Every time i fly i feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing i am helping all the trees and plants upon the earth to breath more co2 and become more prosperous across the earth's surface with their little talked about ability to fart out moisture and oxygen đ¨đģââī¸
Have done this conversion. The GA cfi will consider total hours of aviation experience in your log book along with any existing airframe and or nav endorsements.
Bare in mind the GA school may want to milk some extra value out of you, so it pays to shop around first.
The easiest and cheapest pathway forward to big pants aviation is to complete Ra certificate with navs before rpl conversion which will include both written and flight exams. You can apply for a CASA ARN number on line straight away.
A conversation with any GA flight school will give you a clear picture of the steps required.
Depending where you are located be prepared and expect that you may also require an asic! đ
True, but we are deep enough into the post now to allow for some expected divergence...
The media are clearly at a total loss as to how this was all achievable without hitting any buildings.
đ¤ Rotax officianados recommend nothing below 1800rpm. No idea what Jabiru recommend; very seldom discussed. But Rotax gets plenty of idle discussion on idle speed! Not sure if this is related or answers the question but is probably enough to detract the conversation sideways for a while and eventually enter the subjective area of boeing đ¤ˇđģââī¸
The issue with the business model, like most, is that its "cost" incentive driven as opposed to "performance" incentive driven; broadly one of the two above dynamics never end well for anybody due to the presiding entity calling the shots... Someone mentioned the word Boeing; yes, exactly, case in point.
Research "Flightship" and you will discover what caused the project to be renamed and owner to relocate overseas.
Its a great concept for many reasons, and hope they succeed.
The blue oil hose could be a Parker aviation grade product line; google the reference numbers on the hose.
You might want to check the Bristell parts catalogue to see what is factory under the hood. Anything 'on' the motor including fuel pumps is required to be Rotax factory spec. Anything running 'to' the motor needs to be Bristell factory spec. So check first before assuming things have been mod changed without a log book entry. Its quite possible the fuel supply line is Bristell factory installed.
When will the incubation, sorry confiscation, sorry, correction, sanctuary, damn dit it again... when will the contamination, far out... Let's start again... When will the quarantine huts be settled at each side of the border?
