    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.

    Someone has to keep the never ending story thread going 😉🤣

    I found Pilot Practice Exams ( https://www.pilotpracticeexams.com )and the Bob Tait books worked best for me to lock in the theory. Doing a bit every day helped me to remember the theory, even if it was just 20 minutes reviewing topics I had found challenging. I also stick "cheat notes" on the wall behind my desk and around my monitor so I can refer to them regularly and help commit them to memory

    I think the Briggs is rated at 27hp for the ~800cc motor, A Rotax 477 makes 40hp and is ~5kg lighter I will be looking at a Rotax Rick big bore when my 582 needs rebuilding

    Thanks Skip, I'll refrain from responding and put him back on my ignore list. It's just sad that a couple of members degrade the content of what it otherwise a great resource

    I was here for 2 years before I called you out on your made up "facts". I then suffered your usual attacks when I dared question your opinion you presented as a fact. I don't try to cut you down to size, you cut yourself down to size with your made up facts and the inability to construct a sentence with correct grammar, spelling and punctuation. I only challenge your poor behaviour and spreading of misinformation, it is not an attack on EVERY aspect of you. You are doing a great job of building a reputation for spreading inaccurate opinions as fact and attacking anyone who disagrees with you.
  19. T510
    Calling you out for posting your own made up truths is not an attack. What you see as a "Pile On" is people calling you out for poor behaviour. You disregard other peoples experiences and attack them when they show you are wrong. You need to work out the difference between a fact and your opinion because until you do you are the problem
  20. T510
    Just because you don't see 2 strokes flying in your extremely narrow field of view does not mean there are not plenty still out there. Once again you show your inability to accept other peoples experiences without making disparaging comments. It is a sad case when you can not learn from other people and only push your owned flawed opinions. Your insistence on forcing your often inaccurate opinion on others and attacking people who disagree with your fiction makes it hard to want to contribute to this forum.

    I have sent you a message Geoff

    Can always get one of these if you really need better access https://www.amazon.com.au/Extension-Universal-Passenger-Motorcycles-Recreational/dp/B0GMGQB43G?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=AUY1YP5N03LIE

    Maybe putting an aviator watch on is the equivalent of taking a plunge in icy water

    You are the one who took the conversation below the belt Nev, everyone else was happy focusing on the wrist till you started discussing other pilots packages. To drag the conversation back on topic, I was dubious as to how much use I would get out of a smart watch until I got one as a bonus when I upgraded my phone a few years ago. Now I prefer them and see that Garmin D2 having functions like INREACH, live tracking, satellite SOS and the ability to use it as a back up for weather and navigation makes for a handy risk mitigator and backup device should I have multiple failures. I also like having the health and fitness monitoring capabilities amongst the other non aviation functions.
  25. T510
    Seems you are a bit too interested in what other pilots are packing in their pants Nev. What does wearing an aviator watch say about a female pilot for that matter?
