    Hmm , J200 . Appears to be a relatively soft landing , but interesting that strut appears to have collapsed ! Bob

    I never cease to be amazed with the ongoing and varied opinions regarding RPC holders entering controlled or military airspace . There should be no doubt whatsoever, that a holder of a RPC , without no other relevant qualifications and endorsements , is guilty of an offence by entering active restricted airspace . It is not the responsibility of the controller to ask you bona fides , but your responsibility to know the limits of your certificate. .Be under no illusion you are committing an illegal act ......

    Frank , it was the last sentence that stumped me ..... What box blxxdy "downloads section " ?? Anyway I persevered, and after following your #9 and downloading , which was easy with my super fast ADSB giving me 10 Mbps download ,up comes a prompt ..." open in IBooks " which I duly touched and Lo and behold , it is in there , permanently to read even offline, seems there are several ways of skinning the cat ......

    Yeah , I'm a bit worried about him ( dazza ) though . He doesn't seem to wanna take the bait !

    You got back down safely that's really all that matters . I doubt that you will have too many critics . Well done ... Bob

    I usually say " today should be pretty smooth but, if you feel a little queasy tell me and I'll go back ", sometimes just saying this gives them the feeling that they have some control over the flight duration . Better to be forwarned and, depending on your assessment ,it may be time to hand them a bag ... just in case , but best not to stray too far from base ...... Bob

    This one is pretty quick . Not your garden variety 160 ! .... Bob

    Nobody , as has been stated ad nauseam by me and others on this site and elsewhere , we really haven't found any new ways to kill ourselves over the past 50 years , we just keep making the same mistakes over and over again , and 98% of those mistakes are related to Human Factors . Presumably all pilots have ticked the HF box ,then maybe the course content needs to be revised to target, more specifically, the main problem areas which are well documented ...... Bob

    Trikes can be registered with either HGFA or RAAus .... Bob

    Fair question Sam , I think I would run that question past the Manager or ARO at the airport in question . I guess that in the end it is his decision, but I seem to recall that visitors can be issued with a VIC card ( for visitors ) but must be escorted by a valid ASIC holder .....Bob

    As an example I have just finished anaesthetising for a bariatric surgery list. Fat people having weight reduction surgery. High risk because obesity causes all sorts of problems. My last patient - a 55 year old 150 kg adult male with severe heart trouble ( each beat only pushes out 45% of what it should) he has poorly controlled diabetes and doesn't even check his own sugars ( never done a single self check though at least daily is the expected standard of self care). He has moderately severe lung trouble, drinks to excess and smokes. Mmm , we are told that we must be non - judgemental about these things , however some don't seem to realise the consequences of their actions , or non actions , regarding a responsible attitude toward their own health. I admire you Jaba and your professional colleagues , for showing the compassion that you do, often in difficult circumstances .... Bob

    I just noticed a new thread on this ! .... Bob

    Yes a real surprise Bill , one wonders where it will end, I guess the downside is spending more time fiddling and not looking outside . You will need a cellular signal though so , if relying on wifi iPad with external GPS and not having it tethered to iPhone , it will not work.... that's my reading of it ! .... Bob
  24. biggles
    Yep , sounds like he did all the right things . A lesson to us all !...... Bob

    All that "crap" is designed to ensure you get home for tea Dazza . As they say ..... "the rules are written in blood " ....... Bob
