    i don't believe any raaus people will be charged with anything. maybe a payout for the fiance . there may be some repercussions from casa, they have been cracking down on ra since that accident anyway. the operations manual has already been rewritten to close the paraglider conversion loophole. from what i heard originally raaus was going to be shutdown altogether but they have been toeing the line doing what big brother have requested so they should survive. i was hoping a version of part 103 would come out of it but it doesn't look like it. at least with raaus i know the people i deal with and they are very helpful when ever i talk to them. if they were shut down we might not like what replaces them.

    i had a jabiru lsa 55 which i believe was the first jab sold serial 003. it was fitted with a 912 80 hp. fully certified for training . i think there were 3 of these conversions done under an stc in the early 90's.

    interesting thread. i got back into training today after a few months off. we did a brush up on effects of controls. left and right turns rudder only then aileron only. flying straight and level at 55 knts with flaps. then turning right and left in that configuration. instead of touch and goes we did missed approachs , flew down the runway 50 ft off the ground working my feet to keep on the center line. it was a great morning getting used to the tecnam again. a bit off topic except for the effects of controls i guess.

    Who are you talking to.

    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.
  12. 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.

    dumb comment. geoff was not well. he passed away in hospital

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

    different aircraft though. the ones we train in now are mono planes. and they run on petrol not castor oil

    2500 ft is the standard training height or why would 3 different instructors all use it.
  19. BrendAn
    did you teach raaus or ga, because i have never practised stalls below 2500 ft . not so far anyway.
  20. BrendAn
    yes, i am the only raaus student that was never taught anything.
  21. 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.
  22. BrendAn
    😁.

    i wonder if he keeps the oil on the full mark on the dipstick.
  24. 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.
  25. BrendAn
    3000 ft agl. probably because we train at 2500 ft
