  1. Hi Phil, where can one buy UK charts over the net - just in case I want to fly Hadrian's Wall or around Scotland on my next visit? Cheers
  2. In the case of the old RAA and the punishment from CASA, it was less defiance on the part of RAA but much more about gross stupidity by RAA. Even when faced by a revolt by the members, the response by the majority (edit: or a significant minority) was ill tempered. We can continue to blame CASA but we need to keep the boards of RAA, GFA and the others in check so they don't behave like the RSL (NSW), the local sports clubs and telephone companies.
  3. Kasper, I didn't say it was easy so your funny is appropriate. In view of your efforts in the past, Edvard Munch's “The Scream” would be a more appropriate like as it would be a sought after like for quite a few others.
  4. The self administering organisations are democratic and can be changed.
  5. Not just the "tribal" types but the basic education of some of the good old boys was pretty bad.
  6. Dave's Flying School Contact Details: Telephone: Home: 02 4777 4566 Mobile: 0414 740 766 Or call John Taru, his Senior. Instructor 0408 202 009
  7. What are the rules about boundaries to roads, lanes, travelling stock routes and the like?
  8. Although, in the vast majority of cases, flooding is caused by rain or tide or tsunami.
  9. It appears that some want to self certify their own BFRs. An interesting concept.
  10. Now that we know where you are, a bunch of planes from Sydney Flying Club will overfly your strip between 1030 and 1230 on 11th August on their way to Cape York. You have been warned!!!
  11. It is en I would suspect that it is entirely in the interests of the coalition to get Hanson and Ashby. Where are the PHON(y) going to go? They will probably drift back to the right wing of the LNP and continue to promote and support flat earth policies.
  12. Old Station, near Kempsey. You're not Ian Dunbar's massage service are you?
  13. Smoky Cape?
  14. This one is Crescent Head
  15. For most people - at least those that drive manual cars - their understanding is based up "he dropped the clutch, it kangaroo hopped and then stalled, right next to a policeman at the lights"
  16. And a number of trolls and malcontents.
  17. Any officer of a company remonstrating about not being insolvent or claiming "all hands on deck and fair sailing" while the company is in indifferent condition might find themselves the subject of fairly hefty penalties if the company goes into administration.
  18. The C30 was built in Belgium.
  19. YWOL - home of a great Steak Sandwich with Bacon and Egg at HARS!
  20. I said "The new class 2 rules will allow for a range of commercial non-passenger activities including being an instructor." I didn't say that this applied to "Basic Class 2", which is a different beast.I am not a mouthpiece for CASA but it would appear that the (full) Class 2 Medical change is for the more mature end of the Instructor spectrum who "might" find it difficult to maintain a Class 1 Medical, or those who don't want to go through the hassle of a Class 1 but want to maintain a place in the industry so they can continue to earn a quid or they like flying and instructing (and getting paid). If I was a youngster I would be seeking and maintaining a Class 1 medical to provide me with the flexibility to do a wide range of commercial jobs including being a senior captain on A380s and role changes at a moments notice.
  21. The new class 2 rules will allow for a range of commercial non-passenger activities including being an instructor. The Basic Class 2 is predicated on the Commercial AusRoads standards. What we don't know is if it will allow a Conditional (medically constrained) Commercial licence holder to have a Basic Class 2 medical. The devil is all in the detail - like the RAMPC.
  22. It would be a sorry world if people could not be compelled to take charge of their actions and responsibilities.we might go back to vigilante states and anarchy. There are problems with limited liability as people use them to avoid responsibility.
  23. It is sad that "Tannkosh" at Tannheim is no longer happening, a great big friendly OzFly type weekend.
  24. With a constantly evolving language who's version of English is English. Is it a "vice" or "vyce"? A "gaol" or "jail". The essential engredient of our language is to continue to laugh at the french who are still having problems with "le five o'clock", "le hamburger" or "restrauter".
  25. You can fly Jabirus and other RAA planes into YSCN and YSBK. There are a number of RAA planes based at both. You can only fly these planes if you hold both an RPC and GA licence (with CTA endo) or operate under a training exemption.
