Hi Jeremy what would you like to do with your CPL, ie Aerial Bus Driver or ?, We are approaching a severe shortage of pilots for the commercial world. What we all need is a passive income capable of supporting our aviation habits. Am a rated Ag Pilot, however the lack of moisture from the heavens has basically only given me enough flying to call it a hobby! If you are interested in airlines there will be openings. A friend has just landed a job with Jet Star flying a A340, will only cost him $33K for his endorsement on the same! Jolly wonderfull ! All the best hope all goes well. Cheers Guy

Hi Facthunter What would be the most suitable airframe for the 9 cyl Rotec, with two seats, fast and still in the RAA catagorey, ???????? Cheers Guy

Welcome Bas Hi there welcome to Down Under, check this out http://www.mblafs.com.au/ there are 4 or 5 different types of aircraft which Mike has on line at Murray Bridge, we are a satalite to his school and about 220km drive north of Adelaide. A bit far, however when you do your training Drop in to Jamestown for a cuppa and a chat! Cheers Guy

Samsung Hi Ian Have a Samsung Miniket Sports camcorder. Very small within it's self and also comes with a remote mountable camera, still need's to be pluged in and has a couple of aaa batteries in it. Will get around to pulling it to bits one day to see if it is possible to mount the camera part away from the battery part, you could then mount it on the side of your headset or possibly your helmet. It was about $1100-$1200 when we purchased it. Cheers Guy

Try This this looks really good,a friend has these and he says they are good, also comes with updates etc! http://www.sentientsoftware.com.au/ Cheers Guy

It's Functional Hi I recently purchased a Casio of some sort I found on the net, it lets you know the time, and has both analog and digital , bits. meaning you can put GMT in the digital and local on the analog. The digital bits are to either side of central and are reasonably large, with failing close vision this is GOOD! Whilst with the analog face you can see your departure time and easily add on your time interval to destination, just by counting round the face. Nice and Easy! Also helpful for figuring out where you are in relation to other aircraft, or where they are in relation to you as this is the method we use when communicating with other aircraft, or someone in our own aircraft who has seen something we have not! Happy Flying

Hi Adam Welcome am in SA so a bit far away to help with the flying training, lots to be learnt here and with anything to do with aviation. Is there a local flying training organisation you can go and wash clean and polish things and occasionally get a lesson? The main thing is to have FUN! Keep at it, You Can Do It! All the Best Guy:cool:

P 40 Hi Jokerman Sorry no more info at present, may possibly be able to find out. What are the differences, with how you feel the aircraft should be painted. I would imagine the paint scheme to have been researched as they did spend 8 years on the rebuild project! Cheers Guy

Welcome Hi Sean how do you find the Tecnam after a C182? A little less room and a little less noise other than this? Welcome, do come and visit in SA check out http://www.jamestownairshow.com it is usually on every three years the last was 2006, plenty of time for planning! How many little country airshows have an F18 up the runway looking like you could put your hand out and grab it? the boys do an awesome job. Same chaps doing the pyro's, at the airshow near you soon, as do them here! Many aircraft to choose from! what's the budget? if you need someone to check out an aircraft in SA, don't hesitate to call, have a great network of boy's on the ball! Cheers Guy

email Hi Decca unable to use PM at the moment, please try [email protected] Thanks for your'e assistance Cheers Guy

Thanks Will have a look next time near one, am appooximately 2.75 hours north of Adelaide, will have to see where there is a shop close by! Cheers Guy

Need some assistance with where to purchse a Model Aircraft With Moveable Control Surfaces, Such as one finds in our clubs for the instructor to teach with or at least attempt to explain what should be happening when you are airborne! Thank You Guy

Mixture This may also be possibly caused by the idle mixture being, either a little rich or a little lean. This can possibly be affected by the difference in air density of the day, possibly due to winter verses summer or the in crease in altitude. Say you have flown from Bankstown to Orange or vise versa. Nearlly a 3000' change in altitude. Cheers Guy

Hi Cazza Yes do come to NSW, excuse my ignorance what does "mlhy" stand for? Are you goingup to Q to pick up your 160? Cheers Guy

New Intructor Wow I have just read through this thread, being a new user to this site it has taken me a while to catch on to modern technology. As I have recently qualifed as an instructor and am increasing my instructor hours this thread is of great interest with some fantastic thought's and idea's. Coming originally from a small aeroclub with a gliding wing(which I was initially involved) the GFA actually then had a particular qualification for being able to do the Daily Inspection. Which ment you generally had to have passed some form of education on that particular type of craft. Airworthyness I imagine it to be! BFR, what should it contain? It, as I see it, is an oportunity to locate any habits which may be detramental to the safe operation of your machine. Does it also need to be a Biannual Brain Review? Was on the outside of a BFR the other week where the person who was due for thier Review arrived with thier aircraft, and expected the CFI to sign them out without even getting airborne, as they reckoned that the CFI had seen them go flying and they were flying in the vacinity of 200 hours/year. Maybe this is one of those attitudes which has been spoken about in this thread! Why are Airline pilots put in simulator's at regular intervals? I feel they probably do a few more hours/yr and have initially been trained to a very much higher standard. Safety as suggested in this thread starts with an attitude, one with which you are open and willing to learn, however this is also flanked be a box or a set of guidelines, rules and a general culture. This is important! The Culture! what is it? where does it come from? Most things Subtend from the uper level's. Once again Thanks Guy's and Gal's for a very interesting discussion. Much food for thought Cheers Guy

Hi are you an old Bathurst Boy? Used to go to school there! Try abc.com.au, could be .gov.au Nice pics Cheers Guy

Been flying for a while, however very new to this age of technology, using the web for communicating other than for emails. Was reading the RAA mag yesterday, saw Tony Witlox had passed away, coluld someone tell me the full story? Natural causes? He stayed with us hear in Jamestown a few years ago when having a few challenges with the regulation device to his battery, it was cooked to say the least! He was on a trip to the Kimberly! On a lighter note we have been in Jamestown 11yrs and are about to commence flying training here in the near future. Have already seen a few familiar names on this site, looking forward to meeting and catching up in the future. Cheers Guy
