  1. sorry i should have said i am only talking about uncontrolled airports.
  2. i mean how far do you go with radio calls, not how far they travel.😃
  3. where does it end though. are you going to broadcast your intentions every 30 seconds. you should be having a good look in both directions before you call entering and rolling.
  4. thanks for that. i just watched the series to the end. i wonder if that was thruster 88 that repaired the plane at cowra.
  5. If they are under 500 ft there should not be a problem in most parts of the country surely.
  6. That is a lot of timing gears.
  7. Found this. It was an air tractor.
  8. 20 year old killed in 2 seat aircraft on a property near Lake Cargelligo NSW this morning.
  9. I watched the aircrash investigations episode on that.
  10. they have been operating in canberra for a while , there might be some info available on how its working there.
  11. thruster 88 put up a great post a while back. here are thrusters big 3 to avoid for a long life in aviation. 1. avoid stalls in all phases of flight. 2. do not fly into imc. 3. don't do low level beat ups.
  12. doordash started drone deliverys at eastlands ringwood today. 7km radius
  13. we spoke about my radio interference a couple of weeks back. i think it is ignition or alternator noise. red said it is common with jabiru engines. when i listen to atis on the ground i do it at idle , the interference gets worse when the rpm goes up. atis comes from the raaf which is about 10 km away. in the air it seems to be a lot clearer. i guess thats line of sight.
  14. I think there are radios out there that don't work properly too. Quite often hear someone call up and it's that broken and muffled we don't know what they said.
  15. number 2 sounds cool. does a computer route the signals to the correct wires automatically. thats pretty amazing
  16. read your story in sport pilot. inspirational and a good role model for other kids.
  17. that was one serious storm,
  18. what a horrible year that was. 500 of the deaths were flying aeroflot.
  19. In 1972, the aviation world faced its darkest year, with a staggering 2,373 lives lost in plane accidents. Several tragic incidents contributed to this record number. Here are some of the major accidents: - Iberia Airlines Flight 602 – January 7, 1972 – 104 killed - JAT Flight 367 – January 26, 1972 – 27 killed - Sterling Airways Flight 296 – March 14, 1972 – 112 killed - EgyptAir Flight 763 – March 19, 1972 – 30 killed - Alitalia Flight 112 – May 5, 1972 – 115 killed - Aeroflot Flight 1491 – May 18, 1972 – 122 killed - Japan Airlines Flight 471 – June 14, 1972 – 85 killed - Cathay Pacific Flight 700Z – June 15, 1972 – 81 killed - British European Airways Flight 548 – June 18, 1972 – 118 killed - Prinair Flight 191 – June 24, 1972 – 5 killed - Lake Winnebago mid-air collision – June 29, 1972 – 13 killed - Interflug Ilyushin Il-62 – August 14, 1972 – 156 killed - Burma Airways Douglas C-47 – August 16, 1972 – 25 killed - Aeroflot Flight 558 – August 31, 1972 – 102 killed Aeroflot Flight 1036 – October 1, 1972 – 109 killed Aeroflot Flight 217 – October 13, 1972 – 174 killed Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 – October 13, 1972 – 29 killed Japan Air Lines Flight 446 – November 28, 1972 – 62 killed Spantax Flight 275 – December 3, 1972 – 155 killed These incidents have shaped the rigorous safety protocols we see today, ensuring safer skies for everyone. Let’s remember those who lost their lives and appreciate the advancements in aviation safety that have followed. What safety measures introduced after 1972 do you think have had the most significant impact on reducing aviation accidents?
