    For Low level aeros, you use QFE which reads zero when on the ground. AVALON has an elevation of 35 feet AMSL Nev

    92 was the first year at Avalon. There would have been airshows at other Places before then. Pt Cook . I think I can recall going there and Williamstown NSW and Richmond NSW.

    I'd say because it was very Public. Nev

    What People will do to get noticed.. Nev

    Yes that's a typo. It was called Airshows Down Under at one stage. First time at AVALON, 1992 , Was nearly washed out. the Last time I went I flew my Citabria in. I Followed a "Black" Catalina that I could almost keep up with. Nev

    Probably would have cleared the ground on a "cooler" day An incorrectly set altimeter can cause this. ATSB are investigating. Hope the Pilot recovers OK. Nev

    Called "Diesel on Gas" Added more Power and probably needed a bigger radiator. Cleaner burning. Nev

    I would NOT advise that, though I understand the anger. Nev

    No you are not, but what Maintenance is associated with the airspace? In CTA you are using paid People so can be justified. Nev

    RV's have gone right into this. I think it mostly relates to Flutter. Roughly the True Airspeed is +20 at 10,000 Ft Nev

    I think ALL are welcome, but Ultralights will never be pre eminent. NATFLY doesn't have HEAVIES, nor should it. Nev

    I think I'd rather visit HARS. Nev

    Do wars only get fought on fine days? Nev

    There's Plenty of servos in VIC that don't have LPG anymore. Vic used to have the Most extensive coverage of any state. Nev

    Normally by today I would have had a lot of "Interesting planes fly over HERE on their way. Not ONE so far. Something's different. Nev

    In the 70's I got a free (industry) pass for the times I went there. I recall on one occasion Lots of Jabiru's flew in and one time about 4 of them bent their nosewheels as they were "asked" to do a landing involving a downwind component, Not realising they could/ should have requested a landing into wind. A bit over awed with the situation? Nev

    Why not? Roads get washed out. Remote places, by Rail to nearest Point. Nev t

    Use Electrified Rail Haulage. Unload at night. Nev

    There may also Be Nitrous Oxides produced with WATER. Also depends on the energy the grid is fed by. Nev

    Balloons don't have airspeed unless they have propulsion. Their groundspeed equals the winds speed/ Velocity Speed and direction. Your stall speed will stay the same (indicated) as you go higher but your actual speed through the Air will increase approx 2 kts/1000 feet. Nev

    Getting it from Fossil fuels is the worst of both. Hydrogen Leaks and embrittles Metal. Nev

    Back to Basics. GPS is not true airspeed unless you Know the Wind velocity, your groundspeed and track and sum the vectors. "Pilot Institute" will give you this stuff FREE.. .Nev.

    I do too, But is anyone really Interested anymore? Nev

    There's no need to bring in the election aspects of it in a scientific based article. Economically it either stacks up or it doesn't. I come for a Town based almost entirely on coal and steel production. Newcastle NSW Most of Australia's alloy steels were produced In Commonwealth Steel Companies Electric Furnaces. AWESOME things to be NEAR when they are operating... Nev..

Common with People who have been in War situations. Nev
