Avdata are the enemy! I don’t know how many times I’ve received bills for ldg fees etc inc YSCB which I’ve never been there privately! It’s all about choice, if I can I’ll avoid the money grabbers at ever chance! -
Same here, I avoid dromes with rip off fees like the plague!
-
Alby Mangles, C337, barn find....entertaining😂 I used to like driving the suck me blow me twin
-
Airbus, way of the future......and that makes grubby Boeing mad knowing they have fallen behind!
-
The Max scenario has a lot of corruption behind it, commercial pressure at play! Training has always been a box ticking exercise riddled with ‘mates for mates’ thrown in! Commercialism drives any competitive industry!
-
I see that the Airlines will be required to incorporate UPRT (upset recovery training) in their training syllabus. Only effects operations with greater than 30 seats. The article (Aust Aviation) also does mention GA (private & commercial) won’t benefit as they are not being considered. I believe it’s too easy to get a plane ticket at the GA level, always has been so this will be interesting to see if this does filter down to the bottom end, probably not.

CAsA sure did get a right royal WTF from the low end of the industry when the idiots proposed that level of stupidity! All in the name of ‘safety’ mainly for IFR flights!
-
Eventually TX’s will be required for most A/C, (the way of the future in CAsA’s eyes) it’s only a matter of time. oddly enuf with today’s high tech gizmo’s in even the most rudimentary of flying machines we tend to look outside less than ever therefore needing TX’s even more! ASIC? A few hundred bucks hanging around yr neck, trouble is ya can’t spend it!

On condition is the norm these days for eng/props for Pvt Ops, was an “about time” ruling some years ago.

I’ve got a VH plane with numerous Bunnings Aerospace parts, after market parts, battery is like you would find in any Rec Vehicle, all legal👍
-
Anything that was designed for war was short lived. Longevity wasn’t their primary concern. Wood is a great medium, still is👍
-
Looks simple enuf to me but I guess some just see ‘Red’ at such sruff😂😉
-
Buying anything S/H is a risk, we’ve all probably been burnt sometime! The law’s an ass in this corrupt nation!
-
I’ve got both the Flight of the Phoenix movies, first one is a work of art, second one Hollywoodized! Although I did like J Cash’s intro song👍 whilst I’m sure all my fans will jump up and down about this but I found the movie Sully mostly awful! All over the place with numerous BS inaccuracies!

Turboprops on the tail; bright idea from Embraer.
Flightrite replied to Garfly's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
As with all these weasly ideas ‘different’ is hard to sell to a very entrenched market. Most people dislike flyi g they just wanna get there so speed is e eruthing! First of type is a huge risk! Can’t see it taking off beyond the curiosity stage? -
42 years from big city dromes to fly infested outback holes! Don’t assume!
-
How many times have you lot seen a fuel filter of any brand clogged or severely contaminated? In 50 years of tinkering with donks from lawn mowers to turbine donks I’ve never seen a severely effected fuel filter! get over it!😂
-
We should rejoice, what with so many of our fellow brethren out of work any opportunity to get a job even if for a short while is a good thing☹️ I wish them all the success but it won’t be easy, Aussie's are known to chop such new adventures off at the knees!👍
-
I detest QF, often known as the SkyGods (personnel opinion only) so any Airline that comes along I embrace👍

Was taxiing out one day in a PA42 when the tower said I need to return to the Co apron. Seems a mech just realised he couldn’t find his lock wire pliers....shut down he took the cowl off and there they where sitting atop the PT6.......it was a nervous flight after that!
-
You are one brave soul flying over tiger country in one of those things😉👍Your music puts me to sleep😂
-
I hope no one asks how a wing produces lift otherwise we are stuffed!😂😂👍😉
-
The big boys could eaily design a SE jet Airliner due the huge output of today’s donks but will they! Nope never will all due to ‘safety’, just ask CAsA what safety means.......$$$😉 Twins do give you options, SE simply has no option other than you are landing/crashing, same thing😉
-
A bone done is probably a good idea in an ultralight with lots of metal in close proximity to your CPU. Even with a full harness adjusted tightly of at least 5 points it’s surprising the amount of body movement one gets, Aero’s attest to that!👍
