  1. You just have to talk to people trying to make a living at Bankstown.........no good reports.
  2. In the last 30 years or so I have had nothing but obstruction and obfuscation from CASA, as a pilot, operator and contractor.
  3. There's a lot more that hasn't been released or reported on, they are in a lot more trouble than just fiddling the books.
  4. There seems to be a lot of porkies being told. Casualty figures being one, an entire block flattened with a market and flats leveled. They said two people died? There was a vid around how Russian tanks are being taken out by cheap drones. Show'd a hovering drone dropping a small package into an open hatch then a pfffff. Are Russians are going to be sitting with an open hatch in a hostile area? The resultant explosion wouldn't have blown the foam off your coffee.
  5. Using old aircraft with 20,000 hours for aeromedical (Even if it's just supplies) is no longer acceptable. A turbine powered aircraft is way more reliable than two recips that were designed 70 years ago. GA is in such a mess they either have high time old worn out Cessnas/Pipers or million dollar turbines, nothing in between.
  6. Why would you use an ultralight when a drone would be quieter surveillance and have zoom capability?
  7. Like any low level operations a reccy before flying low into the block to pick the hazards is SOPs. Can miss them or temporarily forget about them, most line strikes the pilot knew about them. With mustering private ops there never used to be much training, a so called low level check was all that's needed.
  8. Always liked that design, with a 503 or 582 it should be a good performer.
  9. So sad. Pressing on into bad weather. If you positively have to get there....................drive.
  10. The answer is no landing fees, the main income is for the parasitic avadata. The income that the councils get after avdata take their percentage (Anybody know what that is?) would be buggar all.
  11. Now Nev, you're just trying to provoke 😁
  12. My bad Captain Gazza, If a thread goes any more than 2 pages I loose focus 😆
  13. Too many frequencies can distract, you would think there would only be one frequency priority close to the helipad.
  14. Like the PG Taylors "Frigate Bird", he is an underrated aviator.
  15. It was a graceful design, looks like a control system failure ☹️
  16. A Mirage arrived at Pays restoration a week or so ago
  17. The only one that looks to be struggling is the Javelin, nose up.
