Thanks - much easier.

We don't actually know what ELAAA stands for nor who it represents. All may be revealed in the fullness of time, I guess.

ASIC Registration of this new organisation including directors, officers and financial accounts.

And, of course, with ASIC everything is secret unless you pay them money. With the proposed privatisation (moneterisation) of the ASIC Registry function you can be assured that it will get worse. This is tax, taxation, T.A.X. by any other name, so favoured by government on the right

The advantage of insurance is that in the event, unlikely or otherwise, that you cause a problem to someone else, despite the fact that you are bankrupt and have decamped to Brazil, the insurance company is still there and can pay out the poor bugger you messed with, intentionally or otherwise. Sometimes the innocent bystander, even exercising the greatest of caution, is the innocent victim of someone else's behaviour, or of someone else's dog

Not at all. Alongside the competitive model, monopolies and the public service are capable of delivering great results. If your mind goes back that far you might remember the shambles that the NSW power supply was in before the then NSW government gathered the disparate parts of the electricity industry together to forge the Electricity Commission to deliver reliable electricity across NSW.

Sorry maaate, Runciman wasn't the problem, he was a desperate attempt to be a solution. The wheels started falling off the plane when Eugene Reid was in the chair. If Reid had not been replaced by Runciman god knows where we would be except broke and out of business. How Reid got back on the board is beyond me. Democracy sucks (at times)!!!

Better informed doesn't mean capable of making a sensible decision. You have to trust yourself and vote for the ones who you trust most or against those you trust the least.

When Optus refuses, under the protection of ACCC, in your little corner of the world, and the monopoly provider is prevented from offering a service at a fair price what are you going to do? pat yourself on the back and say "fantastic - competition had delivered me bugger all" Competition is not the universal panacea, markets are not perfect and occasional, where orderly markets are thin and the players are disproportionate then a managed monopoly may be the only solution. We live in a society, markets should aid society not destroy it.

You can also fly Foxbat at The Oaks to earn an RAA Pilot Certificate. Training in RAA can be counted towards an RPL/PPL subject to a flight review. Sydney Recreation Flying Club at the Oaks can be contacted on 0425 251 939. The fly on weekends and most Thursdays. They have 2 Foxbat. If your medical is going to be drawn out the RAA route might be better. I am not sure of the relative costs but you might find it cheaper to do your RAA cert pax and country and then have these converted to RPL + Navs. I'm not sure how you do 2hrs Instruments in a Foxbat unless they have an AI and a DI. Best of luck with your medical.

He/she probably got hauled over the coals for wasting the salt and their time. Didn't he/she understand that it wasn't their job and besides you turned 18 five minutes ago so you are sacked!! No penalty rates, no overtime, no casual rates, erratic and short shifts and on the scrapheap at 18,

Compensation does not bring back a life. Governments are pushing compensation to be terminal and constrained. If you don't discover your condition before date X you will lose all claims, or an insurance company will try to shoehorn you into a (any) job that they deem you can do - (almost) end of story. It is far better all round if the danger never existed or if it needed to exist then it was mitigated to the fullest extent possible and that the person creating the danger bears primary responsibility.

Comparison of OzRunways vs. AvPlan EFB on iPad
coljones replied to dsam's topic in Instruments, Radios and Electronics
Try JoikuSpot WiFi - right down the bottom Symbian OS - Nokia N70 - Best of luck -
Neat. I can open it on my android and pan and zoom. I can only pan it on my laptop. What other goodies do you have hidden on your website?

The Jab is innocent!! It was merely keeping up with the pilot.

I just do a TIF. Twice in Scotland and once in Denmark and NZ. You end up with a passenger who can provide a sightseeing comentary.

You don't need the stamp of ASIC to operate. You only need to have it to be protected under the Corporations law. Until then you are in some other jurisdiction operation in a process approved by the members. When you start up a completely new company you can do whatever you like but you can't pretend things like limited liability til you are given that status by the government. The election process was a directive to RAA by its members and was carried through into the registration process of RAA LTD. I'm not sure that ASIC actually gives a damn. In most, except the most political and egregious, cases it is up to those aggrieved to fund their own actions against corporations (who, if they can, will continue bad behaviours right up to the high Court). In Australia we tend to have Courts of the deepest pockets.

Passed the RAAus to RPL conversion today
coljones replied to rdarby's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Could you understand a Scotsman (who in all probability speaks perfect English). The problem is not always with the speaker but in a lot of cases with the listener who might not understand Aviation speak or just be a grumpy person not prepared to listen. -
you should have attributed it to One Nation. Again a case of knowing the answers but being totally clueless about the real questions.

Radio too quiet - headset amp needed?
coljones replied to Soleair's topic in Instruments, Radios and Electronics
You could try a different headset to test out both the Jabiru and the Icom. If the headsets works OK in the Jabiru but not in the Icom then my first suspect would be the Icom, all the way from the volume control to the sockets. The Bose is nice. -
We should be gratified that all have offered their time, energy and skills to do the job. Being high end individuals, I am sure that they know how to meter their time and capabilities to their various jobs. That is generally why they achieve high end jobs. I think we should choose high end people for the board rather than duds with time on their hands.

Sorry but "Engineers make it happen". Are you suggesting that only the unemployable should be elected (not that I see any of those among the candidates).
-
Nothing quite like a lazy election method, which can result in the election of the least preferred rather than the least hated. So sad!!!

The bowerbird fund got depleted due to board and CEO stupidity. The legals would have been forseen and provided for, the action by CASA and the grounding of planes and the ramshackle nature of the records SHOULD have been forseen, but were and ignored or weren't. Being vigilant is commendable, being a bowerbird isn't.
