    http://www.downunderpilotshop.com.au/proflight-cfi-flyer-single-engine-instructional-mo are quite good and very economical. I wonder if Ian can get them through Clear Prop?

    Me too. I use my SPOT more generally as well. If only a passenger on MH370 had a SPOT with tracking activated (frequent automatic routine messages).

    Looks like a modified Skybolt

    You needled me at dinner tonight ...,

    what about 175 mph?

    No-one said anything about knits!

    refer 61.410 if no class 2 medical for a PPL, same privileges as the RPL ....

    Suggest that you read up on security requirements (AVID or ASIC) before you make any commitments and then perhaps have a good cry ....

    Pleasant day at Echuca.

    Don’t get an ASIC via CASA! Go to Aviation ID Australia | Professional ASIC Distribution Centre

    Yes poteroo, I just did my Class 2 medical and wasn’t much more to do (low risk for me but still an expensive add-on) the Class 1 so decided to do it thinking that CASA would take ages to introduce this new rule. Just cancelled my Class 1 application. Now to pursue that flight examiner rating (I’m looking forward to the test with CASA), need to work more to pay for PI!

    The text of the press release from Qantas is quite clear to me.

    Nope, the actual words “in Australia” may have been absent but that it would be in Australia was not missing.

    Good plan. The 3 blade Hartzell “Claw” is even worse. See you at an aerobatic contest sometime?

    Tecnam operator was lucky that the Exposure Draft of Part 91 hadn’t been signed by the GG otherwise he’d be up for a fine of $10,500 ...

    I approach at 85 kts. Didn’t get to fly as I got a flat tyre at the holding point.

    Just seems like normal life to me ...

    I wonder if that is the same one that I had my first ride in (even before my flight to Tassie) - 175? with Geoff Seymour as pilot.

    I bought my copy about 5 years ago and have got halfway through it so far, perhaps one day, in the fullness of time, I will finish it. I wish I had bought and read it 50 years ago.

    There are quite a few others around. Always happy to chat over coffee or red wine if around Melbourne. I like to keep things fairly straightforward for pilot theory just referencing my standard sources then fly and (hopefully) show that the theory applies in practice. Having said that I can readily revert to being an engineer in which case I'd want to show and see data ... if you find that magazine article I will read it.I like this guy's stuff in my transition from pilot to engineer: eg http://www.flightlab.net/Flightlab.net/Download_Course_Notes_files/9_RollingDynamics.pdf

    I don’t see why it should be regarded as controversial. This site has Tutorial: loss of control in turns I recommend Skidded Turn Traffic Pattern Stall Discussion and other pages at APS for my students as well as my own material. Must go, got a full day of teaching turning stalls and spins.

    I did a bit in a friend’s 7AC many years ago, it is still around on the RAA register. I liked it.

    All 101 of those?? I can help you with a few of them.
  25. djpacro
    That would be it.
