  1. Actually I was wrong. Just did some tests, unfortunately the SE2 turns off the ADSB radio (or blocks the data) if there is no GPS fix, which is possibly a software bug, or "design feature".
  2. I didn't notice delay, but generally AvPlan knows and shows my location instanteniously (dependent on phone, ipad, device..) , and as soon as SkyEcho is turned on I start receiving other traffic. GPS is a separate receiver and is not required for receiving other aircraft's GPS positions via ADSB radio. Having both ADSB-OUT and IN functionalities is much better value for money.
  3. You can use both for all calculations. If using E6B for high speeds in the range 220kt - 700kt, you'll need to buy additional high speed slide. https://www.flightstore.com.au/asa-high-speed-e6b-slide
  4. Which exam? E6B for PPL/CPL exams CR3 for ATPL exams Google "casa <your exam> permitted material", and bring everything permitted. eg. https://www.casa.gov.au/licences-and-certificates/pilots/pilot-and-flight-crew-exams/pilot-exams/private-pilot-licence-aeroplane-exams#Preparingforyourexam
  5. According to info from other forum, this is the switch https://octopart.com/4tl837-3d-honeywell-25749542 There are about 8 wires going out of switch and I believe there would be confirmation from multiple sources that the switch was actually physically moved, rather than controlled by some computer. Also one pilot asked another why cutoff the switch, etc... The question remains: why ? I hope that will be revealed in the Final report.
  6. Preliminary report: https://www.atsb.gov.au/media/news-items/2024/preliminary-report-bacchus-marsh-light-aircraft-accident
  7. Maybe try some hunting products such as snake gaiters?
  8. Sounds like failed barrel roll..
  9. It is Nav lights. Same is with Seminole.
  10. Congrats on your new aeroplane. SkyEcho2 (white box in top right corner) + Ipad mini cellular + AvPlan works for me.
  11. In my opinion it would be the powerlines which usually follow the roads.
  12. I am frequent visitor to Licola area and always hoping to see a training aircraft. VTC chart still has an information about random low level mil flying.
  13. Whilst gliding is great to teach a pilot balanced flying using a yaw string, which is an equivalent to a balance ball in powered aircraft, I wouldn't recommend gliding Spin recovery training to be used for powered aircrafts. Simply the recovery procedure is not the same. Due to long and high aspect ratio wings, the rudder and ailerons can be effective and used for recovery (personal experience). The FAA Glider Flying Handbook (also used by GFA) recommend slightly different Spin recovery procedure compared to powered aircraft (page 8-17): https://www.doc.glidingaustralia.org/index.php?option=com_docman&view=download&alias=2817-the-glider-flying-handbook&category_slug=gpc-resources&Itemid=101 To summarise, if you are flying powered aircraft, get the Spin training in powered aircraft.
  14. I wonder how much of "seniority gradient" was involved in this accident..
  15. He does almost the same in his 2nd video. Skiding turn Base to Final and reduces power all way back. The crash was at the aerodrome. Bad habits.
