    Bring everything from https://www.casa.gov.au/licences-and-certificates/pilots/pilot-and-flight-crew-exams/pilot-exams/private-pilot-licence-aeroplane-exams#Permittedmaterial except big law books. School where you will be doing exam can loan all big law books for the exam, but they won't be much useful unless you are a lawyer. Focus on vfrg. Good luck at the exam!

    Interesting, curious to read POH regarding emergencies with RU if any difference from eg. Arrow, Sierra, Travelair... The gravity with help of jerking pitch&yaw would do the job..

    While ago Cessna installed inertia reels attached to the floor and bottom of the seat for free.

    If you can do full&free controls movements when the seat is fully back, then you're fine.

    You can test it, lift the pin, roll the seat all way back, then sit and see how far your arms and legs reach. Not good if the yoke is the only item for hands to grab. When taking off in Cessna, I hold the whole throttle, both the knob as well as throttle friction nut..

    looking same to me, although seat is closer to floor. https://www.wagaero.com/airframe-parts/cabin-components/seat-rails-rollers-stops/seat-rails/cessna-150l-m-a150l-m-152-all-seat-rail-inboard-faa-pma.html

    The aerodrome, taxiway markings are telling it is likely a certified aerodrome, which must satisfy legal requirements (eg obstacle clearance..). The trees in the background are optical illusion. I suspect the seat locking pin broke (not every cessna has AD implemented), or simply a pilot error.. I expect it will be covered on one of the youtube channels..

    You will probably end up buying both. Practicality-wise, buy whatever they use in your flight school ? ahh just seen "non-pilot" under your avatar.. Sims are great for instrument flying which comes at later stages of learning, but not much for ab-initio (maybe for procedures only). Make sure you have rudder pedals and use them in flight. If not, you will struggle to fly real aeroplane..

    I still have a cd with msfs from 2 decades ago which was the last time I've used it, however back then I didn't have knowledge that I have now. The reason for going xplane was the local flying school use it for sims (I think version 9 or 10), so decided to buy xplane for practicing at home. There were glitches both in "$ertified" xplane as well as in home version 11, but the latest version 12 was literally useless (unless you are flying autopilot, which you won't at the IR check). Latest msfs has better scenes/graphics, but really haven't played it much. I think msfs is more of a game vs xplane is more of a sim. I am hoping they will fix the xplane12.

    I reverted back to xp11. Xp12 is useless for practicing instrument procedures. When asked why the aircraft is bouncing in clouds, zero wind, with all default settings, they asked me to look outside whether any of controls is deflected. Mine is paid version, regretted purchase.

    I didn't understand was this an 5 hours engine or engine close to overhaul ? Glad to hear both of them safely on the ground.

    It's happening as we speak..

    YBAS-YTNK-YHLC-YBRM Not a straight line, but doable with each leg under 400nm. Also jet fuel is generally more available than avagas, and "cheaper" at $2 per lit. Refuelling of 150lit doesn't take any longer than avgas. But.. I guess 100-hourly and repairs could cost arm&leg.
  14. Bosi72
    A couple of observations here. "Downwind" is a broad term and can extend to 2-3 miles. It is better to use "early/mid/late" downwind (or any other leg). Also visual identification is responsibility of both aircrafts. When instructor saw you, he should've said something "I am at your N o'clock, level/low/high".
  15. Bosi72
    Probably too late, but at what feature (option) did you get text resizing? I found some options equally counterintuitive both at Avplan and Rwys, but for these you check the videos and/or ask support. (Avplan on old Samsung Note 9)

    I paid $1140.70 for 3rd party ($3mil liability only) for Cessna.

    Looks like usable weight is 235kg, However, I'm more curious about single (critical) engine performance at mtow. Interesting aircraft for sure..
  18. Bosi72
    Until they buy one of these.. ps: this was referred to me by "professional" driver long time ago..

    I would've expected the w&b would be done on paper once for several options and kept with other documents. E.g.: 1. solo + full tanks + max bags 2. dual + full tanks + max bags 3. family + full tanks + max bags and a PIC would know what are the max limits for particular aircraft. Good thing is the EFB's these days offer the option to create own aircraft with datums and envelopes, so calculating any combination is a matter of typing the weights. Be careful if importing an existing aircraft type, confirm that the datums and limits are matching your aircraft, because no two aircrafts are the same (eg. instruments, long range tanks, etc..)

    I don't think there is anything in regulations regarding the seating. If you are flying solo and your aircraft doesn't have operational restrictions (e.g. in some aircrafts PIC has to seat front/rear due to CoG, controls, instruments, etc...) However, if you are flying dual from RH seat and a non-pilot is sitting on LH side, that could be seen as instructing without instructors rating.

    The POH says the warning horn is activated if gears are not down and locked and throttle is 1/4 from idle. But your Mooney might be a different version. The best is to test and confirm in training area.
  22. Bosi72
    .. and there is a pause after U to confirm 3 greens. and 2nd check is PUFT on early final, PItch, Undercarriage, Flaps, Trim. That works for me in any aeroplane.

    "...The Katter's Australian Party state leader and experienced pilot..." "...It took the Traeger MP four years to obtain his pilot's licence and cost him $50,000..." Glad to hear he's ok.

    Your initial post didn't mention place of your residence. It sounded like you were living inside the restricted area. Regardless, as a general rule check the NOTAMS and fly "see and avoid". Defence won't publish time table of their flights. Submitting a flight plan is good idea as you might get a call from the Briefing office with valuable information relevant to your flight.

    You've answered the question yourself..
