  1. "frequent" at https://infrastructure.gov.au/transport/security/aviation/asi/asics.aspx from reg 6.01: " operational need means: (a) a requirement for frequent access to all or part of a secure area of an airport where persons are required to display an ASIC, for either of the following purposes: (i) the operation of the airport or an aircraft;"
  2. Kaz, I am disappointed that you quoted the form rather than the regulation.
  3. Kaz, I think you will find that the actual requirement has the word "frequent" in there."You need a valid ASIC if you require frequent access to a secure area of a security controlled airport ..." While Moorabbin only required an ASIC to cross the blue line around the RPT operations I just had an AVID. Prior to a rare flight into Essendon (land,taxi without stopping then depart) their Ops Manager told me that I couldn't do it without an ASIC and I pointed out the rule that I did not need an ASIC due to the infrequent access required .... there is no provision for infrequent access. I heard somewhere that the whole ASIC system was being reviewed with an intent being to make it work the way it used to be at Moorabbin. i.e. if one stayed away from the limited area of RPT ops then an ASIC would not be required.
  4. A real book on paper - I wish that I had read this one when I was starting: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/680115.Stick_and_Rudder
  5. It is indeed. I flew it that day at Bendigo, good to see that it is being revived.
  6. The free online series of FAA handbooks.
  7. .... and would need to be renewed every month or so to catch the current crop.
  8. So the ASIC should be extended to activities actually undertaken by your idiots .....
  9. They use the Dept of Transport etc definition of an accident.
  10. The ATSB categorises it as an "accident".
  11. Probably because pilots ask on a forum instead of reading the rules.
  12. Kaz, what's the anamoly? To exercise privileges of a licence then an AVID or ASIC is required. If one doesn't need an ASIC then its gotta be an AVID.
  13. Contact, I wish you had been around a few years ago to participate in a discussion on the instructors forum here. I got beaten up severely for making comments consistent with yours. I no longer have access to that forum so I'm unable to repeat my own comments here.
  14. Tailplane dihedral gets it away from wake and efflux at high angles of attack. Of course it also provides its own dihedral effect wrt spiral and Dutch roll stability modes.
  15. not under CASA's new Part 61 so my guess is that will flow down to RAA sometime. I won't even try to explain per CASA's new Part 61.
  16. Nope, need to correct stall speed for PE before doing the arithmetic and then change back to indicated speed.
  17. or http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/hooker1.php
  18. Nope. +4 is the limit load factor so permanent deformation will occur beyond that - just beyond it or some way beyond it depending on the type of structure and any additional margin (additional to that 1.5 ultimate factor).
  19. In the runup bay this morning - ITK on my right and OIS on my left.
  20. Worth checking the definition of built-up area (or whatever term they specifically use) that CASA uses.
  21. How much built-up area may one fly over at 1,000 ft, unable to glide clear, before it is considered that one is "landing" as distinct from cruising towards an airport where one intends to land?I wonder how many pilots know what built-up area is?
  22. I think you'll find that Part 61 reviews don't have the same requirements as CAR 5...
  23. I always take the law literally but sometimes I ask your advice.Per the old CAR it was permissible to undertake the review in a single seater and there was provision for a different aircraft to be used.
  24. Only when the laces are too long for my shoes.
