    Hi there, Love my plane. Love to fly. I have always found people really helpful when putting planes in and out of hangars. I wouldn't let this stop you finishing your license. Perhaps you could take friends flying on the basis that they help you get the plane put, and put it away again? Cheers, D'

    Not a typo if you read the ATSB report linked above by djpacro. The sentence I posted in italics is a cut and paste from the report. Hence the comment I made. And yes my understanding of a normal spin recovery aligns with yours.

    The PIC reported that at this time he performed his normal recovery procedure from this manoeuvre: maintained a neutral aileron control position, applied forward pressure on the control stick to pitch the aircraft nose down, rudders neutral and applied power. I'm challenged again. The instructor was PIC. And the initial actions taken be him were as above. Methinks this might have been one of the hazards of being a passenger. Or am I reading this wrong.

    The last email I received from SAAA clearly stated funds had been pledged and that it was on. Have you heard something different??? And yes we are planning on attending.

    I no longer breed dogs, and definitely wouldn't have an unwanted Vizsla. My last one died about 5 years ago. She reached a good age and had been a fantastic family member. I would love another Viz but my current lifestyle wouldn't be fair on the dog. I'm a woman, not small or slight, but used to commute to work in the RV and at times got some very strange looks getting out of the aircraft in a dress. :)

    And as an aside, Sue I often get asked if I'm Flying Vizsla since I had Vizsla's for many years. And my last one was well known at the airports I went to. Yours looks gorgeous. Big pat from me. :)

    AvPlan being told they were excluded is hardly what caused this mess, more about the fact that they were excluded. Still it's now history so lets move on. And as stated previously I think it's a pity OzRunways pulled out. They didn't need to. And as naming sponsor they would be afforded the publicity that goes with that. AvPlan going along and paying the requested fee as a normal stand/display holder etc would not have impacted and would allow people to compare products etc. This would have avoided all the negative publicity and angst. Hopefully a compromise has been/is being reached and all will go ahead as planned.

    Why always so negative? First I've seen of $60,000 being needed is your post. Doubt if that was the amount of the OzRunways exclusive sponsorship deal. And AOPA also put out a call to their members to contribute to the SAAA fund raising drive and raised $8,000, I think in the first night.

    Hi there, I'm assuming (and you don't need to answer or provide any further information) that this relates to the pre-existing condition and insurance/workcover or similar. I hope it all gets sorted, and that you suffer no costs related to any exacerbation from helping at the crash site. Sad world if people have to analyse all these things before stepping up to help. Take care of yourself.
  13. Love to fly
    Still down here. I've tried both the phone and the PC. But it's okay. I've looked out the window and decided to stay on the ground today.
  14. Love to fly
    I've just tried Essendon and east Sale. Same result? European ones all seem to work though. Just realised NAIPS is still down. If that's where they get the info that might explain it. AvPlan is showing TAFs and METARs though.
  15. Love to fly
    aeroweather tells me no data available for Moorabbin. Is there a trick I'm missing?
  16. Love to fly
    I hope you were not on your own, or on your own for long when you got there. And that you have people you can talk this through with. Don't discount the effect that it may have on you and look after yourself.

    Hi, hadn't read it on the ABC, fake or otherwise, but I did read the article in the Sun that Biggles referred to when he opened this thread. 'Small plane crash lands in Clyde North Andrea Hamblin, Herald Sun 21 minutes ago A PERSON is fighting for life and a man is trapped after a small plane crash-landed in a paddock southeast of Melbourne.' Lower down in this article it referred to 'The man is in a serious but stable condition'. The link I put in just went to the other thread on this forum that was already running. Can't read your link as it just tells me to subscribe. And I think the articles have been updated to provide the information re the flying school that wasn't there previously. But regardless I hate the way the media sensationalise things. If the ABC was presenting the information in the same way then my views about them are the same. So unfair to family and friends to read this type of stuff. Hope the guys are both okay.

    That's great. Thanks poteroo. I'm formation endorsed but not current. Never occurred to me to put the number of aircraft in the formation in my logbook .. but I probably should have.

    My plane came from the West :) I brought it back from Jandakot some years back. But we are fractionally further East than Bernie. Also thinking about trip to the West. Had hoped to go this August but still not quite ready so not sure if later this year now, or next year.
  20. Love to fly
    Think this thread is about the same incident. And further down the sensationalist Sun article it says 'The man is in a serious but stable condition'. So hopefully not fighting for life. Lightly down at Clyde North in Victoria

    Hi Yenn, I have an anti-glare screen protector on my iPad. Helps enormously with the glare in my RV. May be worth a try.
  22. Love to fly
    I have used both OzRunways and AvPlan. Changed to AvPlan years ago and love it. It gives weather displays clearly on the map, and highlights active prohibited areas. I have a glare filter on my iPad and find it readable in a glary RV cockpit. I also use MyFlightBook on my phone to keep my log book. Makes it so easy for she who traditionally struggles to remember to put flights in the log book.
  23. Love to fly
    AvPlan does let you turn on, or off, the ability to edit the flight plan on the screen? The default is off, so you would need to touch a spot and add it as a waypoint. Not that easy to do accidentally?

    Cables near the terminal building would be great. Near the car etc. but until they do I'll keep parking the RVs on the grass. But getting the stakes in through the gravel etc in the grass can be quite difficult.
