Hope they had their brown pants on......

Baron is a twin and will fly on one engine so unless both fans stopped it would suggest it may be something else

I do a bit of work out at Pucka and often get GPS spoofing alerts. The School of Artillery has a very active UAV program running out there so they could be playing with all sorts of interesting tech

The one that best suits the weather conditions. In the early days of the Aerosonde they used to use human pilots on the controls for the take off and landing phases, very much like a RC aeroplane. Pretty quickly worked out that the autonomous autopilot did a much better job than the human equivalent. By using the autopilot the cases of take off and landing incidents was reduced massively

An Australian company, Aerosonde, did an autonomous unmanned Tran Atlantic flight it 1998. https://www.washington.edu/news/1998/08/21/aerosonde-robotic-airplane-completes-historic-trans-atlantic-flight/

Maybe you should check the regulations rather than spouting misinformation. CASA Part 91 MOS covers the requirements

Cannula's are approved by CASA and FAA up to 18,000ft as long as they meet the required specifications. No recommended for mouth breathers though..... Anyone saying that they are not is just spreading misinformation

Just saw a report saying it will be rebuilt to flying condition. Great to hear that it will fly again

Sad day, unfortunately I have read that it will most likely be restored for static display

My local field does not charge landing fees, you do need to request permission if you want to land and we are limited on the number of movements a year. We also have a limitation on the number of aircraft. It costs $40 a week for a hangar site (if you have a hangar) and when there is a hangar slot available for aircraft storage it tends to go for around the same amount per week. Probably part of the reason there is a waiting list. We share the workload of maintaining the grass runway and are careful not to chew it up when it gets a bit wet.

Put him on ignore mate, your contributions here are valued.

Just put him back on ignore, he rarely posts anything relevant and expects other posters to do what he says and not what he does. The only downside is you still see his comments when he is quoted.

I use a FlyBoys knee board for cross country flights with a CASA flight planning notepad and run an Ipad Mini with OzRwy for my EFB with it installed on my phone as a backup. I have charts relevant to my area and recently upgraded to a Jeppesen CR-3 flight computer as I was struggling to read my old CR-2. I found a Flight Rule Scale ruler and Navigation protractor great for cross country flight planning pre flight. Personally I like to plan on paper maps and confirm it using OzRwy. In flight I use OzRwy for my maps but I don't follow the magenta line. I prefer to only pull up the maps when I want to confirm my position

RAAus stuffed up massively by only allowing appropriately qualified CASA Part 66 licence holders to maintain Group G aircraft. Especially with CASA/SAAA bringing in owner maintenance in the near future. In the RAAus meet the team livestream (that only got 14 attendees and has had 140 views to date) they blame the drop of members and aircraft on the RPL and pilots transitioning through RAAUS for the cheaper flight training before moving on to GA. They said RAAus membership has dropped to ~7000 and that 1000 aircraft have dropped off the system.
