  1. From what I understand, you can carry cargo under a class 2. Would flying a aircraft to a new owner technically count as a cargo flight?
  2. No? I just a job there unless I'm missing something?
  3. It kinda frustrates me that RAAus is constantly being criticized for being unsafe and AOPA has this attitude of RAAus shouldn't exist. Heck, they accused RAAus and CASA being corrupt when my story was starting to circulate. RAAus is doing their best to keep the standard up with all the resources given to us. I do agree that some things can be done better in terms of training like adding some topics that CPL/PPL cover as I feel initial training is a bit too basic for a bygone era but this story is just... I don't know that to describe it. Biased, I guess? The media keeps getting a lot of things wrong about aviation or overhypes the story (take the eithad tyre blow out for example) and its just gets on my nerves. We are constantly getting young new pilots and stories like this will make them think twice and scare the general public. I reckon that there should be a journo that specializes in aviation that understands aviation. I would argue that LSA's are safer than GA given that a lot of the EU built LSA's have airframe parachutes and the modern avionics to boot. Cirrus are the only ones in GA that airframe parachutes and will challenge you to find an GA airframe that has one.
  4. Just wondering if anyone knows if there is hangers that are for lease in Wagga Wagga and how much are they per month? I might be moving to Wagga for an ARO position soon and will need to find somewhere to park 7315. Thanks in advance
  5. What do you mean by "uhhh... locals"? I'm guessing you mean by wasted blokes at the pub?
  6. Welcome to my word vomit. Its a little joke I have as I was whinging and whining to the media like a pom would.
  7. Never heard of it
  8. If its RAAus, Maxine will be sending out an email to all members next week.
  9. People are giving up/mocking on koala even before they started flying. I think it's still worth a go as there might be something even we didn't think about. Even Stefan Drury covered it a few days ago. But the max might be a bit big to start off thou. Maybe a E190 or E170 might be a good starting point and are more comfortable than a 737 with leg room wise (going off my experience with air north)
  10. It means No worries
  11. Just send it!
  12. Roger that thanks!
  13. I'll leave this here if anyone wants to watch it. I'll be uploading twice a month so watch this space. At the time of uploading this, the series is currently in VIC.

  14. I'm lucky enough that I work at YESP that I can fly myself to work at certain times of the year and build time as well plus a beaut view 🙂

  15. If anyone is interested in watching the seminar, I'll leave the teams link below. https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_YTdmNjI5MDEtNDNiYi00YjNlLWI4YTctZGYzOWU5N2FiMzQy%40thread.v2/0?context={"Tid"%3a"70a593b6-9064-47f5-9925-39d2dc35261c"%2c"Oid"%3a"0b1a0b94-31c2-4d7d-a946-e2869c10f147"}
  16. The Editor for sports pilot did mention in a letter to the editor section that controlled airspace access will be the next big focus after class G. It could be a few more years of waiting though.
  17. Is there a special batch/ colour code that jabiru uses or can it be any shade of white?
  18. Hey all, I was wondering what type of mags that Jabiru uses as I'm looking at the JP EDM 350 and it only takes slick or bendix mags. It would be a great help if you could help me with this and I don't want to annoy Jabiru with my constant questions.
  19. If he's bit of a, what's the word? Hot headed brash idiot? Then I'll stay away from him. He felt a bit off to me and the attitude did not mesh with me as he felt like he was potentially compromising aero-nautical safety.
  20. Has EAA always had ego/money hungry problem?
  21. Yeah, I put my hand up for 7315 to be displayed and now it's given me a good excuse to do up the livery as I don't really like the look of it XD. I was wondering for future ref. It's kinda a shame we cannot fly in as it would bring massive value to all pilots and the general public.
  22. Just wondering if Avalon allows aircraft to fly in during the airshow like Oshkosh or does the RWY close?
