    Benefits of staying a member of RAA?

    in Governing Bodies

    Posted

    Being a financial member of the RAA is a legal requirement in order to fly an RAA registered aircraft.

     

    From the RAA Ops Manual Version 7.1....PILOT IN COMMAND (GROUP A and B)

     

    1. A person intending to act as pilot in command of a Group A or B recreational aeroplane operated under the provisions of this manual and associated legislation must:

     

    a. be a financial member of RAAus;

     

    b. be the holder of a valid Student or Converting Pilot Certificate or Pilot Certificate, in the appropriate aeroplane Group, issued or recognised by RAAus

    When it all goes wrong!

    Nev, You will never convince our "enemies" flying those "dangerous things" can be safe, if done correctly! they don`t want to be convinced and I`ve learned to live with that.

     

    I`ve taken up a heck of a lot of people, over the years, and as part of my pre-flight briefing, to those who arn`t familiar with Ultralights, I say, " these aircraft are not toys, they fly for real and they kill for real" guess what! no one has yet backed off and decided not to go up with me!!! I tell it as it is.

     

    By the way, I`m not in that video! I came across it on the internet, where any of our "enemies" could find it!

    My 3-Year-Old Great-Grand-Son, Deacon Theurillat, lives here, with his parents, in a second house on our property! he`s been watching me take his Mum Alison, his Dad Sam and his sister Brooklyn, (and others) Drifter flying, for most of his young life and he`s been wanting to go flying with me since around 2 years of age so this morning I decided, "Today Is The Day"!

    Of course! Brooklyn and Alison wanted to go up also...6-Year-Old Brooklyn is a veteran! :wink:, she first flew with me at 4 years of age.

    Your top speed (so far)

    in AUS/NZ General Discussion

    Posted

    When the wind gets a bit stronger Franco, try a circuit in the vertical plane in your plane. No track change. Your slowest airspeed is your backwards downwind leg. Nev

     

    :whisper:Ah yes! Now! the verticle plane is another story, not to be discussed here...:wink:..........Franco.
