An FR24 screenshot - a C182 detected at Jandakot detected using MLAT ie no ADSB Out.

Quite a few aircraft in the training area DON'T have ADSB Out as it is expensive to add and most of the old GA trainers have old Mode A, C or S with no provision to upgrade to ADSB Out. The owners may upgrade when their current transponder dies or ADSB Out is mandated - ADSB Out isn't mandated for Day VFR or RAAus (yet). Aircraft without ADSB Out are captured to FR24 (and others) by MLAT (or other tech)

Was the FR24 enemy on ADSB-Out or MLAT (a construct by FR24 and others) - which uses transponder bounces to generate AC position info. Almost all GA have transponders but not all GA have ADSB out or EC. (nor need to have - unless they are IFR)

The problem with Parkes, and a lot of country strips, is the distance from civilisation fx. It is 6.2 km from the Parks Airport to Maccas by foot. While the Narromine Golf restaurant is a bit ordinary, it is only a short (1.6 Km) walk to the airport. The Narromine Caravan park, with cabins, is pretty good and next door to the airport. I've been into Parkes a couple of times and my attempts to visit HARS Parkes have been washouts. If nothing else Narromine lies almost on the midpoint of the track between Brisbane and Melbourne. And equidistant from Sydney or Canberra Wellington,almost, lies on the midpoint of the direct track between Brisbane and Melbourne

DHL hands over my parcels to AP for delivery to my PO box. There are others who handoff to AP. There are some jerks inside Telstra who will only send to the Telstra service address (jerks). It is not rocket science but some companies are either stupid or wilfully stupid. It doesn't take much to send to PO boxes (or put the delivery behind the 3rd potplant to the left in full view of the front door but not the street) Locally, we are getting a rash of Uber, Deliveroo, door dash etc food delivery people delivering to the TOTALLY wrong address taking a photo and forgetting where they left the stuff. The UK Passport office was smart enough to work out where the closest secure boxes were to us (in Oz) and then contacted us with instructions on how to get the passport from the locked box at 7/11.

Our postie is pretty good - not so Telstra, the companies that refuse to send to PO boxes and couriers who leave packages on the path in full view of the street.

So about 0.2db/ metre

At 126.7 what is the loss per metre of the best cable and the Chinese alternate

"from 2025"

It is close to the end of 2025 (happy Christmas and a good new year to you all) Are there any good rumours on Controlled Airspace Access (and Group G) Cheers🚲🍻

A John W. Howard cock up. Not even G. W. Bush was that stupid.

I'll bite. You're wrong!!

There were many good reason to move away from "RAA Inc" but the big furphy was that the Federal jurisdiction would look after the members. It should but won't. Little organisations like ours don't rate on the CVs of the regulators. State based regulators are even more useless.

It appears that RAAus has a dispersed workforce

But the next person through your guillotine might be a cop or some other innocent trying to help you out. I do, in fact, feel for your loss.

"Ridiculous"? If people took more care about their duty of care we would see much less blood over the floor. Industrial manslaughter laws have only emerged (much too late) because some people just don't give a sh*t about the consequences of their actions.

Try Australia Post. I have vague recollections that they have a US delivery option for on freighting to OZ (for a fee). OR US freight-forwarding services compared | CHOICE WWW.CHOICE.COM.AU How do US freight-forwarding service measure up: Shipito, MyUS, USA2Me and US to Oz?

Or you can dogleg Kalgoolie - Caiguna (244NM) Caiguna - Forrest (160 NM) ULP95 and 98 and Avgas at Caiguna.

I'm not sure what the issue is. Most modern routers use both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz as their WiFi frequencies. (6Ghz is a new frequency on WiFi 7 - a new standard) your older tablets and phone should be capable of talking WiFi 5 or 6 on 2.4Ghz. 2.4 is the "old" frequency but still in use by a wide variety of "legacy", oldish and new devices. If you are having problems connecting on 2.4Ghz it may be a problem with your router and it might need to be replaced. Take your tablets and phones down to the local mall that offers free WiFi, if they connect and talk you have a problem with your router. What is your router?

Not a junket these days with the possibility of a confrontation with US customs, immigration and xenophobia.

OZMRC Marracoonda?

Unless you are under an aircraft route an SE2 (or any ADSB IN devices) and on the ground it is unlikely that you will receive any ADSB signals. ADSB is line of sight and when on the ground you are in the weeds. ADSB aggregation apps like flight radar 24 have networks of receivers mounted well above ground level, my receiver is on a 3rd story pole under the Syd Northerly flight path and can pickup signals up to 10 km. The SE2 at ground level will only pick up planes overhead in a cone.

Which mobile service were you using. 4 Corners had a segment last week about the limitations of mobile phone coverage. There are black holes even in Sydney.

This suggests that you need to have a CASA license to get an ASIC. " Applying for your ASIC Paying for and Collecting your ASIC As a General Aviation pilot who is not paid in their role (i.e. a member of a general aviation flight club), you will not have an Employer who can sponsor your operational need. When applying in the Applicant Portal, you will be asked to enter an Employer Code. You will need to use an Employer Code provided by AusCheck specifically for General Aviation pilots. To obtain this code you should speak to your flight club or contact AusCheck. AusCheck will validate your pilot's licence with CASA prior to sending your application for background checking. Operational Need Template for General Aviation: "I am a recreational pilot and hold a current Flight Crew Licence ... (Licence Number) issued by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). I require an ASIC for unescorted access to ... (specify location or locations if AUS wide is required) to support this activity. You will be required to bring your flight crew licence to the identity verification appointment to be uploaded as evidence of operational need. There will be no other changes to the identity verification process. Canberra Region General Aviation pilots: You will need to ensure you select Department of Home Affairs - Canberra when choosing your Verifier. South Australian General Aviation pilots: You will need to ensure you select Department of Home Affairs - AusCheck - Adelaide Airport when choosing your Verifier." SUCH IS LIFE

Rather presumptuous - this isn't RAAs fault. It might be better to beat up on your local member of parliament - they enacted ASIC - they are the roadblock
