  1. when I read all this. I think about my own mortality when flying aircraft. you start to second guess every thing did I do a proper pre flight should I fly near these mountains is the wind a bit strong. it can be a real brain f...k
  2. this would be a good start in single seat. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fisher-FP202-Koala-/251925587945?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3aa7ef67e9
  3. On that subject. after it came back an overwhelming no from the survey. they just said we can still sell if we want to.
  4. did you see that single seat plane on EBay is that why you are asking?
  5. I am very sure they had full consultation with all the pilots at caboolture airport.
  6. how many pilots have we lost in the last week or so? 3 or 4 I think one is to many.
  7. My condolences to the family. RIP
  8. Welcome
  9. I was flying last Saturday at caboolture getting signed off on my engine failure and forced landings.then did some solo time in the circuit. it was a high work load other planes birds kangaroos. I was putting in extra calls just to make sure other pilots where aware. then there is the issue of some people doing really long down wind leg. who I don't think would make it back if they had a engine failure. then there is the issue of cutting in on them. which is not good airmanship on my part if I was to do that...
  10. I was flying the sling out caloundra but since they now have a sling on line at caboolture. I was just checked out on the sling their after a year off with a knee replacement. So I am working on some mini navs. And staying legal. I don't mind it being busy at Caboolture but I do find it disturbing when people broadcasts in the circuit are garbled. So you have no idea what they are up to.And that tends to distract you.
  11. I might head for Woodford and then over to kilcoy
  12. yes I was thinking of direct to watts bridge. but now I am thinking of tracking left or right of that.
  13. Hi I wanted to ask if there are any pilots who fly out of caboolture, And if so do you think most pilots use the fly neighborly Rule in that area . meaning heading feet odds evens and so on.
  14. look like another jab went down in the USA. lucky no one was hurt.
  15. I am glad to see that they walked away. As we all know there are not a lot of fairy tale endings from aircraft crashes.
  16. yeah that's the one
  17. Just if anyone wants to know. royal Brisbane aero club has RA aircraft on line for hire. one is a sling the other I have forgotten all I know its made in Austria.
  18. Hi does anyone know where I can hire a RA 162 in Queensland. Shafs
  19. I think he was an engineer
  20. there is some talk the airline is not releasing any details about the FO. but they have named the captain.
  21. Channel nine where giving the A320 a bashing tonight. talking about the air Asia a320 and the one that went in the Hudson river. I am Shaw it was the planes fault that it flew into a storm and the other one with the bird also the aircrafts fault. and they also showed the 330 that went down in the Atlantic.
  22. I find it odd that there where not Pan Pan or may day. they say it descended for eight minutes.
  23. In the lip service world of airlines and lots of companies. when they say that safety comes first. we all know what the truth is. And we can all say that the pilot should refuse to fly and make command decisions. But last time I looked pilots eat and have bills.
  24. This can carry over into our jobs. boss asks you to work on the weekend with no penalty rates. you say no he sacks you and get someone cheaper. round and round we go
