Still a great little trainer.

That's exactly what I do, Robbo. My iPhone goes most places with me. CASA's guide to their ramp checks says it is ok to just have a copy, my guess is that is based on the final draft Part 61. However, Part 61 requires the licence document to be carried i.e. not a copy.
-
Now that we are all looking at the same section of the document, I suggest you read it again to check the transponder requirements for Class D.
-
Try GEN 1.5 - 10.

You'll find that all the guys on the trucks are very friendly and helpful but if they are refuelling you may not get a response to your radio call however most likely heard and noted. I prefer a phone call so can leave a message if they're busy. (I see now that all the bowsers take credit cards.)

Shell bowser takes credit cards. So do the trucks - call Colin for BP on 9587 5201.

meanwhile, the email that I got from CASA today after 7 months.

They did last year. "Last days to have your say on CASA’s performance The important new survey being conducted to benchmark the aviation community’s views about CASA closes on 18 December 2015. The online survey takes about 15 minutes to complete and covers CASA’s key performance areas. Views are sought on CASA’s performance in specific areas such as efficiency, responsiveness, accountability and timeliness. Questions cover how easy it is to comply with regulations, the development of new regulations, consistency of decision making and satisfaction with service delivery. Overall, the survey aims to determine the strengths and weaknesses of CASA’s relationship with the aviation community. Results will be used by CASA’s Board and management to improve CASA’s performance, build stronger working connections with the aviation community and lift service delivery. The survey is being conducted online by an independent market research organisation, all responses are held securely and participants can choose to be anonymous. This survey will be run every two years so CASA can measure changes in performance and interaction with the aviation community. The survey meets recommendation eight of the Aviation Safety Regulation Review. Make sure your views are heard and complete the survey now."

Individuals can't use that excuse so we must not accept it from the RAA, nor from CASA who are also way behind with their regulatory guidance information (eg out of date CAAPs).

and offensive so more added to my ignore list.

An interesting although outdated paper on collision avoidance at http://www.augc.on.net/docs/10532_Collision-Avoidance.pdf

I have different thoughts after reading the report the pilot put the aeroplane in a situation such that loss of control was likely. analysis shows that it would've been fatal regardless of that deformation and they might've had longer lives if not for that.
-
My airplane had a new PAI vertical card compass fitted in 2011 to replace the one fitted in 2007. It went U/S recently and the experts declined to fix it so I now have a std compass instead. Perhaps they don't like aerobatics.

Draped along the wing as requested ... sorry not a blonde ...
-
Nope, nil watchers and only the closest airplanes could be seen from the IAC building.

50+ Pitts at Oshkosh last year in amongst the general public area - the area was packed especially on the Saturday and I didn't see anyone touching an aeroplane but many sitting very close in what little shade a Pitts provides.

Class D Taxi Clearance at YMMB
djpacro replied to Jay_1984's topic in Student Pilot & Further Learning
No clearance required to taxi from parking area to the runup bays. Fairly prominent signs alert you to where you need a clearance. So, taxi call at the runup bay. -
Some good data related to that here: http://www.eaa1000.av.org/fltrpts/lanc360/hq.htm Agreed, and Chris Furse was up there too.

My small sample observations is that CASA people in the field don't care much about small cameras temporarily mounted internally yet the question often comes up and I have seen nothing in writing about it. If I get a verbal answer from CASA I always follow up with an email to confirm - sometimes I get nil response which tells me something. When/if they do put something in writing it logically can't conflict with EFB mounting per that CAAP. Perhaps one day they will see how the USA does stuff but I'm not holding mybreath.
-
Nope, that CAAP is not about cameras but the rules about mods are very general so anything that applies to EFB mounting would logically apply to camera mounting.Still looking for a reference, such as https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/g/files/net351/f/_assets/main/rules/1998casr/021/021c08.pdf Para 4.3.5 for example.

Where's your reference for that?
