ABC article alleging "hobby aircraft" not safe
Area-51 replied to ClintonB's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
I am extremely disappointed with the lackluster turnover rate of replenishing on Marketplace and lack of community support by the media companies toward minority interest groups... It is stifling the development of my hobby aircraft pursuits. âšī¸ -

I just ordered six of these units for my driveway off AliExpress; my AI reception lady apps suggested i feed in images of all my friends before the units arrive and are installed... đ¤ˇđŊââī¸ sorry the title has bad language translation... https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/s/N7Iq60g9JJ

Incident at Moorabbin 08/01/25

Maybe the airfix glue holding the wheel on was not correctly applied perhaps? đ -
Who is still trying to work out difference between "bicycle" and "fire hydrant"???? How many times did you try and fail before giving up and returning attention to something real like "hobby plane" project on kitchen bench???

Aircraft made on kitchen bench that real humans can climb into and fly into a state of constant peril and suspense of disintegration using 100mph gaffa tape... IMG_0419.MOV -

But the ABCD piggle man said in the beginning that the majority of crashes were 27 fatalities in 20 GA Aircraft crashes đ¤ˇđŧââī¸đ¤ˇđŋââī¸đ¤ˇđŊââī¸ So GA has more crashes than hobby aircraft made of balsa wood tissue paper and pva glue upon masonite kitchen table... Piggle man made no mention of Sport & Recreation or LSA Factory Built Aircraft đ¤ˇđŊââī¸đ¤ˇđŋââī¸đ¤ˇđŧââī¸. I am very confused. What is it exactly that Piggle man is trying to communicate here? My 6yo nephew just finished building a Dash-8 lego hobby plane and everything on it is working fine... This was very poor story telling by piggle... -
Correct; "IPAD FLIGHT RATING" ... Did not pass exam ...

Hiring a pilot will entail a commercial aspect to the flying; so the aircraft being a GA Piper will automatically qualify. You are better off trying a forum site such as "pprune.org" for this sort of question. You would want to provide a bit more information; are the flights day time or night time? Are the weather conditions to be flown VFR or IFR? How many passengers will be on board; Are the flights instructional? etc etc.

SkyEcho 2 - ADSB light doesn't come on...

The clicking will likely be the intercom. I have a Flightcom and it clicks. I have read on other forums that PS intercoms have better filters and are better quality product; no clicking. -
Bottle of Smirnoff into the tank will ensure fuel meets required certification standards, water ingress is contained, deadly emissions are reduced, and jobs are created... "underpants save lives"...

Mandatory "realtime" ADSB IN/OUT would assist the sausage factory pilots to notice the proximity of other aircraft while they are fixated on their ipad conducting their Defacto Instrument flying. After 250hrs I am realising the same type of people that reverse the car and shear off the open drivers door with a bollard, or enter the underground parking with the tailgate fully open, or get on the nightly news showing their car perched up in a tree, or continue driving down the highway on a steel rim after the tire has long departed are also able to somehow get loose with an aircraft; there is just less of them; but they are still ever present and dangerous. Maybe training aircraft should have a designated sqawk code that activates some kind of proximity alarm for other aircraft to know there is sausage about?
