This means the site WAS hacked if they are able to upload malicious programs. This is no good, I will have to go and change passwords etc. AGAIN. Why can this happen, is it your computer Admin, or is it the computer of some of other moderators which is infected.

Nothing to do with RAA Auditors. This is the first box of mangoes heading to Brisbane Markets !

Probably "file footage"

Apparently not great

Bugger. 42, family, and a whole life ahead. 😪

There have been helicopters coming and going but RESCUE 440 just stays overhead ? Any updates ?

Thats ok, please send the reports and details to me by email if you can. [email protected] should be an interesting read

The problem with this report is that it also incorporates Rotax two-stroke engines failures in its results and not just Rotax 4 stroke engines. This makes the failure rate much better for Rotax if you drop the two-stroke engine range, which then makes it a lot worse for Jabiru. It's just impossible to get the real figures

https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2019L00926 I am guessing you complied with this at the time ? Try and find his anywhere else for any other aircraft excluding the Mini 500 "helicopter" “I, [insert name] PROPOSE TO TAKE A FLIGHT IN THE AIRCRAFT IDENTIFIED AS [insert registration information] (THE AIRCRAFT).

Some of us will be dead before there is a coronors report based on past findings, we dont have 10 years to wait!. I want to learn as much as a can within a reasonable timeframe

250 times more Rotax engines flying than Jab, more hours flown and so on. Statistics need to be on a level field

It came from a pilot in the area who heard the call, spoke to him today at the airport. How do you think they found the aircraft so quickly ? They knew where to look because of the pilots call. Do you want the pilot's name who heard the mayday call ? Don't shoot the messenger if there is something you don't like hearing.

Its reported by ATC in a mayday call. Not bashing but its a fact of life. You have a MUCH higher chance of an event in a Jabiru powered aircraft than anything else. Just ask CASA.

Jabiru with an engine failure AGAIN. RIP

10 million is 'just' outside my price limits unfortunately, maybe after tax time! Its impressive however !

I think the later, Plane Crash headlines sells papers or whatever they call it now, just like the headlines SHARK ATTACK, you have to click or look further, same with aviation.

Raa plane unfortunately. RAAus will support Queensland Police with its investigation, the body's chief executive Matt Bouttell said.

Pilot dead after plane crash in bushland south of Townsville - https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/australia/pilot-dead-after-plane-crash-in-bushland-south-of-townsville/ar-AA11GXfI?li=AAgfYrC

I am in Queesnland, any day less than 24 degrees is winter. Please help ! It was only 21 degrees today. 😉

Could you please ask them to send my parcels, they have been lost for about that long. A set of driving lights for the wagon and a winter coat. Winter will be over if they ever arrive.

Let me guess, they are north of Brisbane.

you sit in front of the wing in that aircraft so visibility forward and to the side should be reasonably good. It all comes down to just the same problem as most of them and that is we get distracted in the cockpit and don't keep a good enough look out. See and be seen, see and avoid and all the other things which are taught. Why couldn't ATC just say keep the left turn going you look like you are lined up on the wrong runway and there is traffic near you or something like that ?

I was only commenting on something which was on social media shortly after the accident. There could or could not be any truth to what I read regarding the runway clearances but they made it very clear in what I read that the Cessna was doing the right thing and the other aircraft dropped into the Cessna. Of course this information will be corrected at the start of the investigation. I was just commmenting maiinly about the fact that parallel runways have a lot of accidents especially when you havve students operating on contra circuits and they don't have the skills to turn properly yet or to maintain a centreline.

Yes, parallel runways AGAIN ! Should have been on right and tried to land on left. Most stupid aviation thing ever built, two runways side-by-side about 100 meters apart
