    I don't think that temperature is related to Density Altitude for this limitation.

    I doubt the Jabiru would've crashed because it was 38C but the engine temps might've been high.

    My aircraft POH Maximum Ambient Operating Temperature 38°C (100°F) Jabiru.

    Instead of a mirror I bring an old CD and you can see through the centre to aim.

    I thought it would be good anyway for fires on the ground, either taxying or startup. In flight shit hits the fan.

    My radar apps don't work anymore on the phone and TV.

    I've always had issues in Winter but I've worked out a way. Got rid of the Oddesy battery and put in a MOTO battery, cheaper as well. Hold the choke and the throttle so they don't slip in and it starts every time now.

    I think you mean the opposite. A lot of CTA is not over tiger country and we are forced to go around through tiger country like Newcastle, Coffs Harbour, various parts of Gold Coast. Blue Mountains we can’t fly high closer to Sydney and can get caught it turbulence so I guess that is tiger country. Going South of Sydney and if Nowra is active we have to go around the long way.

    We do have something like that, Victor 1 but I always get nervous for incoming jets since I fly under them with about 500ft seperation. Sometimes I orbit sometimes I assume the wake turbulence hasn't arrived depending where the plane is.

    I want the Dingo now. Very tempted but not this week.

    Also if it's not certified doesn't mean you can't fly over built up areas?

    It's going to be interesting what recommendations ATSB comes up with. I used to have one radio and I could only listen to 1 frequency. Used to be difficult choosing which freq I should listen to inbound to Wedderburn from the west, I would stay on the step and listen to area since they tend to give traffic alerts but not always. Now I changed to the trig and can monitor another frequency. Still a difficult area to transit with inbound aircraft, gliders and local traffic.

    I was with 3 other aircraft from Wedderburn coming from the Kiama to Mittagong then we were going to go to The Oaks and back to Wedderburn but I got the guys to go direct to Wedderburn, too rough for having fun. We landed at 12 so felt sort of lucky since we would have arrived about that time with 4 aircraft. We would have been minimum 3000 possible 4500.

    Because unless it's a nice High Pressure system, they do break it up but that gets fun since you have to find the places they are talking about for the boundries and times for the different QNH.

    I like my Dynon as well. I'm very sure there is a yaw dampner there but for me, don't need the extra weight for the minimal use.

    In the Sydney region we are going to loose a lot of airspace due to the new Western Sydney Airport and also loosing Ballina. There may be a proposal for different airspace for Shellharbour as well. It's getting difficult and dangerous for the diversions we have to do to avoid the airspace.

    That is so much fun, I've done it a few times, must be plenty of people practicing landings and go arounds. Haven't seen the tower yet. Wonder if the workers get sick of us.

    Lots of traffic. Only photo are 5 parked planes and a lovely breakfast.

    A group of us went to Cessnock yesterday and it was magic. I thought the August westerlies had come early but a reprieve for this week.

    Thanks for the info. Since I have a Dynon Skyview and already have a Microair transponder, I was tempted by the upgrade. After much thought I decided to stick with Dynon, after your post I feel better about my decision. I now have a spare transponder I'll sell if I can.

    A controller gave a talk at our airfield and had a handout. I looked for it but it could be at the airfield. I'll look this weekend.
  24. mkennard
    You doing it on a weekend? Tower is usually closed
