    Sounds like a kid obsessed with flying. Or are you saying Northam criminals are also experienced pilots. Tyabb airfield is near Frankston and hastings. You can times your wa crime by 100 to get to the crime levels around there. Tyabb has no problems. Same with Latrobe valley and Shepparton. As I said before the locals at the airfield are the people to talk to.

    Bindoon would be handy to Perth but we live in RAAF east sale airspace here and you have to wait till they knock off on Friday before you can go for a fly. You don't want that.

    they are only an upgrade from the pc9s . when i was a kid i used to love watching the macchis , mirages and f111s at the sale raaf base. turbo props just don't sound as good.

    i would ask the locals at the northam airfield. i bet they don't have any problems.
  5. BrendAn
    do they also have a maintenance training facility. lycos would make sense if there students doing those courses. lots of them to work on when they go out into the world.

    thats ok but no need to insinuate that he might have topped himself.

    Give it a rest. I was joking. You are quite happy to dish it out. Stop sulking and stop the thread drift as requested.

    great, getting my arse kicked again. got the message , sorry
  10. BrendAn
    different aircraft though. the ones we train in now are mono planes. and they run on petrol not castor oil
  11. BrendAn
    2500 ft is the standard training height or why would 3 different instructors all use it.
  12. BrendAn
    did you teach raaus or ga, because i have never practised stalls below 2500 ft . not so far anyway.
  13. BrendAn
    yes, i am the only raaus student that was never taught anything.
  14. BrendAn
    2500 is the height we train at normally. with a 500 ft separation from cloud thats 3000ft. would you prefer to do stalls at 500 ft. and i do need to brush up on everything. i haven't flown since september.

    😁.

    i wonder if he keeps the oil on the full mark on the dipstick.
  17. BrendAn
    big deal. i just wanted to ask why . i was waiting to go on a training flight at bairnsdale one day and the cloud was quite low. the instructor checked the awis and said if the cloud is below 3000ft we can't train.
  18. BrendAn
    3000 ft agl. probably because we train at 2500 ft
  19. BrendAn
    why did i get a caution over the cloudbase height
  20. BrendAn
    unregistered flying can't be illegal. otherwise birds would be in trouble😁
  21. BrendAn
    your right . i was thinking of my training. raaus are not allowed to train unless the cloud base is above 3000 ft.
  22. BrendAn
    i passed a kitfox fuselage on a trailer last friday looked new but it had the dummy radial cowl. near rosedale victoria.

    Why are you commenting at the same time saying you know nothing about it and have read very little. Try reading the thread and coroners report then comment.
  24. BrendAn
    So casa has their bum covered. I understand what you are saying now. But what becomes of raaus will still be casas decision.

    51. 52. Mark Bland is an experienced pilot and a member of the Mount Beauty Airport Committee. He had planned to fly that morning but noted that the weather forecasts suggested it was unsuitable for recreational flying. The weather radar had shown rain across the state and strong winds at altitude. Mr Bland saw Mr Farrell’s aircraft take off from Mount Beauty – Runway 3232 to the north. He was surprised by this considering the prevailing weather. Although it wasn’t raining at the time of take-off, there was still low cloud on the ridges and hills surrounding the Kiewa Valley and he estimated the cloud base was 2,000 to 3,000 ft “at best”.33' a vfr pilot taking off with a 2000 ft cloud base.
