    440032 what you say is true however while as nev puts it apathy gets us where we are and the leadership think everything is good because that's what the votes say eg landing fees ra say we think its good that user pays, lve not heard at our airfield from visitors that its good however as most stay quite its hard to dispute and the further down the rabbit hole we go.[ just an example]

    Considering the fact that less than 10 percent of the membership bother to vote on the subjects that raaus put up then unfortunately you get what you get

    First up having the pleasure knowing F10 l will say he is well qualified to discuss these matters and l support his position of why are fees being applied to the marap when the operator is responsible and its in his best interest to maintain properly. If it was simpler then maybe more owners would take the same path and real data not speculation be able to support or dispel that these engines are very reliable or not .

    Probably better off wondering what plastics doing to you and the environment than fretting about nuclear.

    eyirekraftpylut if your trig is adsb able you can add the tn72 gps source$750.00 plus the ta50 antenna 125.00 and a ping for adsb in 225.00. $1100.00 all up and no need for extra devices this system works for me.

    Don't know if this is related to your fuel pump problem but l have just been flying and noticed my fuel pressure was barely keeping above the min pressure and had to keep the electric pump on to maintain pressure. On landing pump was removed and dismantled ( not expecting warranty pump 3yr old) by the resident L2 and he found the the discharge side the valve loose in its seat the 3rd of which he has seen in recent times. l too see the fluctuation in the pressure going from electric to mechanical but deemed it one of those things, to prove the pump was right or wrong was proven by refitting the old pump that was changed out on the 5yr rule and everything returned to normal and with less fluctuation than the new pump in regards to switching from electric to mechanical.Will be speaking to Floods about this.

    We are having the same conversations re landing fees at yyrm in Gippsland, My take on this is most Ra aircraft use fuel from the servo and to my knowledge we are still paying a levy for roads and excise tax so wether l drive on the road or land on a sealed strip whats the difference ? The amount of money wasted on substandard road repair what difference does it make to the big picture to do maintenance on a runway? Double dipping is what landing fees are.!

    Did you get anyone looking at the aircraft at Leongatha? If not l should be able to arrange with a couple of pilots l know down there but dont know how to person to person to speak with you,

    if we are to believe in the warming climate then whatever it costs to mitigate ie renewable energy, then to save the earth it is what it is, for my money hydrogen is the most obvious choice and no longer to fill that petrol all that starts the change is a stroke of the pen

    Without knowing what all the non voters think and with such a poor number voting l would call it an invalid election! But l have no answer to a solution other than saying your membership should tie in with compulsory voting ??

    Great summary thruster 88

    I don't believe the landing fees are the issue the issue is who are RA representing ? their members or the aerodromes and avdata? Ive asked that question of the CEO and have no reply.
  19. BRL
    problem is we pay to be represented and l don't believe that its our organisation role to report our details to other parties who dont or are they?
  20. BRL
    Everyone needs to email the CEO and let him know what they think, united we stand divided we fall
  21. BRL
    l have no issue paying landing fees the issue l have is that our organisation is releasing our details to the likes of Avdata which says to me that our organisation feels it needs to be the moral lighthouse for us all. Question who are they representing us or Avdata ? as l have said in a email to mr Linke l am well capable of doing that myself and l don't want my details disclosed to profiteers.
  22. BRL
    It would pay for everyone to take a look at the charter review ( in the latest from the CEO newsletter) and see how you think that lines up with the releasing private details. lve just sent my thoughts to them about this stupid decision.

    Perhaps a call to Mike Smith re whats good to fly over water and take a look at his around the world flight video powered by Rotax.

    Had the same problem and worried like mad about it being the the Bose A20 headset but they worked perfectly in other aircraft, so first step check them on other aircraft. The radio was changed and the problem went away
