    When I was instructing in U'Ls it was after I did most of my career flying. How could a pilot NOT pass on stuff he KNEW had saved the situation when the opportunity is there. I wouldn't spring something like that on a student though. I did extensive briefings to cover the anticipated flight. Airwork. I've seen Instructors' who exude the Air of 'It's for me to know and you to wonder about." That is NOT me. To balance that You should NOT overcomplicate the early basics which are the foundation of everything .that follows. It needs to be consolidated at the time as well. Follow up. Nev

    IF you looked at the time of posting , TURBS you and I posted at identical times so How could I be responding to you? Look at the way YOU addressed ME in your post above. Hair triggered and based on assumption GA allow/ do it and RAAus don't. That's their decision and more restrictive than GA which we should never be. as was stated clearly earlier int he Game. by CASA. Nev .

    AS usual ,you are NOT Helping, turbs. Nev

    II think that is not relevant to the Main Issue which is RAAus attitude to the LL training being done at all (except mustering)., Designated training areas exist for most school training.. Nev

    There has to be a control surface to control Instability gives a quicker rate, of response that is well understood by people in the game. It's significant that it NEVER flew.. Nev

    I'm the one who sticks to the subject. READ carefully what I stated above and then tell me it's not important. This IS an Important matter directly related to SAFETY and should not be deflected, as it usually has been. Most of Turbos assertions are very contestable and I HAVE direct experience of these matters and involvement with RAAus.to draw on. Is this another subject where proper debate will be cut off by "Just play by the Rules and it will be fine" attitude?. Now don't $#!t me by saying YOU encourage people to break the rules. I'll answer for what I say and not what I get accused of saying as is often the CASE here, Unfortunately.. It should not have to be this hard. I'm only the messenger. Nev

    You are out of your depth turbs and just waffling. Not helpful to a proper consideration of this matter.. It's pure BS really what you just said. Denying someone training is more safe?? Many Instructors would never accept that. IT really defies LOGIC. I see it as bordering on criminal neglect and abrogation of responsibility.. Nev
  8. facthunter
    Of Course. You PLAN on that being available, or no night ops. Nev
  9. facthunter
    Well I'll let YOU into a little secret if you don't tell anyone. In such sessions I taught low level as well but you can't put it in the book or file.. Nev
  10. facthunter
    I can't see how it could possibly fly without some form of vertical stabiliser. Nev

    IF you need them something is wrong with your planning unless you did it deliberately and then you could expect to pay for the privilege of it working. It would have to be checked regularly by someone qualified and guaranteed to do it. It would have to be 100% reliable. Maybe even have a backup. Nev

    Your logic is ODD. Turbo. If you are a 3 hours per year person you wouldn't have recency in anything. needing a flight test assessment before you got into a plane by yourself. Any bounced landing resulting in a decision to go around. (wise thing to do) NEEDS low flying skills To do an outlanding you need low level skills to inspect where you intend to land. It's done in GA why not with RAAus where the need is arguably greater with 2 stroke or non certified motors.? They idea, don't train them or they will DO it defies logic.. Special skills taught the RIGHT way will acquaint the student with the risks involved. Nev

    That's fair enough . Make the field is important and don't get far downwind A very draggy plane can do an overspeed approach which is steep and not a lot faster. Allow for a double flair. IF the approach is into wind and the wind is significant, err on the faster airspeed side. ( reduces the time the wind is blowing you away) where the wind equals airspeed , you are not gaining any ground towards the runway at all. and IF you are out landing you don't know your height above the ground either. Into wind should be a priority Your kinetic energy is reduced there regarding the ground. Lower actual ground speed. =s less damage less ground run needed. Nev.

    You don't really know how the blades will track at different RPM's and it IS likely to vary. It's not likely to cause a significant problem in the real world but strobing your laser should pick it up if you're that interested. Nev

    Just a matter of being more self disciplined. Things work better if we are more orderly. Nev

    OK Brendon you started the Thread as Wooden Props. What has the crime rate (IN Victoria) got to do with THAT topic. Surely if it's that urgent it deserves it's own NEW THREAD. in" POLITICS". and "Off topic" Nev
  17. facthunter
    I mentioned the Legislation and the date it came into being and "their" situation and it's problems. All this is in the context of wooden props and OUR deteriorating performance in the self build and design area. Nev

    Nah Suppling the needs of miners is the surer way to find gold. Nev

    You entirely Missed my Point there. (as unfortunately. you often do.) . I don't want to live in YOUR Aviation world, turbs. Warbirds have an emerging world of pain with costs and safety of old components. There was a change of the regulations with warbirds Instigated by Darren Chester about 10 years ago so some Pollies have a try. They have an easy access website and a low cost joining option. IF you're interested support them. HARS gets contributions and many staff there work for free. All face high costs trying to preserve these ties with Aviations past. Nev

    Everyone wants something done. I just don't believe coppers giving people a harder time and locking more people up is the answer. Where and When has it ever been the ANSWER? Don't accuse ME of not worrying about it. Brendan. Thats complete BS. Your solution is too simplistic Ineffective and even worse damaging, and too costly. It's one of Dutton's quick fixes too already being applied in the NT and Qld and soundly condemned by Human rights people and the United nations and shaming us on the world stage. 10 year olds have LESS rights there than adults do. . IsTHAT OK? Nev
  21. facthunter
    WHAT are they under then.? News to me. Nev
  22. facthunter
    The view above I expressed is a widely held view amongst Active aviators. NOT what COULD happen IF things get changed. Many of us have waited years HOPING and contributing. By the way, who's submitting to the current survey by CASA on Radio Use? This is one you should input. Mc Cormick left in 2014.. 11 years ago.. Warbirds are under VH exp.. Nev
  23. facthunter
    John McCormick was Director of Aviation Safety from Mar 2009 to 39Aug 2014. Nev

    We continue the trend started by the complete disaster (for us) ex RAAF and Airline management, entity, John McCormick who would not have a bar of the way things were done in the U/L movement at the time. At the time he arrived we were up amongst the most progressive in the world. He Couldn't (Or wouldn't) understand or tolerate it. We have gone downhill since particularly in the increasing paperwork and associated confusion and cost. IF you wish to build restore or alter a plane GO GA (VH) Experimental. Nev

    The torched shops are Mainly tobacco shops and in the past anti Chinese., particularly in Perth. It's bad to want a clampdown and harsh laws when the causes are complex. Police action is often MORE forceful than Justified too . Qld and the NT have gone on LAW and Order promises to increase the already harshest Laws in the Country with populist TOUGH as low as age 10. The problems are social ones of neglect and foetal alcohol syndrome etc and will make them worse and shape/ruin their whole lives at enormous cost to the community. The MEDIA beats it up and people think there is an easy fix and want it.. There IS NO easy fix. Nev
