Light plane crash near Noosa Newspaper article and photo.. Report says at Cootharaba.

Some aircraft (eg A Cessna 152 I flew) have carby hot air not drawn through the intake filter so landing with carby heat on in such aircraft can result in dust in your carby.

From Wings facebook page 5 hrs ago NEWS Unfortunately the Focke Wulf Fw 190 has been grounded due to mechanical issue. On departure from Albury, the Fw 190 had issues with the canopy coming away from the aircraft on departure. It was hoped that there could be some sort of resolution. But we have been notified that this has caused unresolvable issues at this time and had grounded the aircraft. Both Wings Over Illawarra, the Fw 190 owner and all concerned are devastated.

Yep. Having looked at a local Corby (it still has its canopy) I now agree.

Cessna Corvalis series?? http://www.prairieaircraft.com/media-gallery/detail/115/148

Watch this video by CASA to understand CASAs rules for Au drone ops. (Video previously posted on another thread by FT) https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=481323502060676 Note that the public are told to keep drones down to 400 feet in controlled airspace. I wonder if a member of the public would even know where controlled airspace is or even estimate heights of 400 feet.

Congratulations Frank

Sorry Turbs, As OP I did not post the last 4 paras from your post 674 "you can obtain........any other aero engine". See Post No 1 this thread. You or someone else must have added this. Don't attribute this to me. I own a Jabiru and fly it regularly.

Hi RJW RA School YWOL Bruce Robbins http://www.flyillawarra.com.au/contact-us/

Brilliant website KB

Chief pilot resigned and everything stopped. Heavily reported in the Illawarra Mercury about a month ago. I heard yesterday that the business has been sold to a new owner. No contact number for him yet but I saw the AP hangar doors open yesterday with aircraft static inside. C152 and Cherokee. Aerial Patrol and an engineering business was caught up in the mess. Alternatively there is an RAA ultralight school operating at YWOL with Alpha and Jabiru aircraft if youre interested in Rec flying.

Hi RJW Ring and check before going. NSW Air have been out of the air for a month.

Glad you're safe Kasper. They say any landing you can walk away from is a good landing. Hope the trike is repairable. Regards JEM
