    Referring to my last post.I shouldn't blame raaus it's probably more to do with evolution than them. Most people want to go faster and further,I understand that. It's just a pity there is no place for the lower end.

    There are those of us happy just to fly low performance aircraft in our local area. It's a safe and economical way to get In the air, but the governing body is leaving us behind. The cost of Training and registration and the lack of instructors is a big hurdle. I know people who would like to pursue this sector of the hobby but can't be bothered, it's just too hard now. Raaus consider a 200k LSA as the standard ultralight these days. I know I have gone on about this before.

    there is a great post from thruster88 if i can find it, he listed 3 or 4 rules that will keep you safe if you don't break them.

    And even pilots with 10.000 hrs still have accidents. That's the bit I worry about.

    foreign object fell between pedals and he lost control. once you drop something you have no chance of picking up near the pedals. luckily this pilot survived.

    Pilot survives fiery light plane crash at Barnard, Queensland - ABC News WWW.ABC.NET.AU Emergency services were called to a property south-west of Rockhampton this morning. The 30-year-old pilot freed himself from...

    how do you get on training in a lightwing. i was looking at one but advised not to get it for training because they weigh nearly 300 kg and mtow is 480 . 180kg for 2 people and fuel ?

    a plane went down in a paddock near the aerodrome at 11.30, maybe just an engine out. although the news report said the police had grave fears for the pilot.

    I think there is a couple of live ones on there.. they might need to update you reckon.

    you know there is a list of l2s for each state in your raas membership portal. has the town they are in and their mobile number.

    It's probably me that's wrong. I haven't flown for a couple of months. I know the runway is 90 at our end . The hangar is quite a bit higher . I will ask one the other blokes that are based there. Bosi derailed my thread by pouncing on my mistake if it is one . The question was if you know the height can you just dial in the altimeter instead of using the broadcast qnh. And I now know I can. 👍

    It covers a large area . More than I thought it would. How can area 30 have one qnh when the weather pattern of eastern Victoria is different to Melbourne and western Vic.
  18. BrendAn
    Would there be that much difference between the RAAF base and west sale. We use the RAAF base qnh. It's only 10 km away.
  19. BrendAn
    I am not sure about your elevations. I thought the western apron was 130 and runway 9 is 90 ft . I had a Dynon panel and a steam gauge and I always set both to the awis qnh. We fly 500 ft circuits at 620 on the altimeter. What have you got for yltv It is 180 ft there.

    They are amazing instruments when you think how they react to such minute pressure changes.
  22. BrendAn
    i think its on most of the larger regional airfields. we only have it because its at the raaf base 10km away.

    Thanks red. Atis is an automatic broadcast that runs 24/7. You just tune in to get wind speed and direction ,temp ,dewpoint and qnh.
  24. BrendAn
    when we are doing preflight checks we always switch to atis and put in the latest qnh . if you are flying out of the same place all the time why not just turn the altimeter to the known height, like outside our hangar it is 130 ft asl. wouldn't that be the same result as the atis advice or am i thinking this wrong.
