    [MAP] I don't see a problem in facilitating voting by all who are entitled to vote. Given the delays inside Australia Post it is not unreasonable for RAA, within the rules, to extend the time of closing of the ballot to ensure that all those who might miss out because of delays don't. In times past a time 7 days after postage was indicative of receipt - I read here that some people are still waiting for ballot papers.. my preference is to enfranchise people, not disenfranchise them.

    If you get thrown out it will be because of unorthodox spelling, rotten grammar and atrocious punctuation - we are still trying to work out if you have brought anything or anyone into disrespute!!

    Obviously Roger Henning has never applied for an ASIC.

    You could always make a suggestion as to the electoral method you might like. Personally I favour the multiple preferential which provides for the two or three directors not hated by the majority. I suspect that the method to be used to count the votes in this election is first past the post which only delivers directors supported by power blocks and may deliver directors not favoured by the majority. Send your suggestions to the Michaels and Don. AEC has a model for this. The problem with incorporation under any Act involves a default position of putting bad law into company (or association) rules.

    Or by buying a sausage you shouldn't expect a steak. The only way to get a steak is to buy a steak

    Not really. Some of these people are entirely self educated or learned it from mates why copy an inept politician when you can screw over the world on your own.

    Correct, but most RAA planes and low end GA use Kollsman type altimeters. Not sure about GA but I am sure/ certain that a lot of RAA planes could do with a recalibration of even the simplest type as suggested by the Kollsman link. It isn't rocket science!!!

    Maybe your non aviation friends have been reading the Daily Telegraph/ Courier Mail or listening to Ray Hadley/Alan Jones. There are some dud mechanics out there whose work has given Jaribu a bad name. Maybe RAA/CASA should also indicate the owner and L2/LAME in their reports.

    Try this to calibrate your altimeter, if you know your altitude and local pressure Adjusting the Kollsman Altimeter

    Exactly what is it that a director of a business is supposed to do - and how do you enforce it.
  11. coljones
    Government is entirely different. There are whole groups of journalists running the ruler over every politician and their proposals. Business is different, no body is watching what the directors are doing behind closed doors and very little is said about director performance for fear of libel suits. Among directors you will find the greatest range of unhung bastards screwing over the lowly shareholders, members and employees. Despite ASIC directors can and do get away with murder.

    Do you have a vested interest in the sale or operation of drones?
  13. coljones
    The previous administration and their employees left a couple of bombs in the cupboard. The current admin is doing a pretty good job. I would vote for the 2retiring directors (if I get some ballot paperback)

    It is first past the post, the way most entities run elections. You could suggest a better way and have it put as a special resolution. RAA is much better than a lot of organisations where the only notice calling for nominations is buried among the sex shop ads in the Bridport edition of the Launceston Advertiser. In one organisation that I am in the only resolutions entertained are for the removal of directors - otherwise the business is run by the board in secret cabal. The shareholders are treated as unwashed scum and camped out with the mushrooms.

    But it is much cheaper to get the RAA XC than an RPL XC. So RPC with XC to fly the plane AND an RPL (or higher) with Controlled airspace endo to get you into controlled airspace. You won't need an RPL XC endo.
  16. coljones
    You need an RPC to fly the RAA plane and an RAA XC to fly it more than 25nm AND you will need the RPL with airspace to get you into the Camden airspace.
  17. coljones
    You will need the RPC XC endo to fly the plane more than 25nm. You will need an RPL with Controlled airspace to get into Camden (controlled) airspace (the last 2 miles)

    you don't need a transponder for class D (or G)

    Nor is there any evidence that it was hanger rash, wind sock pole, a take your pick. I would say that the statements made by the pilot were evidence, just unsubstantiated. There is sufficient evidence around about the negligent use of drones for a collision with a drone to remain part of the theory.
  20. coljones
    If it wasn't a drone then it must have been Superman, a flying pig or a flying toaster - there are a lot of those around. Or it could have been the One Nation Campaign plane flying under the radar.

    Nerds don't perve. Nerds aim for the stars. It may well have been bought on eBay, where normal rules don't apply.
  22. coljones
    But the same issues would confront the vast majority of PPLs.
  23. coljones
    Flying drones near buildings, people airports nd controlled airspace is not a trivial matter light aircraft & drone collision? -Parafield
  24. coljones
    Including GA pilots. Having a CASA licensed is no proof that one doesn't behave badly. Your comments about local airstrips close to controlled airspace is a little laughable and doesn't reflect reality or practicality. With the death of GA Camden has become a bit of a morgue especially during the week. It used to be weekend GAAP but is now D 7 daylight days a week. Thanks

    It might be a medical standard but is it appropriate or reasonable?
