    Pointless is bringing US confusion to Australian students who are never going to operate there.

    Well we operate in Australia and we don't have FAR Part 103, but if you intend flying there you are unlikely to be "enquiring" when there is a database instantly available showing something with 1400 high level injuries. I lost interest in the subject at that point.

    If you're an administrator in an operation or sport, you need measureable statistics and the statistics need to relate to an avoidable risk (or similar criteria) When grading your horse riding or flying there should be another cutoff; degree of injury. If you suffer non-life-changing accidents and you wnat to pursue the sport regardless, there's nothing wrong with a broken arm here or there. On the other hand if you own a hotel, those accidents can cost tens of thousands of dollars in compensation, so there are different criteria. You also need a grading factor; RPT flying risk per person per hour is extremely low; flying risk per hour in Recreational flying is much higher per hour, so you need a workable target to measure from. The measurement of these statistics needs to allow you to see when progress is being made or when you are slipping back.

    From memory, horse riding has more injuries than flying.

    Talk to your local school bus operators and see what they do on the rubber floors of their buses. 75% will do nothing but 25% will have smooth, shiny floors and clean and use a floor wax regularly.

    .....a good case for delivery in refrigeration ships rather than dangling from an aircraft. bullmarine products inc. made the big stepup and bought a refrigeration ship, registered in Panama where the registration fee is only US$9.76 per year and no insurance is required. The Captain's Cabin (not our Captain) was luxurious compared to the little trawler, the ship had a half - good engine and so bull reversed the old tradition of Tea Clippers from China to London and registered bullmarine P=clippers LLC. and did the rounds of the trawlers each day, finding them by using his trusty Drifter and sailing to China every tenth day..............................

    OK then if "anyone" is flying "they" should have looked at that link very early in training. In fact "they" should be up to speed with that document before first solo. "Someone" might train in RAA, but "they" also fly in Airservices and CASA airspace and have to be up tp speed with their requirements also.

    If you are flying you should have looked at that link very early in training.

    No I don't really; I've recommended all PICs sit down with a PL lawyer and find out for themselves for not much more than an hour's flying cost, and it's interesting to see that most in business and mining are aware and don't pose these crazy questions, but plenty haven't done anything about updating themselves. It doesn't seem to dawn on people what the reason is for CASA/Airservices etc withdrawing a very workable prescriptive rule system that was used in the past.

    The link I posted doesn't say you can drop into an airfield with no communication at all. It provides some benchmarks. If someone sues you for negligence after a collision, a defence could be that you were complying with the industry benchmark at the time. (It's the reverse of the old prescriptive system where you had to comply with someone else's rule or get fined).

    I didn’t quote you. You understand the whys.

    The requirements we fly under are Australian Regulations, so procedures in the US, UK, superseded circuit procedures, or dreamed up as a good idea or "what I do" don't apply. The aim should be to minimise the number of different broadcasts rather than invent more. Here's the link from "Be Heard, Be Seen, Be Safe" document June 2023 https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-05/radio-procedures-in-non-controlled-airspace.pdf Note that early in the piece it says: "Australian Non-controlled or Class Gis different to most parts of the world." Calls ALL the time are on Page 4 Calls when there is other traffic are on Page 5 Regs involved are on Page 7 It's not a difficult read; it's only 7 pages long!

    .........Mercurial, particularly since it had a "Climb Meter" out of a 1948 Mercury Chieftan. bull smiled as he thought; "its dive rate is faster than any XXXXXXX prawn too!" Like Captain Ahab, he regularly spoke to Methusla on high. He always got an answer because he started with "Hi Meth, rivets come out of the Thruster yet?" On this occasion he was more reverent and Methusla wished him well for the coming battle. He saw the HUGE outline of the big white praen ahead of him in the murky water; in the distance was a sunken ship ...................

    .....press a button on the trawler and run to the stern where a very unusual Drifter, with wings closed had been parked on a ramp ready for him. This wasn't your normal Drifter with the flapping and sometimes clapping wings, it was amphbious and that's not all; it was Submersible, and that's not all ........

    ........think back through all Cappy's nefarious acts and finally admit that he'd beaten even Cappy. All we can say it it involved six grains of wheat. It's good to see the NES being graced by the Big Prawn Ship Captain. Not many people know that for the last month bull had been engaged in an epic battle trying to land a giant white prawn. It had simply eaten through his nets, so he tried shooting it, running over it in his tinny and even tying a cable around it and dragging it backwards towards shaw but each time it just gave a flick of that giant tail and ....................

    Just let it all play out; we're starting to get theories on theories. You have to declare any known medical issues; it's as simple as that.

    I've had about 20 instructors over the years; about five were outstanding so I wouldn't go there. Moorabbin is a dual circuit operation so it starts with knowing how to use the ATIS to pick the entry point for the runway you have to use and the procedures in from the entry point. If you're just looking for a swat list of radio calls, I'd phone the Tower and book a time to go up with the ATC guys and you'll hear wht they hear. I've done it and it shows you the god the bad and the ugly, a great yeaching tool, and they explain "I told him this because he ........." etc. Then book a conversion with one of the training centres.

    Don't think I would have written that Sunny; social media posts are evidence.

    The principle applicable to aircraft is: Old prescriptive system: CASA decided how you would operate safety and made rules (for which they were legally responsible). Self Administration system: CASA provides the basic guide; you are legally responsible for what you do. The VFRG should be able to provide everything you need to know. Plus, if radio isn't mentioned: https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-05/radio-procedures-in-non-controlled-airspace.pdf
