Risk of death from vaccine: 1 in 1 000 000. Risk of death from flying for an hour: 1 in 100 000. Risk of death from COVID > 1 in 1000. Risk of brain damage from delta variant (long COVID with cognitive symptoms) 1 in 10. I was happy to have AZ.

So, you definitely can overcome your airsickness.

Okay. How’s this? “At the moment, I am opposed to Chinese cars because the Chinese government wants to take over the world.” Are you happy with that?

And I had been so polite to you, too.

I used to even get sick on commercial flights and overcame it. I started off by playing games on my phone as a car passenger. That got me used to the decoupling of acceleration with visual input. It will stop you associating the airplane with feeling sick. Thrill rides at theme parks are another option. I spent 2.5 months going to Dreamworld to overcome my fear of stalls. I could help with airsickness too.

You don’t know how cloth got in your engine? Maybe whoever last rebuilt it knows?

I prefer that software works properly.

Calling me racist was a jerk move. You wrote a lot but very little was about whether or not China wants to take over the world. In fact, in our era, China has invaded Tibet, Korea and Vietnam and had border clashes with India and Russia. It has bern in conflict with Japan over islands. It has invaded the sea space of lots of Asian neighbours with the nine-dash line in the South China Sea. The belt and road initiative is designed to, amongst other things, control other countries through debt. With China’s wolf warrior “diplomacy” has been a disaster for them. They could have quietly gone and bought the world, so to speak, but showed their hand ranting any time someone criticises them. You wasted a lot of time saying how great China is compared to the US and India. I agree with those comments, but they don’t contradict my point. To return to calling me racist: kindly demonstrate that my comment was racist or retract the allegation. It is very poor form to accuse someone of racism when they are not racist and have not done anything racist. China and Taiwan have basically the same ethnicity, but China is basically saying that they will invade Taiwan, another place they intend to take over. How can I be racist against Chinese when I fear for Taiwan? Same race, genius.

HF probably stands for HF Area I suppose. OzR said they will add info to the docs. That is the advantage of whinging instead of being resourceful and stoic.

No I don’t (I know). But the HF frequencies are in the Planning Map and the ERSA, both of which are in the app.

Wow. Classic latent error material right there. I thought that notams were displayed in chronological order. Were there 57 more recent notams?

Hyundai cars used to be awful. Now, I actually think that they are a little bit actually cool. It's like they are the new Holden, and Nissan and Mitsubishi are a bit yawn. I am biassed. But I enjoyed driving my Hyundai i30 more than the more expensive more refined Mazda 3. The main thing was the seats were more comfy. At the moment, I am opposed to Chinese cars because the Chinese want to take over the world. But it is good to know that your Chinese stuff has been going well. Motoring writers emphasise handling and what not. They can't understand (for want of a better word) why the Hilux is more popular than the Ford Ranger. The reason is reliability.

Hi

From what Turbo said, you need to get competent legal advice ASAP and before you do anything. In my limited experience, you need a senior lawyer, with the right expertise, who really does know what they are talking about. Also in my limited experience, if you get advice from the lawyer and proceed on your own, your fees are reasonable. If you get the lawyer to go off and do things, or, worse still, have people communicate with the lawyer, fees get stupid and utility deteriorates fast.

If what you say is true (and it sounds it is) this could be the most important post on this site ever.

The issue was that the data could not update. My login details were rejected. When I logged in, after some difficulty, OzR went back to functioning normally. BUT I didn’t know about tapping and dragging on the box like you mentioned! Which is interesting. It would not have worked, I expect because the problem was related to my log in credentials. OzR support did not mention what you mentioned. I believe that the software is supposed to update every time you open the program. That is what has happened every time before and since. AND You are not the first person who has told me I overthink things.

Actually, on the subject of documentation, I thought that if I could not tell the difference between CTR and CTA then that was on me because I don’t know enough about flying. On reflection, I am in Australia, and two of the acronyms were not used in Australia. That means that there was no source that I could go to to look up the meanings. The meanings will/ differ depending on what country you are in. That means that the meaning of the acronyms should have been in the documentation.

