That's pretty consistent with most outback areas. I've travelled on holidays extensively out west in NSW, Qld northern SA, and you can go through for 20 years and it's just red dirt and stones, but on the 21st you can drive for days through waist high wild oats, and get bogged all day long at every depression. On one occasion we left the Flinders Ranges up the track to Maree. A couple of hours later a storm blew in and vehicles started getting bogged in the dips. We made it into Maree and spent thr night bogged in the main street. Three days later the roads were fit for travel.In the other trips we've made to Maree since the tracks around Maree over the years have been as hard as bitumen. After rain airfields really need an on the ground inspection. I checked out the Booligal Pub airfield from the road and it looked perfectly smooth. From the pub it looked smoother. I decided to walk it anyway and it had big crab holes, some half a metre deep. On one occasion a Hay Council worker told me he'd followed the grader out along a track to the north west with a water tanker they'd bought at an auction. It started raining before they'd finished their shift so they turned around and came back in the rain. The truck had a Detroit 6V53 and Allison transmission. As truckies would know that's about the last specification you'd take outside Sydney. "After a few minutes" he said "the truck started cutting two grooves in the wet road, the Allison changed down to low and I had to flat foot it all the way home, the screamking engine left me deaf and I had to take a bawling out for leaving 80 km of grooves in the road which had hardened like concrete a day or two later. Despite the fast nature of a surface becoming unusable with rain in any district at any odd time, there are lots of times that the surface doesn't change for years, so the local fliers know what signals to watch for, but for cross-country fliers it's critical to get up to the day information because as OT said the airstrip isn't a priority when the locals know they won't be using it for months.

The video I've seen makes some sense. The customer is standing out in the back yard. Presume he/she punches in co-ordinates and checks for power lines. Drone comes in with product on line, remote camera identifies the customer who reaches up and grabse the package, line release, drone flies back to base. However Autonomous issues aren't resolved, they just hope it's "safe".

.....the cunning Twigster had smelled a rat, possibly at one of the nightly parties on the base when 700 happy employees feeding on a cattle station full of steak then hopped into the free booze and one of the 275 Scientists who was know for shooting his mouth off let the secret out that the green H2 fuel was going to cost $17.98 per litre at the pumps if they could get it there. The ABC had done its best, warning motorists to watch out for 700 scientists (the ABC likes the sound of scientists better than "tradies") on the Great Northern Highway. This was typical of the cyclical nature of WA employment, always offering the quick dollar but never quite delivering. Their parents had worked for Allan Band or someone who had promised them the world before Green or H2 had even been thought of and that other character ..........

...shadow of a smile. That was enough for CT of course, ask anyone who goes to "Parma Night" at the DG Inn. While the many thousands of NES readers are noted for their respect and tolerance for minority groups, it might be timely to provide a warning about Zarts. This group has infiltrated the minorities and they have some very dangerous backgrounds. It was Zarts who started the Russian revolution and killed the Czar, Zarts who pinched everyone's furniture and barricaded the streets on Montmartre in Paris. In the Indian-Texas wars of 1820 - 1875, in the Great Raid of 1840, Commanche led by Chief Buffalo Hump, with 400 warriors and 500 wives attacked a town and confiscated several top hats and umbrellas and were then joined by 500 Zarts who'd left their wives behind. They hunted the Texans out of Texas until the remnants of the US Army were able to arm themselves with the new repeating Turbine Centrefire rifles. It was too late though, the Zarts cross bred with the Comanche wives, obtained US citizenship and spread throughout the world. There were even some in New Zealand. At the DG Inn, Turbo had been called in to do the smoking ceremony and start the BBQ and he shouted a warning to CT but he was way too late. An over-eager OT had elbowed CT aside and was looking at the Zart with a silly grin. The Zart .............

Foxes killed and ate rabbits and that deprived him of income and when he saw it he lost control and forgot there was aCappy behind the foxskin. To save on the cost of ammunition CT had bought several cases of ammo from Tinklin Water GoodTime Ammunition, based somewhere in the back blocks of China. His first shot hit the ceiling; the second shot was a fizzer; the third shot hit the floor and CT swore. This attracted a Special Security Officer who had been trained by the US Secret Service and spent some time as an FoI. He walked over, hand on his gun, and said "You realise, you're not allowed to swear in here?" CT ......................

As much as Cappy was down on Epaulette, he almost always showed up at a party in a neat boiler suit with Captain epaulettes and a copy of the VFRG in his hip pocket (the other one reserved for his flask). That dresswouldn't do here. Things would be said like "We don't DO that here" or "Do we KNOW him" and Cappt would be a dead duck or ....................

Clashing calls and over-transmitting are common in busy city circuits. That's why ASA push the importance of visual. It's unusual for inbound calls to be missed, letting down at the same time in the same area and adopting the same track at the same time and not be adhering to the 1000' altitude on downwind, but it happens.

I disconnected from any discussion on this and referred you to the Australian legislation.

Turbo apologises for his short posts; he has spent the night farwelling the bros at the CFMEU farewell party where he was thanked personally by JS (THEMAN!) and given some friendly advice not to talk by some of the other starts of the outgoing Union.

I'll see if I can find some figures.

