    I’ve attached a post that I wrote in 2015, relevant for instrument or night flying when not qualified or in a suitable a/c. Keep it simple & safe.

    I too will be doing my BFR in a VH a/c in September, never had that warm & fuzzy feeling having to fly over tiger country around Cooly, yes I know it’s now Gold Coast these days ? & Coffs, when the transit lane or coastal option was so close yet legally not possible to use.

    We flew to Kooralbyn about 12 months ago, I can highly recommend the Valley Kitchen, excellent service & food, pleasant quick trip from Caboolture.

    Here’s a great video that talks about both skidding & slipping turns in the stall, explains the aerodynamics of why as well as an actual demonstration of which wing will stall first.

    I hope that this is just an unsubstantiated rumor, it’s my goal to do an RAAus instructor rating in a few years time so that I can work part time at a SMALL SCHOOL instructing after I retire from the airlines, the industry has been very good to me & its my turn to give something back. BTW I totally admire Camels previous post, respect sir.

    QF jet carrying the royals had to go around because there was another a/c on the “TARMAC” fine proof reading Channel 9 morning show.

    Yes, Inglewood looks like another nice town just a short walk from a very good air strip, another good destination for that $100 hamburger

    Wasn’t expecting this long sealed r/w when seeing it displayed on Ozrunways.

    Just back from our country NSW flying trip, day 1 Caboolture-Warwick-Narrabri, day 2 Narrabri-Mudgee, spent 4 days in Mudgee & surrounds, haven’t been there since the early 1980’s, would have to been one of the most beautiful country towns I’ve seen, we stayed at the hangar house which I would describe as 5 star, the host Alex was great, he even drove us into town to pick up our hire car, day 7 Mudgee-Maitland, spent a few days visiting parents at a retirement village, day 10 Maitland-Gunnedah (thanks to the friendly local pilots we meet & who drove us into town for brunch)Narrabri, day 11 Narrabri-Moree-Warwick-Caboolture (moderate turbulence & 15 kt headwinds, a long & uncomfortable day. Was good to spend money in the drought stricken country & supporting the small family run businesses.

    Did Caboolture to Roma last year, we stopped for a break at Chinchilla, good sealed runway, aeroclub facilitates were available, however you will need to BYO coffee & snacks.

    Can never have too much insurance, only works out a few hundred dollars extra a year or less than a dollar a day.
  12. Bennyboy320
    Recently renewed my insurance for my Foxbat A22LS with PSB, my policy is for full flight risk value of a/c $110,000 excess $5,000 public liability of $2M, cost $2,200.

    CAAP92-1 says it all, basically you can land anywhere you think it’s safe. On a side note I follow Trent Palmer on YouTube, he’s into bush flying & a memeber of the flying cowboys, I think in this nanny state we live in if you tried half of what he does the FUN POLICE have a fit, especially if any of you guys with tail wheels water ski on any of our water ways. Fly safe & keep the shinny side up.

    Hence the advantage of only flying RAAus max 600kg, once you reach 75 you have to see the doctor to maintain your drivers license, and for goodness sake don’t open up a can of worms & mention anything about flying, it’s beyond their pay grade & they don’t have a need to know, keep it simple, anyway that’s my plan.
  16. Bennyboy320
    I recently ordered & received the “Big Srew tie down” the 18 inch screws & tie down straps & attachments look strong enough to use on a Dash 8, haven’t used it yet, will post update when back in Bne.

    Sign into RAAus web site, select documents & forms tab, then sport Pilot & download pdf.
  18. Bennyboy320
    All things come to those who wait, just checked RAAus web site & finally the July edition available for download.
  19. Bennyboy320
    Ok so obviously I’ve missed something, is the digital version dead?
  20. Bennyboy320
    So it’s the 28JUL18, any updates of when or were it’s available.
  21. Bennyboy320
    Give Bill & Heather a call at Caboolture Recreational Aviation, an excellent school with a good variety of LSA available for training/hire.
  22. Bennyboy320
    Mmmmm, think I’ll treat Warwick as a high threat no go Airport.

    [ATTACH]36713[/ATTACH] These days with ground radar it’s a bit easier compared to the 1960’s. We only use CAT 3B, with CAT 3C it’s basically 0/0.
  24. Bennyboy320
    The landing & rollout no dramas, it’s getting off the r/w & taxiing that’s more challenging & gets the heart beat racing.
  25. Bennyboy320
    Thanks, I will only be planning tech stops airfields with self service avgas, keep it simple.
