Gday! What aircraft are you flying?

Thanks for listening as far as you got! Hopefully I can get you interested for the next episode.

[MEDIA=audio]http://traffic.libsyn.com/goflying/Go_Flying_Australia_Podcast_033.mp3[/MEDIA] On the latest episode I talk with: Michael Monck – Chairman of Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAUS). We talk about two game changing proposals from RAAUS who are looking to increase the Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) of aircraft that it administers and to enable its members to fly their aircraft in controlled airspace. We also talk about the controversial restrictions which were placed on Jabiru powered aircraft and also about a couple of close calls which Michael has had in his time as a pilot. Michael Linke – CEO of RAAUS. We talk about a number of things including relationship that RAAUS has with CASA, the organization’s financial woes and the big push on to improve safety for RAAUS members. Whats your opinion of the proposals? Do you think they will be successful? Link to show notes Click here to Subscribe via iTunes

[MEDIA=audio]http://traffic.libsyn.com/goflying/Go_Flying_Australia_Podcast_032.mp3[/MEDIA] On the latest episode of the podcast I talk with Dan Compton, an ex RAAF and RFDS pilot who has recently started his own flight school called Wings Out West based at Dubbo. At his flight school Dan has combined many passions into one. Dan plys his trade as an instructor in bright yellow Legend Cub aircraft teaching his students not only the syllabus but also some bush flying along the way. It is clear from talking with Dan that his biggest passion in life is helping young people and in this interview we hear how successful he has been in this respect. I really hope you enjoy the interview and please stick around for the end as Dan provides some awesome information about the secrets of a good landing and tips for landing at an unfamiliar strip. Let me know what you think. Items discussed: - Secrets to a good landing - landing at unfamiliar airstrips - The best part of being an instructor Click here for the show notes Click here to Subscribe via iTunes

At a small private strip the other day at a fly inn the aircraft due to depart before us decided to do his run up right on the threshold. I found this very odd. I know the chance of being hit by a landing aircraft was low but just from a self preservation perspective I would personally stay off of a runway unless I absolutely have to be on one. That being said I'm only a junior pilot and might be wrong in this respect.

This was really was one of my favourite interviews and if you are anything like me you will find many lessons learnt in some of Bill’s experiences. Issues which were discussed - What do you guys think? - RAAUS raising the MTOW (good idea?) - Difference between RAAUS PC and RPL? - Favourite Training Aircraft? - RAAUS Instructor Qualifications?
