How would the situation be interpreted? If the student had gained his Pilot Certificate and as yet had not attained his cross country endorsement, bear in mind the cross country is endorsement. Without the cross endorsement the pilot could legally fly around the airport for years gaining hours and skills, he can even fly till he has to do his BFR. KP

The 11th Commandment :- Thou shalt not get caught. Is relevant in this situation. KP

"Explanatory Notes".. Hmmmmmmmm? Normally when one needs to get a view across every point must be covered, not a stone left unturned. A believable story. Could be called, "Fibbing by way of exaggeration". KP

No federal government business here, we are talking about RAAus running at a deficit and only what I am hearing how good things are ticking over. If that is all good I would hate to see the activities if things are bad. KP

deficit of $216,477

Hello Oscar. Here is a reply to your post #152. I have no need to go and track what has happened because I had been politely looking about (getting a good grasp) during the development stages of these fiascos that is when the fiascos were developing legs. I am suggesting every one go and have a look about and be careful of what one takes on board as gospel. There is a lot of guff out there and we are expected to believe it, but have a look and it will not fit. I will not be sharing my knowledge just imagine how it will be manipulated this forum is a good example, I have tried a couple of times and been ostracised. No more find it for your selves. A good example:- Turbo had a look about look what he has found. What is the 2017 figures? Go back to my post #132 (i) Jab engine (ii) The lobby work (iii)The flying schools/China. See what can be gleaned. I will not share my knowledge. Oscar that link in your post #152, have you put any consideration, could it be a Dorothy Dixer? How would ELAAA handle the Jabiru Engine issue? Nothing like RAAus that is for sure. I know one thing it would not have gone so public. To help the forumites with the Jab issue - go and look at the You Tube Senate Equirey of Barry O'Sullivan taking Skidmore to task, and it is quite obvious that he has not been briefed correctly about the issue, his advisors had lied to him by fact of omission. Barry knows what went on but getting people to admit is another matter. See when he was given the wrong information the line he used regularly. The burden of the question is ................ . KP

Thank you Turbo.. Great to see a thinker and searcher. Deficit $227,535 that was 2016 just wonder what 2017 must be worse - governing by the silenced and the defending. The interesting one is accommodation, meetings, travel $155,213 up from $96,646. Wonder what the surprise for 2017 will be. KP

Has me befuddled as to why it was deleted, as you say site rules.. But which one? I am always cautious with my content. re. Jab Engine. Just imagine how these bush barristers will dissect the handling protocol. So do not put contentious material out in public. KP.

CASA is the overseer given the duty by the government of the day. The government is the rule maker by way of Acts and Regulations. CASA is a bit out of control because of the diligences of the transport minister, see what Barnaby will do. The last minister was more interested where they were going to eat that night. CASA can do audits. There is another I am working on -- how ICAO audits work. CASA gets a visit from ICAO sanctioned ladies and gentlemen occasionally. CASA had an audit performed by ICAO end of last year have not heard any results. Have a look at this link will help with some aviation information. Assistance to the Aviation Industry KP

This takes a bit to fathom. CASA is in a position to oversee all things aviation in Australia. CASA is not the manager. The government of the day is the manager of aviation activities looks very much that the government is not doing its duty. Look at what is happening with the ministerial positions they are at sixs and sevens, so if that is the case problem starts at the top. KP

I have had some brilliant teachers.. KP

So where has all the funds gone? Isn't RAAus operating on a negative budget. Not sure of the exact figures wasn't there a surplus funds sitting in investment funds, I think it is all nearly gone. KP

Back again had to do some work I see your comments Oscar I will digest them are make some amendments to your story.. At a glance there a couple not stacking up but they stack up for those who do not question. KP.

There is my thoughts Bruce.. You have flown your plane for 10 years now all of a sudden not enough stickers on it. The fact is it was OK once and now it is very unsafe without the stickers on it. You get told the story, "CASA audit" Hmmmmmmmmmm? CASA has to be at the RAAus building to perform an audit, some of those schemes come solely out of the RAAus office without help from elsewhere. I have the same problem I know your pain Bruce. KP.

I will not answer or expand on those points on a public forum. I have said, too much already. If ever I am put before a court of law I will be able answer and expand on all, the information is not flimsy. If ever that happens that day I will not be operating with riddles, winks, nudges - will be facts. Just imagine if some of those facts got on this forum the mind boggles as to where that information will end up and of course the twisting. As Turbo said it is mostly out there only needs researching. I resent the remark "silence is the smarter option" there are those here who can put the jig saw together without having it all spelt out to them. (I have facts and they are not being shared on an open forum) KP.

Oh! What a noise I have generated by just mentioning "watch out". SDQDI you are very sensitive as when I mentioned the "watch out" you go straight into saying ELAAA is in self promotion I hasten to inform you, "Your suspicions are incorrect" It will be nothing more pleasing for me to see aviation grow in Australia. That is my aim and we do not want it pulled down with regulation and self promotion. Your comments to me are a good example of:- Listening to comment not to understand. SDQDI please educate me, How do you want me to convey, "Watch out"? It is obvious in your eyes I am doing it wrong. Over to you now. I was very interested here Turbo mention - few are lazy and not go for a look. Yes all is out there -- not quite -- there is some info held back by the quiet minority. There are quiet a number people on this forum who are up to speed of what is going on, and they are just watching. The big problem is self promotion and egos. For some research delve into those three points I put into a reply to Geoff. Do not be happy with one answer get a cross section of views and from many areas. I am encouraged to see some people on this forum are thinking about the situation and not go into the ELAAA "Self promotion mode". For a bit of enlightenment go back to some things what Rod Birrell was mentioning before the vote for change. Any of them fit now? KP.

No doubt Geoff you are aiming at me that is OK I can handle that, only a small time swipe at me. When one stands up to be counted that is the normal treatment but we will move on to all those things which are at play and not too many get to have them highlighted. However have you looked into the truth behind the Jabiru issue? When you have time go and get your angle on the manoeuvring. The big one ---- the lobbying to get enough votes to change the structure of RAAus to a company from what we knew. Delve about and get that information you will be shocked. What about the China flying schools? RAAus had the opportunity to have some of that business but egos got in the way. There are three for you to contemplate, Geoff. Just a disgrace more members are not told. I try and get people thinking about what is going on but most look at the situation for holes and reply. Not to many look to understand what is happening. KP.

Everything was compliant to Part149 and Part103 seeing the implementation was not happening manuals had to change to compensate. KP.

Well obviously you have not bothered to taken any notice at all. Part149 and Part103 have had their implementation dates postponed, so we have had to re write everything. Then to add some fun the goal posts had some wheels engineered into the design of them. KP

Oh! Oscar you are still about.. You missed an E Oscar. Good to see you Oscar I thought all the Llewellyns had left the scene. KP.

Not enough A's biggles. KP

SDQDI.. The answer to your question.(A) NO However I do not enjoy seeing good honest people being taken advantage of and it is only just a display of egos. When I see some wrong I do step up and tell the people they are being taken advantage of. I hope that answered your question SDQDI. KP

A few years back who can remember the incessant noise on this forum, the experts having their say and exposing their knowledge. ""The board is doing it wrong and we are the new messiahs."" We have them - now steering the ship. Well Hmmmmmmm what has happened? Things are worse now *the board is absolutely silent and RAAus is going to be the next 1/2 or very mini GA. Where RAAus started those little treasures are now for gotten Medicals are getting tougher.. Registration is getting tougher. May as well go fishing the plane is now worthless....OR....Keep it out in the digglies. KP
