  1. My understanding is all ADS-B receivers use GPS height to give you plus or minus your own ship.
  2. How about a little structured, polite discussion ? There are also many state and federal laws about the quality, storage and sale of retail petrol. One or two of the smaller chains have from time to time had issues with undocumented ethanol (altho not recently) and dirt and water in storage tanks. For this reason I only purchase (for cars, motorcycles and planes) from the main chains Ampol, Shell, BP and 7/11 (Mobil). When filling from a container I use a Mr Funnel filter. No refuelling process is ever perfect, including from airfield suppliers, but this works for me.
  3. IOR AvPULP price is currently 200.0 cpl at all the limited locations they have it (according to IOR Fuelcharge app). $4.15 for 100LL at Birdsville was a shock but I guess the freight prices are high.
  4. Yep, if you are transiting thru Camden that would be a reasonable convenience markup. Checked IOR Fuelcharge app and it is indeed 200.0 for AvPULP at Camden. App did not ask for a credit card.
  5. For many years now most (all?) states have had laws requiring servos to declare the ethanol content in their fuels. Maybe this was an issue 15 years ago but it has not been for a while but sure why not stir it up to counter questions about your price 🙂 Anybody have any info of on airfield AvPULP 98 prices ? Camden would be good as the NSW Fuelcheck app lets you quickly compare. I can see the BP truckstop has PULP 98 for 182.8 per litre (I am ignoring smaller brands) Obviously you have to hump it but if the difference is enough then it may be worth it.
  6. Just wondering what the actual difference is between this and the 98 PULP at the servos (apart from the price).
  7. To transfer a RPC cross country endorsement to a RPL navigation endorsement you need to do an extra 3 hours solo cross country (total 5 hours solo cross country) and one of those trips needs to be 100 NM with 2 full stop landings away from your base.
  8. <click photo for a bigger picture> I guess we should talk about the actual new efises. GDU116B - base model, 11.6 inch screen, fits same mounting hole as 10 inch G3X Touch, faster processor, sharper screen, lots of small feature updates, minor wiring changes, internal VFR GPS, $8-9K Aus $. GDU116C - all the above plus, internal audio panel, internal com radio, internal IFR GPS, $26K ? GDU116NC- all the above plus, internal audio panel, internal com/nav radio, internal IFR GPS, $33K ? Needs current model ADAHRS, GEA25 (sensor interface) etc Also works with the current model IFR navigators, ADSB transponder, AP controller, radios, standby instruments (G5, GI275)
  9. If you are not going to maintain your RPL/PPL then getting it added to your RPC (when it becomes available) saves you duplicating the training/hours cost. Then you just maintain your RPC (BFRs).
  10. Not sure what a new 182 is but a new 172 is over a million today. It comes with two Garmin efises.

  12. A plane is also more expensive with a modern LSA being $300k plus. Both the new plane and avionics are very capable.
