Looking at doing a trip up to Taree from Torquay any advice to avoid as much tiger country and millitary airspace possible ? Looking at going Yarrawonga, Temora, Mudgee, Scone then not sure. Any advice would be appreciated .
Having a raked nose gear on my aircraft I am wondering if that would help in a nose wheel collapse ? If it dug in would it help stop the aircraft going inverted as opposed to straight down nose gear or would it just delay the process ? I thought it might help pivot the aircaft more horizontally until the mains touch the ground again.
I would have thought from what I have been learning it should be the opposite also. Opposite aileron to intended spin direction would increase the angle of attack on the wing you want to stall first making it happen faster.
Just a habit I think. My aircraft is centre throttle also. I did manage to change hands back to operate the spoilers for landing though. Just recently did my tail wheel endo in a Zlin Savage Cub and had no trouble keeping my right hand on the stick and left on the throttle in that machine.
Hi all,
I have found a way to get out of trouble with your efb when navdata expires and locks you out of the app without updating. If you don't have internet access to update you can manually backdate the ipads date which will get you going again until you can update. Obviously you need to be using current Ersa and charts but this may be useful to someone if you have not updated.

Who is going to come and look for you if you don't submit a SARTIME when you are on a cross country. You may be stranded in a paddock in the middle of nowhere and for some reason your epirb failed or you where unable to activate it ?
Yes but if NAIPS let you enter STRATUS7357 in as the aircraft id for the Sartime when calling ATC as STRATUS7357 they would be able to locate your Sartime and there would be no issue.
Why is AIRSERVICES Australia not able to accept recreational Aircraft call signs ? If you lodge a SARTIME electronically you need to give it in 19, 24 etc identification. When in the air we are to call idntification. Example lodge SARTIME via NAIPS it needs 24-7357. In the air aircraft for recreational aircraft communications should be (aircraft type) STRATUS 7357. When communicating with ATC they can not identify you to communicate ? You need to use the full rego on the aircraft.
