In which case they should be published on the council website just like there garbage disposal fees at their landfill stations. If enough people ring these councils up they may begin to get the message but it’s easier to brush off just one or two inquiries but if no one‘s gonna bother to take the time and collectively do something together for the better good of us all. Why because Australians are inherently lazy and only care about themselves🤢

Two things, you phone up the airfield owner and ask how much are their landing fees to pay them. If you then decide to fly there? you tell them you’re flying there and they can send you an invoice and you pay them direct.

Well, there is probably an easy solution. Everyone refused to pay AVdata and contact the airport owners directly, and offer to pay them?

So, pilots will simply not use their radio UNLESS they are actually landing? IF they are doing a Nav Exercise, their EFB logs the flight path? I see a future where pilots will turn off ADSB, Transponders etc to avoid Avdata and routes being logged, especially flying in more remote places. That includes placing their Phones in Go Dark bags as well, som phone towers don’t track their routes etc.

Yes, 50 years ago, pipe cutters in Sydney AFTER midnight 🤩

We should still have this choice 🤩

As an aside, at CASA meetings this week, there was discussion of interoperability between EFB software providers, ensuring ADSB data can be shared between platforms. Namely AvPlan and OZRunways. The discussion centred around mandating that ALL EFB software providers have interoperability between each other, including any new entrant to this field of software applications.

Everyone is looking for money, RAAus Membership is allegedly about 6500, new fees for Flying Schools I believe? Might be a tough time ahead for Aviation?

It’s one of the topics in a CASA meeting this week, they have a +$20mil black hole in their budget, due to tight fiscal allocation, from the Govt 🤢

It maybe a bait, keep people guessing? They are probably negotiating a better location and will spring it on us, closer to next years planned date 🤩

Two words sum up the modern World? HUMAN GREED

I would alleged RAAus sold the data, so Avdata could bill landing fees, direct to RAAus Stakeholders. RAAus had no rights to release our data to any third party, for any reason?

I would alleged RAAus sold Avdata our Stakeholder database, that information came to me from a spy in the sky. How does that make the Stakeholders feel? The organisation profiting from OUR data?

We once had it when the organisation was Incorporated, but all the members voted to ditch that and go to the current structure we have, and now the Chickens have turned to Emus and come home to roost🤢

Some of the RAAus Stakeholders will always be the ‘Vanguard’ even if the organisation is not. If RAAus folded tomorrow? There will still be torchbearers to carry on🤩
