    Been a while since I've sat in a 185, 206, 210 or Agwagon but from distant memory they don't have fuel pressure only flow. Same with Fletcher, Brave, they only have fuel flow.

    With GA there is a mustering endorsement, anything similar in RAA? What is the syllabus for low level endo with RAA?

    Red, looks like a Whitman Tailwind derivative

    Gere biplane, looks rooly good. Where is it based? There is a bloke locally who flew a Fisher Biplane with one of those Rotec radials, sounded VERY good, he had a bit of an incedent down Tyabb way n bent it, not sure if it's going again yet.

    What a pretty biplane

    Yooa geenious Gazza

    Variation on Avid, same as Kitfox/Gazelle/Eurofox. Extended fuse and looks like the gear has been changed from nosewheel to conventional using same rear mounts.

    Emair MA-1 Think it was an indigenous Hawaiian Ag machine, 1820 Wright powered?
  9. Student Pilot
    Silly people, don't theyknow you can only fly into places like that with a tailwheel and gigantic tyres? For those that couldn't tell that was a sarcastic comment. A 182 is an underated bush machine.

    Mustang at Illawarra hangar mebe? They had a drogue towing contract I think, was it Craig Breedlove that pranged IVI when the canopy came off? The hangar with the Tiger looks a bit like Marshals? That was opposite and along one from hangar 17 of Air Ags. Lottsa stuff in there from a couple of Spits, a 109G and an Oscar, used to have a Lockheed 12 parked out the front in the early 80's. Ceres looks a bit out of place there.

    If you would have shown the whole airstrip it would have been clear with the fire bomber base at the other end, you can however see a red trail from the retardant overflowing as the bombers accelerate.

    I picked up my ASIC no charge, I think Post Offices no charge to pick up ASIC?

    So basically a side by side Ligeti Stratus?
  14. Student Pilot
    So your not criticising the inaction of the last 6ish years of Coalition (looked it up) but what Labour "Might" do? The privatisation of commonwealth airfields and the ASIC debarcle are 2 things the Libs and Nats have done (under lil Johnny) to help CASA wreck GA.
  15. Student Pilot
    I have been a bit jaded so not sure, aren't Libs and Nats in power? Meaning they have the power to do something with CASA? Why blame somebody in opposition for no action if the people who are in control won't do anything to rein in CASA? Am I missing something?

    Yoo a teckno nerd Gazza
  17. Student Pilot
    Albo's fault as usual, not being in power for more than a few years you'd think he would have fixed CASA by now ? CASA is running out of flying aircaft to regulate so the are moving into a growth industry, regulating drones.
  18. Student Pilot
    I think CASA OK's ipones as a second source for maps/charts, I recon too small for my oldfart eyes. I use ipad air, ipone too small when your trying to get more info like tapping on to get airfield details n such.

    Stalls

    Student Pilot replied to djpacro's topic in Aerobatics

    Yes turning stalls are different to straight ahead, you can show signs of a turning stall without doing a full blown upside down white knucle recovery. The point I'm getting at is if you can recognise the approach of a stall either straight or turning then spin training is unneccesary, CASA must think the same way, that's why spin training is not required. I do think that aerobatic training including spins helps pilots with their skills but it's not for everyone. Sscbd, there are times when practicing something that is unlikely to happen is dangerous, 2 engine failures on 1 wing on a 707 over Bass Straight is one example, the investigators said it was like practicing to die, you only have to do it once.

    With all the cross litigation the biggest part of the cost will be lawyers fees and charges, just the photcopying bill (at $50 a sheet or whatever they charge) would be in the millions

    I learnt to fly well before GPS were invented, of all the stuff I learned up to commercial I have only used wizz wheel for groundspeed. Just used compass and clock, never used 1 in 60 and flown most of the country including remote and dessert areas. GPS has taken a lot of stress out of cross country, I have an ipad with ozrunways but for most general work including fire work I use a cheap $2 program called motion X and only use ozrunways for frequencies and runway diagrams.

    Stalls

    Student Pilot replied to djpacro's topic in Aerobatics

    In the olden days you have to do a full stall, not a requirement now? I have seen some hairy chested instructor types try to frighten people by doing "Extreme" stalls, not the way to train. I can understand people have given up training after that.
  23. Student Pilot
    It's not the end of the world if people use non standard phrasing, to me as long as you get the message across as clear and consice as possible. I'd rather that than somebody prattling on and jamming up the radio waves.
  24. Student Pilot
    And learn to be diplomatic ?
  25. Student Pilot
    In an area where there are more than a few airfields it becomes tedious with pilots making 7 circuit calls even when there is no traffic. Common sense fella's, if there is no traffic there is no point in making 7 calls? What was wrong with different frequencies for CTAF's listed in ERSA? Working especially on a weekends becomes tiresome monitoring 2 or 3 frequencies with one constantly blaring postion reports many miles away.
