  1. i wondered about that. why would you do anything besides follow the circuit anyway. i can't see any reason to but i don't know much.
  2. At our airfield runways 9, 5 and 14 are right hand circuits. 27 , 23 and 32 are left hand. This is to avoid conflict with traffic taking off from the RAAF base 10 km away .
  3. sorry i should have said i am only talking about uncontrolled airports.
  4. i mean how far do you go with radio calls, not how far they travel.😃
  5. 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.
  6. thanks for that. i just watched the series to the end. i wonder if that was thruster 88 that repaired the plane at cowra.
  7. If they are under 500 ft there should not be a problem in most parts of the country surely.
  8. That is a lot of timing gears.
  9. Found this. It was an air tractor.
  10. 20 year old killed in 2 seat aircraft on a property near Lake Cargelligo NSW this morning.
  11. I watched the aircrash investigations episode on that.
  12. they have been operating in canberra for a while , there might be some info available on how its working there.
  13. 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.
  14. doordash started drone deliverys at eastlands ringwood today. 7km radius
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. number 2 sounds cool. does a computer route the signals to the correct wires automatically. thats pretty amazing
  18. read your story in sport pilot. inspirational and a good role model for other kids.
  19. that was one serious storm,
  20. what a horrible year that was. 500 of the deaths were flying aeroflot.
