    We are probably up against Pandemic variables as well. Fancy being stuck in another state lockdown and camping under wing for 2 months 🙂
  2. jackc
    I reckon some planning needs to be done 🙂
  3. jackc
    No trouble for my Truster to be ‘under the radar’ 🙂

    I am sure all the people who currently have Skyecho2 will keep using them regardless. Probably wait years for the Mode S plan to leave its ‘holding pattern’ 🙂

    I am hoping that ECDs are well catered for as they represent a reasonable cost solution and are the best solution for minimalist aircraft. Portability between aircraft for those who own more than one aircraft is important, too.

    I will hurry up and WAIT…….. 🙂

    Me being the doomsday merchant sees a flurry of implementation rules. To fit Mode S to a Piper Cub or similar that has no electrical system as such, will require an approved charging system to be fitted etc etc?? RAAus can do it’s best to ‘advocate’ what we should have, but getting that has no guarantee. Just look at the airspace debacle……
  8. jackc
    Then comes a mandate with start date for ALL aircraft to have Mode S fitted??
  9. jackc
    A good start would be for ALL aircraft and ALL ATCs be able to ‘see’ ECDs, Skyecho etc…….

    I will PM you……

    All day parking fee at Wesley Hospital Bris multilevel car park. No parking for planes though 🙂

    Military of today are Snowflakes, no guts…no glory. In my military days, IF something was no good I told them, AND had a plan to fix it. Just like Aeroprakt of recent times, was interested in an aircraft but wanted some logical and safe engineering changes and was told in no uncertain terms a big NO. So I said forget it…… Same at Brumby Cowra, gave them my request for a change and was told NO, walked out the door……. Plenty of choices in this World, even for the military…….

    My Dingo digger with a 23hp Kohler V Twin motor did the same, no reason. $1000 in parts to fix…….

    Sad, but better to happen on the ground than in the air…..
  15. jackc
    I think it will be a hurry up AND wait deal, but it will happen one day……

    760 MTOW is on its way……they could have told us to all go suck eggs?

    In this day and age, how hard can it be to repair the problems? I bet if they were auctioned off to private enterprise they would find a way. But it’s far easier for Govt to just bin them and spend a few more billions on a replacement.

    Your skills of negotiation need to come to the fore, IF you don’t have a card?

    IF CASA have some pull on this ASIC Card b/s they may be a chance that the new boss Pip Spence may get a chance to look closer, rumour has it she has been working on quite a few things that GA and RAaus may benefit from, but it will be CASA driven.

    Be lucky to have chronic smokers and drinkers to pay for medical treatment needed because of their habit…….moist are broke and destitute, no money to pay for any medical treatment. People would say they deserve what they get, but they are still human beings and deserve consideration for medical treatment.

    Turbs, it’s complicated for newbies like me! OK for you guys who have been in the Aviation field at all levels, since the Dinosaur age 🙂 I just have a lot of learning to do and am prepared to do what is needed, think I am getting there, should have enough time before I croak, given luck…….

    I have downloaded the latest digital version VFRG V7 ( hate e-books) but have also ordered the print copy from CASA when they have it available. I rather print copies as I can easily book mark relevant pages so can easily refer to them as needed since the text makes reference to various sections on other pages. In for some study time, I think 🙂

    It looks to me that it’s almost impossible to prove your innocence against an accusation of breaching the rules, in some cases? WHY has all this got to be so complicated.
  25. jackc
    Looks like I will end up in CASA ‘gaol’ as I am bound to miss something, somewhere 😞.
