    There's a place for that elsewhere on the forum and since it MAY be subject to a Court Process there's not a lot that the Magazine could write about it.. Have we all prejudged RAAus & Jill Bailey.? That's for you to consider, not debate here as there's such a thing as presumption of Innocence until PROVEN Guilty. EVERYONE should be entitled to it. Nev

    Never a straight answer from you. Anyone who's interested can look up the names. They are not critical to the discussion.. Motor sports are much easier to manage than "flying things" and the "Potential" Liability is a lot less. The "Black flag" is an analogy as you well know that can't be done with a plane. There's plenty of other things that are very different. You just won't ever accept that. Your lack of in depth Understanding of Aviation is constantly on show in this matter. Nev

    What's in it for them? All small aviation groups have an interest too. It's been a divide and conquer Manoeuvre. Used all through History. Only the CASA could breathe life into this and there you have somewhere Between Buckleys and a Snowflake in Hells chance there.. CASA want the easiest LIFE possible and who in there would stick their Neck out on this for the risk involved and No real Kudos within the system. People want the action and benefits of being on the cutting edge. in that game. Nev

    CASA was only one of many names for the One Government Body, so your first statement is misleading. Then you go on with your usual comparison with Motor sport and aviation. CARs don't FLY and you can't black flag a plane.. When planes slow down they fall out of the sky at the bottom of it. Cars just pull off the side of the track. Nev

    RAAus SAID "WE ARE the NEW GA " Years ago. Predictably that went down like a LEAD balloon. LtF they are still stall speed limited 45 Kts,.. Weight limit means you build light. Usually 310Kgs Basic Wt. That's good without carbon fibre. Nev

    Wasn't THAT what the Main Concern was all about? Member's Liability? Nev

    Has your last line become an established fact? Nev

    Thats just muddying the waters, The last reference is about appealing the Coroners Findings. A state Prosecutor DECIDES IF it goes to Court. I DON"T believe that has happened yet. Nev

    More of a distraction than a problem if you allow it to be. Nev

    That's the same report referred to in Jack's post. The Coroner does an Inquiry. That mentions a Court ( incorrectly I suggest). Nev

    You can't just make up your own rules and figures. Caution is fine. Have a lift off and climb, No go point and Pace it Out, before hand. Density altitude is what will kill you. IF she's not ready to take to the AIR then stop, where you have room to do it and unload or wait till Conditions change. Nev

    Has the DPP made the decision YET? To Me, that's still to be done. A referral is just that.. Nev

    Details won't be readily available or what is the Point?, Don't encourage Copycat behaviour. There's plenty of would Be Heroes. OUT THERE.. Obviously security will be further increased.. Nev

    IF everyone had that attitude Skip , this wouldn't be a place you'd want to come to. Plenty of people HAVE made constructive comment but you don't LISTEN unless they Completely agree with you.. BTW . That's a cop out. What have we learned from what you have posted that we didn't already know.? Also some of it is JUST WRONG in fact. Nev

    The Blind cannot lead the Blind, they say and learn from the Mistakes of others. You won't LIVE long enough to make them all yourself.. If you teach yourself you will have a fool as an instructor AND student. Ps. Not all instructors are good, but you should learn DESPITE that. Have a lot, if necessary and you don't have to be best friends with them (at the time) and expect NO favours. Nev

    You need the Latest type of charger with microprocessor technology, that you set for the Battery type. (NOT including Li Po etc) If your aircraft battery is completely isolated with Master off it shouldn't discharge but if there's a frost that will knock it down significantly,, say 15%. Repco have a model RBC8SS3 6v/12v and a bigger 12v only. The bigger one can reinvigorate a sulphated battery in most cases. Neither can be hooked up wrong. It reads ERR. and they can be left on for days without risking the battery. 150$ and 200$ respectively. retail. Using this sort of thing will extend battery life and your flying safety significantly.
