Having said that, you go on to apply horizontal policies to vertical, which of course will fail. Nothing like it. Private and Church schools are required to train, teach and evaluate to the State School curriculum and they are paid for that base teaching, which helps commonality when they arrive at Uni or into the workforce. Anyone who has done part of their schooling in one State and then abruptly been shifted to another State would see the benefit of that. The Private schools then need an arm and a leg from the parents to add the components which bring the TERs needed for Uni entry in the best positions and character building to be able to hold down management jobs and professions.

It would seem straightforward to me. You may not be neatly in one camp or the other, but you're not wanting to just fly in one camp either. If you want to fly a GA plane just go GA.

An outstanding cry for democracy, Skippy but i would equate it more with Australia's never ending cycle from vertically integrated businesses to horizontally integrated businesses where every separate activity/location is required to make a profit. There's still room in the horizontal model for a sub group to operate at break-even cost.

This plays no part in the Planning Process as I found out on a couple of cases in the early days. No one has stepped up and said they want to build an alternative to Goulburn, but they would be looking at NSW as well, which offers locations closer than Goulburn.

I assume that when you set the bolt stretch cold, the manufacturer is working on that being the optimum setting at working temp.

The fact that the affluent haven't migrated to Goulburn is of note. If you are making policy for General Aviation you will either be working (as in regularly visiting) or doing the same thing digitally at every GA site in Australia. There was a time where I was doing a National job and was on an aircraft somewhere, often twice a week. Digital allowed me to do that from a desk. Perhaps the reason our coastal city GA airports have such good aircraft movements is that policy is taking account of the newer types and categories of GA flights and training; for example at Moorabbing now if you want to get a PPL you can book accommodation on campus and do the lot without leaving the airport. Based on the last Google Earth photo, at the Canberra Airport on grass I counted 32 single engine GA, on the bitumen 2 SE and 9 twins, and there would be others in hangars, but a low number of GA. with room for plenty more. I found a projection for Canberra Airport to be at 153,000 aircraft movements in 2023/24, against Melbourne Airport's 217,000. If you want to meet a potential market requirement as you appear to be doing, guesswork isn't enough; you have to do the hard yards and go out and talk to the market; they'll give you the whys and why nots on their travel arrangements. As for giving your local member a lift, if he isn't already limited by policy to only flying in twin aircraft, don't forget to point to the conditions plaque, and don't forget to tell him what singe engine VFR is really like on a yearly basis. I finally gave up trying to do business flying VFR after I was grounded waiting for weather to clear for three days; that cost me orders worth a lot more than the cost of RPT and rental cars.

Then, have you not heard of the ACT Government's Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate? Whether you want to build a house, factory or Airfield the primary decider on whether it can be done on a property you select will be Planning status. Step 1 is to select a suitable property you think would be ideally located, with suitable weather conditions and meet the technical requirements for an ALA etc. Step 2 is to go on the EPSDD site punch in the property address, and get a property report and map of the property. This will show the Zoning of the property. Step 3 is to read through the Uses for that Zone. They may be split into three groups; 1. Permitted Uses without a planning Permit. This may include "farming", something like a tool shed on a farm with a size not more that 10 sqare metres 2. Permitted Uses requiring a Plannning Permit. This would be where you start looking for "Airfield" 3. Prohibited Uses These usually include Motor Racing Tracks, and may include Airfields, making a decision on the property easy; go to the next property. If you find a property which allows a Use of Airfield, you then provide a Development Application (DA) to the Local Government Authority for approval. Anyone can submit a DA, however for an airfield I would recommend hiring a qualified Planning Consultant. These people have done 5 years Planning study at a University and know their way around the very complicated system. You particularly don't need a politician or public servant, or need to know someone. As you can see from this process it's relatively easy for someone to identify land suitable for an airfield, buy it and, where it meets the Planning Scheme for that area, get approval to build one with private hangars etc. obtaining Planning approval for these items where specified.

Have you been reading the posts? You don't realise you can fly in CTA with the right specifications and training?

In the days of collapsible head gaskets you could tighten the head bolts to the specified nut torque (after a series of even tightening with a socket) and that was it, you had a seal for life. As aluminium became more widespread and non-collapsible gaskets were used, the sequence tightening became more critical and instead of the final tension being measured by rotational friction to trip the torque wrench, a torque wrench final socket figure is quoted then a rotation amount is specified using the thread depth to obtain the tension required. For this reason you ALWAYS fit new head bolts after a head has been removed. Leaks and loose bolts are the byproducts of this system for even minor mistakes. I agree the manufacturers have fallen behind in providing exact details of the process required and you have to hunt for it because not all manufacturers work on the same figures.

I get the feeling that the GA people out there and on social media are not aware of any change or they would have resurrected their ‘“not Goming to a CTA near you” thread

This is a question better asked of GA IFR pilots. For VFR PPL I was told not to touch it but did, and set the frequency of the nearest tall hill and got a signal from a town behind it. Good lesson.

Why not bring them all into the one thread?

I would focus on the Australian aviation classes we have in RA, and try to get some real flying done.

No, it’s about distorting facts.

........great sand collections in the 1930s where residents were fined if they didn't sweep up the sand around their house and put it in the Red Bins provided by the Council, default fine 17 pounds two and six. There were sand drives at the local football club to stop sand rash, and a special No Tackling on the sand rule. The pubs would have Sand Buckets on the bar, and any sand walked in had to be swept up by the walker inner and put in the sand bucket.

In a nutshell; anyone in the Transport Industry would know that no one person could remotely cover all of transport in this country. And no, I've never designed tyres.

I was contacted by RAA because an employee liked what I had written. It wasn’t about a crackpot thread. Any real person who works in the transport industry knows the terminology and knows it wasn’ “designed”.

No quote as usual. Wrong. I didn't say CASA contacts me about what's on this site. They never have.

Only once to say "No thanks" to a request.

It was an amazing exchange between two Subaru enthusiasts which went public.
