    How much is a new rec/reg ? Buying a new one and trying it would save a lot of time and 'pointsforpilots.blogspot' recommends Rotax owners carry a spare regardless.

    Just so you know, an engine doing 8,500 rpm is not considered high reving in the motorcycle world. Of course motorcycles, when being used in high performance mode, have constantly varying revs and do not sit at any revs continuously. It appears to have a watercooled cylinder and head which keeps noise quite low. I did see that the 4 cylinder engine was listed without a gearbox so I do not see how this would work in a plane.

    I do not believe the G5 has any screen that displays ADSB traffic.

    The Garmin G5 is a mini EFIS with no ADSB or ability to control an ADBS-B transponder so no rebate for a G5.

    Seems to be just aligning regs with what GA can do. Still cannot have a school plane 'on condition' in RAAus which I understand you can do in GA.

    I thought 24 and 23 were both factory built ?

    A lot of people using them in the US. Only issue is it takes weight away in front of the firewall and and effects w&b.

    That does not sound right. I suspect that is the RV12 price WITHOUT the engine or avionics.

    Do you have a GPS position for Frogs Hollow ? Ignore me, it is in Garmin Pilot. YFGS S 36 45.583 E 149 48.267 DD MM.MMM
  11. BurnieM
    So 8 days ?

    That is a lot of battery power for a very small distance travelled (55km).

    No solar panels I can see. Requires 4 men to handle the enormous power cord ?

    Its also a SAAA information document. This may or may not be all the current CASA requirements.
  15. BurnieM
    But if you have never done the paperwork for class 1/2 but have the same conditions you can get class 5 ? Wonder if this will change after class 5 review.

    My understanding is that the Rotax specified full synthetic oil was developed because the 916 ran hotter than expected and Rotax wanted a full synthetic to handle the heat. There are known problems with most full synthetic oils not being able to suspend the lead (from Avgas) so a huge amount of testing and changes to the oil additives were performed until they found a suitable additives package. Appears that the 912UL, 912ULS, 912IS, 914 and 915 can run fine on the Shell aero oils.

    Yep. You need an ASIC before applying for a RPL or PPL. I believe you do not have to maintain it after the first issue.
  19. BurnieM
    What we need is the same system as the country with the Twin Towers incident that started all this.
  20. BurnieM
    Nope you do not need an ARN either. Ask me how I know 🙂
  21. BurnieM
    Not correct. I have an ASIC and I do not have a CASA license. However, I believe all the ASIC issuing companies want you to verify your identity at sub-agents (PO etc) that only exist in Australia. So arrive here, apply for ASIC, 6 weeks later (as at Nov 24) receive ASIC, apply for CASA license, wait ? weeks, then fly.

    "Analysis paralysis" Analysis paralysis is the inability to make a decision due to overthinking or overanalyzing a problem, often resulting in inaction. It can occur when faced with numerous options, too much information, or the fear of making a mistake. Frequently a mid range or non-optimal product or action is better than no product or action at all.

    Do we need to analyse this to death ? 'Repair in a can' products are cheap and in some circumstances (mainly with tubeless tyres) useful. They are less useful with tubed tyres where the tube sometimes tears. 'Repair in a can', spare tube, tools to remove the wheel and the tyre from the wheel and a pump are still cheap and relatively light weight. Buy it, chuck it in the back and hope to never use it.

    Hard to say. Thoma Bravo does have a reputation for purchasing software companies and then developing them so all is not lost (yet).

    Not sure where to put this. https://investors.boeing.com/investors/news/press-release-details/2025/Boeing-to-Sell-Portions-of-Digital-Aviation-Solutions-to-Thoma-Bravo-for-10-55-Billion/default.aspx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDEz8U44BKQ
