    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

    They tell us in the hundreds of posts on this subject over the years.

    You're looking at the "dumb set of rules" from the previous prescriptive era which has been progressively, and quietly, disbanded. They're not dumb when you realise the legal liability is now with the pilot.
  8. turboplanner
    CASA divested most of their legal liability for radio calls by switching to the see and be seen policy, throwing the legal liability or using a radio onto the PIC. That's pretty normal across all industries. If you work in a factory operating a saw, once upon a time a DLI government inspector would go around making sure all the saw guards were in place and issuing a compliance ticket. Now you have to ensure the guard is in place and your employer will usually send you for a training certificate to operate specific machinery. CASA's action is not different to that, so it's unlikely in most cases that you would meet your safety obligations with just one call. Just relying on some other person's advice on "What I do is...." isn't going to gt you out of trouble if there's an accident. This link "Radio procedures in non-controlled airspace" tells you your radio obligations in Class G. It includes: When you MUST make a call When you SHOULD make a call Calls recommended ALL the time Calls when there is other traffic https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-05/radio-procedures-in-non-controlled-airspace.pdf

    The problem is they don't want to do that because it involves learning some formal radio procedures, and studying a few documents, and flying within a formal framework. An Instructor should easily be able to train them in a few hours. When it's required for your training, you're competent by the time you go solo, but I 've never seen an Instructor come on here and say "This is easy, I should be able to get you through that in x hours."

    What's descibed here is, as says a Paraglider. The accident at Elphinstone involved a Powered Parachute; The Channel 9 reporter correctly describes is as a Powered Parachute. The branding identifies it as an Aerochute make, HummerChute model. https://www.9news.com.au/national/elphinstone-emergency-services-respond-to-paraglider-crash-in-victoria/f27a886c-1fdc-4253-8789-488a72bbf5d8 This Wikipedia link, under "Confusion with powered Paragliding says: "There is often confusion about the difference between powered parachutes (PPC) and powered paragliders (PPG) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_parachute So the heading, which seems to have followed the newsmedia is incorrect and needs to be corrected.

    That wasn't a Powered Parachute.

Against this bleak background, while OT was away moving the recovered Nazi treasures to his secret lair out in the WA sandhills, and bull was in charge of a whaling ship, standing on the bow like Moby Dick, Cappy and Turbo had been invited to the 2024 Khyber Pass Reuinion. Both had bought new orange Turbans for the occasion and Cappy was making a claim that his arrived unassembled. "All I got was a roll of satin ribbon" he complained.

    An earlier Channel 9 report said there was a crosswind and they were pushed across into a fence. They are ideal in calm conditions, but I'm aware of a few similar incidents where the machine gets pushed sideways. Problem is, if you turn into the wind their slow forward speed makes it a mathematical calculation to get high enough to clear obstacles. They are best in an open paddock with wind. I was looking at using one in bush conditions, landing on roads, but it was clear from watching a few days events that you could forget about roads.
