    the Chief Flying Instructor at the school would have a keen interest in this as he/she is responsible for standardisation there. Regardless, the CFI would be happy to chat with you anytime regarding your progress.I sometimes haunt Moorabbin, always happy to talk flying.

    Howdy! I lived in Afton, WY for a few years. Flew over your way a couple of times in the mid-90s.

    Great effort. Just a quick unsolicited comment, just eyeballing it with no calcs done but it seems to me that the vertical tail could be bigger - I've always said that it is better to have a bigger one than smaller.

    Caught up with Joel recently and he is still going ahead with the project.

    I like a Raven (or the original Haigh) on a Pitts S-1 - it can be locked straight so tames the aeroplane (at least once the wheels are on the ground).

    Seen the new advanced stalling and incipient spin elements in Part 61 MOS? Yes indeed, even more so with the new Part 61. My opinion is that the advanced stalling/incipient spin exercises require an instructor with a spin training endorsement (consider also CASA's new definition of aerobatics).

    i guess that question had a very specific context? The rules are clearly explained in a series of ACs.

    useful to read Reg 212 first ...
  10. djpacro
    yours approved by CASA iaw that reg?
  11. djpacro
    my recollection is that one of the rules states that you only have to be available for SSAA ...

    Treat every landing as a xwind landing.

    Yep. My flight training business from which I earn taxable income is a private operation.

    I dunno Kaz, I thought that there was another law where Yenn, as an employee of the company, could be paid by the company to ferry other employees around as a private op.

    Interesting .... CASA has this on their new website despite it being statements from a decade ago: Testing of safety-sensitive personnel for alcohol and other drugs - Answers to common questions | Civil Aviation Safety Authority .... the answer to the first question is relevant, as is the one about a private pilot in the bush ...

    Its great that they see that as a role but they don't have to - it was removed from their charter after the Valuejet accident.

    The FAA does not "have to promote aviation". I agree that their safety briefings compare favourably with the Safety Digest - a pity that CASA ceased the Safety Digest ages ago as their current magazine is of a much lower standard.

    dangerous indeed
  22. djpacro
    please stop spreading the untruth that the US FAA is obliged to promote aviation ...

    They put a drop zone dead centre of the recommended VFR coastal route south of Melbourne.
