    Would CASA be motivated by how our board operates or by our consistent failure to meet CASA requirements regarding registrations and safety management.

    I did most of my training at a airfield with a runway that points out to sea, I was taught to begin the turn on to crosswind early (only on this runway) so as not to fly too far out to sea. So really a question staying within glide distance. Thoughts?

    When I first learnt in a Thruster in the late 80s, I was taught to be able to fly along the runway without drifting left or right before I was taught to land, then more recently in a Gazelle, I thought this was quite standard. Any CFIs care to comment?

    what amuses me about this clip is when the pilot sits in the chair at 1:36 it is not quite fully opened, had it collapsed it surely would have been the last straw

    took my 85 year old father flying, he loved it despite some epic turbulence on final. My favourite quote of the day - Me "so are you nervous" - Him "I'm 85 what have I got to be nervous of?"

    Thanks David, yes there is something special about taking your father flying. I hope I am still that active at his age. ;)

    I have carried one of these for a few years now. I bought this from Bunnings for a couple of dollars, it is sold as a shade cloth cutter but it cuts through seat belts quite nicely, it is also very light and safe to carry.

    it would be good to know who would be interested in standing for a board position when the time comes
