    An Instructor can't tell a Pilot He's not suited Mentally without risking a Lawyers intervention. That person was on our Recflying .You could tell HE was a RISK TAKER, especially IF you have training in Psychology, and /or Human factors. Nev

    Australia's problem is it's small Local Market. Exports are subject to the vagaries of trade deals. When Britain Joined the EEC they cut US off without a Prayer. Hockey told GM to Piss Off by an announcement in the Parliament. WTF? Nev

    It won't be done unless It's in CASA's Interests. Nev

    "A lot of fairy stories there?" Can't you do Better than that? Self administering doesn't guarantee survival. It just divests responsibilities FROM the body that WAS TASKED with the responsibility by the Government of the Land. CASA don't care if the shows go under as Long as they are a safe distance from it and can wash their hands of it. Aviation is NOT like the other things you have been involved with, Turbo. You won't recognise the Problems. Nev

    More People want everything GA has at 1/2 the price. That's the FACT. Two stroke engines are now less popular. A lot wish to be able to fly everywhere and can buy a plane off the hook. Nev

    Keen as Mustard. Fixed pitch Props too. Nev

    Sport flying is not meant to be cheap. It's got to have the Paperwork to appear that all is well, and let's face A lot know F all about planes and engines, but they like to fiddle and read silly stuff and know better than the designers and manufacturers and graduated at the SBR College. "She'll be Right". Nev

    Not comparable. GA is ICAO Compliant and CASA gets revenue from Aviation fuel sales. Relatively easy to manage whereas RAAus etc rely on a lot of dispensations to operate. That's NOT popular with the AUTHORITY and is the main reason about Problems with CTA access. Whether this SHOW continues or not rests with the CASA. They won't come right out and say it up front, so not having much clout and much public sympathy being realistic you are between a rock and a Hard place. For Now I'd say Back the RAAus. It's all you have except GA. I'd hate to be working for them. You can't win. They made a mistake in trying to be the "NEW GA", but maybe they felt that was the only way to go to survive in the longer term..Nev

    CASA just want rid of it. RAAus cannot well represent your Interests as I has to keep onside with the CASA. Nev

    No you don't OWN the Company. Thankfully. Subscriptions do keep it in business. Same as buying a subscription to National Geographic Nev

    Of course they would get and take lawyer advice. Thats where this thing has gotten to. You have to prepare for the worst or you are a dill when you are in a managing role.. Your last line doesn't reflect the world we are ACTUALLY IN. Nev

    That's deep and meaningful. Nev

    The information from the report enabled determination of the freezing level and I also have experience of severe Icing in That area something I doubt anyone interviewed would have had. Nev

    Stake Holder Engagement. What genius dreamt up that Department Title? Nev

    It's NOT a Wirraway. Nev

    Are you disputing anything I have said. . My "information" is from the report. Nev
  17. facthunter
    BY the system coping, but the Margin for error gets smaller, and the pressure gets higher. Nev

    The Coroner gets involved when a fatality happens His/her job is to determine the Cause of death. The Weather conditions were the cause of death. WHO decided to FLY that day.? The Pilot. No amount of training in any of the RAAus array of aircraft would have been of any benefit that day. He was considered an exceptionally adept pilot and stayed in the air longer than most who haven't flown IFR. Its Likely the ICE was the final straw.. Nev
  19. facthunter
    Not a realistic assumption They no doubt would be acting under Legal Advice. Nev
  20. facthunter
    Bit judgemental . They can't say much when being threatened with Prosecution. Nev
  21. facthunter
    So, WHAT is going on? Does the right hand Know what the left one is doing? Nev
  22. facthunter
    What does some Promo Picture Prove? You have been deaf to the problem forever.. Nev
  23. facthunter
    I have NO idea why you would come to that conclusion. In any case you continue to insist that No problem exists. IT DOES exist and could end most of the warbirds and the U'/Ls from flying as they wish to and HAVE done. . CASA have the say over the end game because they ARE the "AUTHORITY" .Nev
  24. facthunter
    At the end of the day It's about liability and whether CASA wants RAAus (oranything similar)to exist into the future No sensible person would join some Body. that exposes them to an unspecified potential liability that has no limit. Nev

    I'm not on trial here and not everyone reads into a document WHAT someone else might.. I've explained the Arms length concept applying.. No definite conclusion to some accident can be sourced/allowed from a Participating party. It has NO value. Documents and records should be available and provided and any technical matter that might have affected the outcome such as performance icing conditions of the Aircraft and any pilot. WHY would I presume to state what the Coroner was unaware of? Nor will I speculate on it. . Give it a break anyhow. Opinions counter to yours have a right to be expressed. Nev