.....that really bugs me. Once upon a time you could buy borking tools everywhere but now people just use their fingers. There was silence and embarrassed looks from the crowd; they knew they were uncouth by yesterday's standards, but one, the once prominent poster, raconteur and moderator, Commissioner Ahlocks who had dropped in to see his once coffee-companion Cappy, didn't mince words and yelled "they're two heavy, that's why. The lightning fast mind of O, who was known to have repainted a Lanz Bulldog yellow because his customer wanted a Cat, was whirring and his eyes settled on Blacko. "Could you make me some sets of borking tools, but much lighter?" he whispered. There was a burp and a rush of air rather like a Horwood Bagshaw starting up and Blacko said "SssssHsssshshshshshpfffffff" which meant yes in Blacksmith language. Soon there were OneTrack borking sets near the registers of all Coles and Woolworth stores, and people had borking parties and borked ..................

You said "I never do circuits and had to do them for my recent BFR." My comments were based on your experience flying out of your strip on French Island. Now you've said: and now you've said. I would disregard the FAA experience; I've flown there and the procedures are not the same as the CASA procedures that currently apply in Australia. So you've done heaps of circuits in RAA here. So I'll retract all my comments, and I certainly will not be interested in becoming an unqualified Instructor; I'm just a contributor on this site. My recommendation is to go to the CASA website and download the current Visual Flight Rules Guide which give you CASA's expectations in plain English, and also download the CASA legislation to get the full picture. How you bring yourself into compliance from that is up to you. As far as your experiences and wanting to change recommendations, rather than seeking supporters on social media, you can write to CASA giving the reasons; If they agree, that change will come out in updates. I've done this with the federal Government which promptly changed the braking regulations on trucks.

If people in Class G make the CASA recommended calls, and broadcast correctly, there's a lot of spare time for someone to add an extra turn call if that's going to make his situation safer. "Disorderly" If you look at the rectangle the aircraft will usually take off at orderly intervals, but the slow climbers will start to fall behind; as they make their Base turns it becomes obvious that some have fallen behind so the ones who don't follow rules will cut across, and the same thing will happen at the base turn, and progressively they will get out of takeoff order, and mix with new arrivals joinging base. It's quieter at early downwind than late downwind. You realise that (a) given that many pilots don't know what the recommended CASA calls are, they won't bother giving them (It will be a Come to Jesus experience after a crash, but we'll leave that for them to experience.) The next group don't fly on aircraft performance, they fly on the landmarks they might have been given around the time of first solo, so some of them are going to cut across you from the right on the take off leg, more on Crosswind and more again on downwind and at the end of downwind where each pilot is supposed to be looking back over his left shoulder and turning Base when he's 45 degrees from the end of they runway as in the diagramme, this lot will be using a ground marker and crowding you all the way down. As Facthunter said, an aircraft turning base is easier to see. If you dump the Base call and make a Downwind call, a lot of movements and re-ordinging will have taken place by Final, and the circuit will then have the additional inbound aircraft who joined the circuit AFTER you called. It's less safe in cross country flying arriving at a field where they've departed from the normal CASA recommendations and made up their own. My advice is to call according to the booklet "Radio Procedures in non-controled airspace, particularly pages 3,4,5." using the word "recommended" in it's legal sense, and CASA's broader advice. Thousands of RA and GA pilots are not flocking to social media to complain and offer their opinions on CASA's recommendation. Take the numbers complaining off the total current pilot numbers and you can calculate your own percentage. You don't mention if any of those airfields are complying with the CASA recommendations, or reporting their own requirements in the ERSA. If they are, then there will be general commonality. "It's a weakness that obviously needs tightening;" If CASA were to prescribe a set of rules they would resume legal responsibility, and financial liability for ensuring everyone was flying according to those prescribed rules. CASA started moving away from presecriptiv rules in the mid 1980s; you you pay for any non-complyance; CASA provide you with helpful recommendations, but you, the person now legally responsible for reasonably perceived risks decide how you're going to eliminate those risks. So if you see a weakness, it's up to you to tighten it. Based on what I just explained, if you just follow what others are doing at an airfield, then that's your risk safety net, so legal safety net in the case of an accident. It's possible the airfield isn't complying with CASA's recomendations and/or hasn't put the thought into a safe circuit like you have. Since you have the liability in the end, I wouldn't be choosing that path. By all means write to CASA; I wouldn't think CASA would do that because it would mean reassuming liability when so many thousands of pilots have accepted it, but they may be able to give you a clearer understanding of why they dumped the responsibility of the precise radio rules we used to have. "I never do circuits and had to do them for my recent BFR." I forgot about this, which would be why you were asking individual airfields etc. My recommendation at this stage, before you ask more questions without a few hundred circuits under your belt, is that you see if you can get an hour up in the Moorabbin Tower asap before you talk to CASA. Normally you only need to phone the Tower number and ask if you could observe for an hour. You have to keep the talking down to when they want to talk, but just listening to the pilots you'll quickly pick up the pattern of the big whirlpool with some joining, some leaving, some stuffing up radio, but generally you'll see the pressure points and after an hour be picking up the ones who are going to have to go round because they didn't slow down enough to allow the guy in front to depart the runway, and most particularly you can test your theories, which are already pretty good and know where it's difficult to see. The tower operators will often walk you through with a pilot wh's screwed up and how they gently nudge him back into order. That's not Class G, so you don't get that in the country, but6 is sure shows you how to do a safe circuit and make safe calls.

This is the Cunamulla exercise I did for people wanting to polish up circuit skills. If you've learnt to fly circuits based on turns at the Bunnings Warehouse, Stockfeed depot, Two story house and Mcdonalds, this shows what you might encounter on arrival.