Well, one of the reasons is that I am using the app backwards. That is, using the airspace function to teach me about airspace. I figure, if there is an acronym to do with airspace then I should know what it means. None of the meanings of the acronyms were explained in the documentation. It turns out that two of them are not even used in Australia. As for what I am interested in, I need to be able to see any airspace below 10 000 feet that is not marked on the hybrid visual map. That means that I need to be able to see Class FIA and a little Class E. I need to be able to see controlled airspace but that is on the hybrid map (except for a little around Alice Springs!). I also don't think that it is too much to ask that the documentation contains the following, that support sent me. CTR is the zone, that goes from ground level. CTA is the other controlled areas. TMA is not used in Australia ATZ is not used in Austrlia My HFA still does not work. That is a genuine bug. Also, the HFA does not state the frequency that is used. In some ways, my expectations are actually LOWER than the developers. They have put things in that I would not have worried about and some of the things are broken. I didn't ask for rhumb lines vs great circle lines. They did that themselves and it was broken! Also, they have made a classic software developer mistake of putting out new versions before they have fixed the bugs in what they have already produced. That causes what developers call a tech debt. That is, you already have bugs, and then you add more features, you are likely to produce more bugs, have even more bugs and have things harder to sort out. OzRunways has another bug that I did not mention to you. I submitted a flight plan (I got an email back to say that it was successful) but the weather a) had not updated and b) had not said that it had not updated. I was looking at the Smart Briefing as if it was today, but it was from several days ago. If I had not checked the dates, I would not have known. That is actually a dangerous bug. So, I am a very junior pilot and I have found *three* *actual* bugs in the software. That is not good. There are probably more.

So yours works properly?

My flying instructor might have just got lucky then🤷‍♂️

As you know, if you long press on the/a map, a list of airspaces at that point show up. If you select one, the boundaries of that space will be shown on the map. Contents of email I just sent to OzR is as follows. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Please tell us about your experience with OzRunways: As you know, you can long tap the map and get the option to display the boundaries of the airspaces at that point. My concerns are as follows. 1. The documentation does not say what selecting the different spaces will display. 2. I am not surprised because embarrassment because of the following 3. CTR should display C and D, but hardly displays anything 4. HFA does not display anything. And it’s for emergencies! 5. ATC seems to only be high 6. TMA displays nothing 7. ATZ displays nothing 8. There is no option to only display areas at or below, say 9900 feet AMSL. 9. You should tell people who are unsure to also tick EFREQ and FIA. Also, I told you a year ago that your great circle distance returned the same distance as the rhumb distance and you still haven’t fixed or ‘disabled’ the feature.

Thank you! I had no idea you could display the FIA boundaries over the WAC in Oz Runways!

So, I will be using WAC’s. As far as I can tell, I will need to transfer the Brisbane Centre frequencies from the low level planning map to the WAC (maybe with a green Sharpie), indicating the pink and purple coverage areas from the planning map (maybe with a brown Sharpie) and writing the AERIS frequency here or there. As personal preference I will be marking some aerodromes/ALA’s with elevation, circuit height, CTAF, runway orientation, any right hand circuits and any AWIS. So, how come WAC’s don’t have frequency boundaries and radio coverage marked on them? Also, is it obvious which centres have the transmitters for Brisbane Centre if I inspect where the centre of the pink circles will be? Also, also, is there some chart about that already shows the boundaries of the Brisbane Centre frequency areas on it? It would help if people knew when to change frequencies, although iPads probs fix that issue now. Thanks!

Apparently, if its important you can get them to speed it up. Like, if you can’t work.

So, CASA decided to big note themselves by postponing pilots needing to submit medicals. Consequence a) the postponement cones to an end, causing consequence b) they get a rush of applications, causing consequence c) above. Aren’t managers supposed to think ahead?
