    Hopefully the CTA transit approval be happen at some stage, speaking as an airline pilot it's no big deal flying in controlled airspace once you've recieved the appropriate training, I think the GA training schools pushing to prevent this from going through as it would be another nail in their coffin, as I have said before who what's to fly a 30 year old dinosaur when you can fly a wide variety of modern RAA a/c at an affordable price.

    As mentioned by Kaz, the drivers licence photo id smart card for ALL pilots (RAA, GA & commercial would be a great idea).

    Was amazed when I downloaded the ASIC forms from the CASA web site, decided to use the KISS principal & used an oniline outfit Security ID, from the initial online application to receiving the ASIC card was 8 days, they do all the Aus checks etc for you, definitely worth the extra $40.

    Looks like a great spot, going straight to google earth for a closer look.

    That's got to hurt the hip pocket nerve, ouch.......

    How many more public servants would CASA need to administer another 10,000+ RAA pilots being places on thier books, not to mention a budget increase of course.

    Pilots are members of the RAA for a reason, they want the freedom to fly OCTA in modern high tech & reasonably priced a/c, for that reason I see no advantage to getting a RPL. As for GA who wants to hire a 30 year old bug smasher for $250-300/hr.

    Don't like the look of that big metal mast at the pointy end of the ship.

    Did the same trip a few weeks ago in the Foxbat, it's one beautiful trip, even spotted about 10 whales off Sth Straddy, BTW love the soundtrack to this video.

    The RAAF has a bombing range at Salt Ash near RAAF Base Williamtown, the low level pop bomb pattern used to put us over a house in the middle of the bush at 250ft & 540kts, can only imagine how noisy that was........the sound of freedom.

    Thanks for that GregF, certainly makes complete ground & flight insurance well worth the investment, Cheers, Bennyboy320

    Very nice.

    A question for GregF, could you please tell me what is covered with flight insurance, e.g. Worst case scenario you suffer an engine failure & land in a paddock & damage the a/c beyond repair, what will they pay you, let's say you insure the hull for $60,000. Thanks,

    Hi everyone, Just came across this web site & loved it, a great change from the negativity of pprune, currently working as an airline pilot in HKG but dreaming of getting my own Jabiru J160 once the Aussie $ gets to a reasonable & realistic level. Great to read the comments & am amazed at he level of knowledge out there. Safe flying, Bennyboy320.
