    Just seen this post. Let me know when in Tyabb, happy to take you/your family for a flight. No $$ required.

    Cessna 150 dual in YLEG $264. Send me a PM if interested.

    Sounds like one of the Nullarbor servos. Call servo nanager and offer him $20 to give you a lift..

    This pilot was practicing glide approach day after day, but unfortunately wasn't ready for engine failure after takeoff. https://youtu.be/22OfCmHfCSY?si=1m6mZvTB8RZdKMJZ&t=220s

    I suggest doing a session of full-stop landings. Lots of flying ccts are spent on Touch&Go's where student's can make it perfect, but some will fail with full-stops. Assuming "flaring high" is the issue, just before takeoff roll stop for ~10 sec and pay close attention on the ground, runway edges, features. Expect the same picture when you land. If non controlled aerodrome, you may want to join instructor (or responsible person) to walk and inspect the runway. Windsock might be another reference point. Don't initiate flare if at the top level or above. Keep coming down. Where to look: generally eyes to the end of runway, however you don't need to look that far to "turn on" peripheral vision. Try an exercise when driving a car. Look at the broken lines where they becoming continuous, then look what you see on the sides, how far is curb, gravel, etc..

    There is no magic pill to guarantee successful flying/landings. As with anything, don't give up! If it takes 6, 7, 10 go arounds, let it be, but don't give up. Thats why are you here today, not giving up and well done for that ! Try writing down on a paper circuit proceure, what exactly do you do, where do you look, at what point in circuit, write to details and discuss with instructor. Yes, it will be different picture and circuit altitudes when flying to another aerodrome, but write for your aerodrome. Speeds, flaps, prelanding checks, posistions should be the same for any aerodrome. Once you discuss, do armchair flying. It is like Damped Sinusoidal curve, there are ups and downs, but eventually it settles. Practice is the key. General rule is: fly balanced, especially in turns, keep the ball in the centre and nose on (or slightly below) horizon. Ball is your primary instrument in turns, but don't be focused on one thing only. Keep flying!

    Congrats! I've heard rebate is applicable to transponder only, not av30 ? Can you please confirm. Also how many working hours ($) for installation? Ballpark figure is fine 🙂 Thanks!

    Short answer - Yes.

    Welcome to the forum ! I see some similarities with Giles 202 aerobatic aircraft, except your aircraft has smaller rudder, or the photo could be misleading. Curious what are the spin characteristics ? As with anything in the World, if the price is right, there will be buyers. Cheers & Good luck!

    Meanwhile Airbus a350 burns to ashes within 20mins on the ground whilst several firetrucks are trying to extinguish it. What Rate of Descent a pilot need to set from 39000ft in case some bad lithium battery decide to burn?

    How many Ham radio operators are on this forum? 73's

    Whilst Japanese are highly organised, disciplined and proud nation, they are still humans, with common "flaws", therefore they should not be idolized. The lady at the photo below looks like having a backpack. However, I am now more concerned about ATC's, pilots and other survivors wellbeing.

    Several years ago, a friend of mine and I were hunting in the middle of bush, no reception, and whilst waiting for deer to appear, we chatted about PLBs that we both recently purchased. A friend, who is not technically savvy, asked me to demonstrate how to test. We both did the same tests on our devices, but his Plb responded with some additional Led flashes.. About 30mins later, a message on my Sat phone from my Mrs. arrived asking what happened to a friend of mine!? I realised that those additional Led flashes were actually for real. A quick call to Amsa was just in time, the helicopter in Traralgon had engine started and was about to depart. A couple of days later a friend had a phone call from Amsa and GMA asking him to bring the device for analysis. The seal was of course intact, but device still somehow raised real alarm. He got replacement device, and hopefully they found the root cause. Lessons learnt: never test your Plb without mobile phone coverage.

    Whether we liked it or not, the AI is getting more and more into cockpits. It won't be too long until airliners become single pilot ops (and mostly as an observers). Once that happens, the cars will fly, and drivers will be the passengers telling computers where to fly. Happy New Year !

    Here is good read for anyone flying in the mountains. https://www.aviation.govt.nz/assets/publications/gaps/caa-gap-mountain-flying-may-2021-web.pdf

    I usually go throgh Glenburn gap (GBR), plenty of options, but Kilmore would do the job too.

    I picked stable high pressure day, with light winds as I know how the mountain wave sounds from the ground. The "clear" areas are usually filled with fallen trees and they are not "soft". Fly high (8500ft) and close to Jamieson Licola rd.

    I had dilemma: 30mins $5k vs 15mins $10k p.a. Happy to drive longer.

    All ipads are coming from the factory with gps and wifi, but not all models are coming with 4G/5G cellular modem (e.g. same as mobile phones), hence significant difference in pricing. My experience with basic ipad (no cellular) was very poor GPS reception even when external GPS dongle was used plus connected to the phone hotspot. I know the 4g/5g towers are used to improve gps precision, but either they have installed very poor gps chip, or they are purposely degrading the gps data on non-cellular models. Apple (and others too) have done similar in the past. I gave up and ended up buying an expensive gps+cellular ipad mini.

    Not only RAAus.. a friend of mine (fATPL) is also struggling with planning and uses Naips directly instead of OzRwys. Interestingly, I don't see much topics asking for help from AvPlan users?

    If it's stolen, the chances are higher to find it on marketplace/gumtree/ebay.. The next best chance is if thief is an amateur, and leave the hex but turn the adsb transmit on, in which case you might check the adsb tracking sites. Unfortunately even real transponders are "disappearing" from the aircrafts. As with mobile phones, emei numbers can be re-flashed. Hope it will show up somewhere..
