discovered and I would allege that cover ups to a Coronial Enquiry could form part of that, in one case? Yes, conversations with people by phone have made me aware of these possibilities, so therefore I put it to the Forum for comment. Any written evidence to the contrary, would help erase any fears about what I have stated above?

    Many simply say, I missed the ‘boat’ 🤩

    Big bonus was those noisey Twin Wasp engines drowned out the guttural moans and groans, of the participants 😁

    Thats WHY I love meeting people personally, or at the least having phone conversations, which was our only choice, in the Jurassiic era 🤩

    I found it in East West Airlines livery somewhere? I remember I did a school excursion in one of their F27 Fokkers back in the middle ‘60s

    This is my friends old aircraft, since restored from his charter service days VH-AGU, has flown under many different colours, in its life https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/9648250

    2 aircraft I want to fly in, in this life time are a LOCKHEED Super Constellation (which will never happen) and a DC 3/C-47. Buffalo Airlines in the U.S.? have some. Getting a right seat ride would do it for me, before I leave this Earth. 😁

    One of my best Aviation friends is retired now, close to 80 years old, owned flying schools, charter airlines, managed airlines in New Guinea. One instance of note, he operated a charter operation 40 years ago, flying his own Dakota C47. I know him personally, have seen his pile of Logbooks, a Kangaroo could not jump over. He phones me every week for a yarn. This guy is a true Aviator with many thousands of hours, in so many different aircraft For me, his knowledge is gold…...

    I spend a lot of time on phone discussions with people more knowledgeable than me. I have quite a few Pilot friends out there that I can spend a couple of hours talking to. Those people know exactly where I come from, IF there is controversy……I am usually in the middle of it. But the difference is, here you can be attacked by Moray Eels but phone discussion, is more considerate and negotiable. I used to be on Mailing Lists 25 years ago, better than the Forums or SwampBook in todays World. How about that, for thread drift 😁

    I spent 90 minutes talking to an experienced Pilot this morning, asking question, opinions. on various aspects of Aviation. I learnt quite a bit from our conversation. Learn more keeping ears open, mouth closed.

    You don’t need the permission of the Forum to PM someone? No wonder you piss people off…..

    Well I went there, incentivised by Ben talking it up all the time. The moment I mentioned FAA FAR Part 103, it would appear I unknowingly had Leprosy in their eyes, so the $159 renewal went in the bin, when the time came……. Aviation is Aviation, why discriminate?

    Your first line says it all, Australia is run by people who are dumb as a box of rocks. Aviation, like many segments of life here, is a total mess. Just look at your beloved transport industry Turbs? Lately I see nothing in the media Bur B Doubles and other combinations with wheels in the air, everywhere and a landscape of dead bodies? Have all the smart rules fixed that? Have our Los Angeles sized phone books of rules and regulations stopped our Pilots from falling out of the sky? Everywhere I look, I see violations of logic and commonsense 🤢 Aviation is no different……

    FAR Part 103 Medical? What medical 🤩 They don’t even need a freaking Licence 😁 How smart are they? A whole lot smarter the us 👍
  18. jackc
    Turbs, wants to live in a perfect World, that will protect him against anything, including end of life 🤩🤩

    Yes, unless you suffer an SCA, which can happen to ANYONE…….

    Sudden Cardiac Arrest can take anyone out with a supposed perfect heart. It can just stop…… 20,000 people in Australia find out, every year.

    Problem is……people won’t take responsibility, I don’t know if the past incorporated structure would have potentially different outcome for RAA? Welcome to our modern World, just sue the arse off everyone, even IF the suing person is wrong? Trouble is, I would allege information was withheld from Coroner, as reported by ABC? We don’t know if that was true or not, either? One thing I learnt years ago, right or wrong stay of a Court room, because either way it will COST you money, regardless…….

    The current round of legal problems could see serious problems for RAAus hierarchy financially, as a result of possible impending legal costs, in an ongoing case.
  23. jackc
    It’s understandable that RAAus, want nothing to do with it…….they have commercialised a hobby for their own gain, organisation structural change, increasing regulation which has increasing costs to benefit them, at our expense. All perpetrated by do gooders, thinking that RAAus is the God of our Aviation Sector. It’s done many good things BUT it has a vested interest in getting money out of its members. All I will say is……it’s gonna need it when they get 6 figures plus, for legal fees from a recent Coroners Inquest FUBAR, which has not finished yet. And because of its structure, even Members may have to make up a shortfall 🤢 Someone please tell me I am wrong?
  24. jackc
    NO, fly your own FAR Part 103, with NO numbers, RAAaus can’t do ANYTHING and CASA are too busy, frying bigger fish, and don’t even know where Western Qld, is 🤩

    So on investigation of MARAP fees, the minimum is. MARAP Approval (minimum fee) $770.00 So it’s determined on the complexity of the application? The tech manual or fees schedule makes no reference to a renewal or registration changeover needing a reauthorisation? Maybe the logbook notation is accepted for the life of the aircraft? Anyone know that answer off hand?
