    The price I quoted was just for the instructor, aircraft on top of that.
  2. Student Pilot
    Seems people are getting more gullible, like the rest of the conspiracy theories.
  3. Student Pilot
    Last time I saw an RAA instructor he was charging $150 an hour, I think he should have used a mask when instructing like a burglar.
  4. Student Pilot
    We won't be needing instructors and engineers soon, CASA will have made aviation safer by putting all GA/RAA out of the air.
  5. Student Pilot
    You've never had a bad patch and tried to get the dole then? Then try and buy food while paying extortionate rent. Yep those dole bludgers have the best life.........🙄

    I saw a webinar advertised with CASA about low flying and wirestrikes. I went for more information and the detail needed for registering is extensive and personal with no guarantee of third party use of your data. It looks like the webinar was setup with a third party NOT CASA, privatising safety now? Is this the way CASA are going for "Public" safety information? Are they like most big companies now and selling your personal information? Why can't you just log on with an ARN and view the seminar?????? They are not helping their reputation of being d!cks to deal with and not listening to the people that they are supposed to be giving guidance and support. Am I being too critical? Did my computer dyslexia cause me to misread? Lots of questions.
  7. Student Pilot
    Yes but that'll never happen to CASA, brick wall. I'm glad I'm at the end of my career, in my 45 years of flying I have never had anybody realistic to deal with. As a pilot and an operator. That includes when they had regional bases.
  8. Student Pilot
    That's the crux of it, normally stringent and unrealistic yet let one go through like the Kingair pilot if that's what happened. Did he have a current medical? Date issued? Turbo you have some GA time, what's your experience with medicals or have you just been getting a private one?
  9. Student Pilot
    ANY heart problems/operations or even a stent requires a six month pause from flying. You cannot get a medical after any of those. The new medical requires all sorts of test including stress ultrasound and heart specialist report. Surely some of you have had a reeming with the medical Canberra mob? Atrocious service. From the people I talk to the CASA medical mob are the other extreme, they will not issue medicals without all sorts of specialists reports. All costing a lot, it's not uncommon for a late fifties or over sixties pilot having to pay 2k plus to get a medical. It then goes to CASA medical department to be assessed, taking up to two months and the day before the medical Dame extension date runs out. Not unusual then for CASA to demand more checks, example being a kidney stone 30 years ago. They then require scans and a specialist report. Any other country you can go to a nominated doctor and walk out with a medical. You can do with with a bus drivers licence in Australia and go out and drive a bus with 50 people on board. A pilot who flies a single seat aircraft (fire bombing/Ag) has to have the same medical as an airline pilot carrying 300+ passengers. Anything to do with CASA is a TOTAL balls up, no wonder GA is being exterminated.

    Settle down you lot, take a deep breath and relax. Expecting common sense from those who control aviation is castles in the sky.
  11. Student Pilot
    Ice 😁
  12. Student Pilot
    Utopia script
  13. Student Pilot
    What if the passenger was aware of all the issues and flew knowingly?
  14. Student Pilot
    Over hyped, just part of learning to fly. As FH said you keep learning every flight no matter how much flying you do.
  15. Student Pilot
    Whose actually building the western Sydney airport? Give it 20 years, it will be built out and people complaining about aircraft.
  16. Student Pilot
    1000 k's at 300 kph 😁
  17. Student Pilot
    Always flown straight A to B except over water, I tend to skirt around large areas of water.
  18. Student Pilot
    No idea
  19. Student Pilot
    Never heard that
  20. Student Pilot
    I can understand why that vid was made and pitched at Ag pilots. Some have done a quite a bit of flying and learned some bad habits. Some also think they know better and have worked out other ways of turning than balanced flight. Every year there are stall spin and loss of control with aerial applicators, some are getting cheaper insurance if their pilots have done a course and watched these type vids.
  21. Student Pilot
    Did they take information from early pioneers like Otto Lilienthal and the Australian Hargraves and then patent that?
  22. Student Pilot
    By using everybody else's information and research, patenting that same information as their own. Then litigating to keep others out of the air, the case against Glenn Curtis being and example.
  23. Student Pilot
    The Skyechos we have aren't connected to any avionics, completely independent of anything.
  24. Student Pilot
    I found it tedious but I have a short attention span. I think like the first one it is aimed at American (Ag) pilots who think they can turn quicker using lots of rudder and out of balance.
  25. Student Pilot
    Can't talk for other companies but ours has Skyecho and normal mode S transponder. Pilots use their own ipads which is the only visual representation of any traffic. Main tool is radio communication between pilots. There is no connection with a GPS for an indication from the ADSB. I have flown for other companies where traffic was indicated on a large screen GPS, optimum equipment.
