Love to fly

The Garmin transponder (ADSB IN/OUT) is cnnected to the Garmin 650 and Garmin G3X. So audio and display alerts are independent of any portable devices, phones, tablets etc. I could use Bluetooth to also show them on the ipad but there is no need.

Nope. Not this time. DJPacro responded to my query above.

Didn't think you were referring to me 🤔😂 And hadn't heard it before. Thanks for the explanation kind sir.

WAG?

It's awful. But please be careful saying they were flying below legal minimums. FR24 isn't adjusted for QNH and that could easily make the difference. Family & friends could easily be impacted by statements like this.

Below minimum legal height? 100ft too low? Are you using altitude from FR24, adjusted for QNH? Had they been flying along too low? Or descended due to an onboard issue? I've no idea. Just bloody sad at the loss of 3 lives. Can't even imagine what the families and friends are going through. Hope they are well supported.

Yep. We've been a few times. But always had to send in form prior, and check on the day as per their website. If there's a way to do it enroute, ir even on the day I can see us going there more often.

Have you managed to get permission for Milawa while on the way there? As well as the required update on the strip? Genuinely interested.

I'm surprised at this. I've never flown one but, there are 2 at the RAAus school here on the Murray. Several friends have done their ab initio training in them and I don't know anyone who has had any problems. We're at the airport and they seem to be flying a lot.

Actually I think training in interpreting weather forecasts across different areas is really important for cross country flying. And without it it could be very difficult to make informed devisions as to whether a flight is safe to make.

Great to know. I was there a month ago, and informed by one of the instructors at Adelaide BiPlanes that their weather station wasn't publicly accessible. Silly me didn't go and check for myself.

Apparently them may have to 'restart' the inquest due to significant information being made available by RAAUS on Friday, the last day of the inquest. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02-04/mathew-farrell-fiancee-system-failed-inquest-plane-crash/103414984

Like what? Bass Strait has different challenges. Being comfortable with one, doesn't necessarily reflect on the other. No sarcasm or other was intended.

No hills on Bass Strait though 🤔
