CAAP92-1 says it all, basically you can land anywhere you think it’s safe. On a side note I follow Trent Palmer on YouTube, he’s into bush flying & a memeber of the flying cowboys, I think in this nanny state we live in if you tried half of what he does the FUN POLICE have a fit, especially if any of you guys with tail wheels water ski on any of our water ways. Fly safe & keep the shinny side up.

Hence the advantage of only flying RAAus max 600kg, once you reach 75 you have to see the doctor to maintain your drivers license, and for goodness sake don’t open up a can of worms & mention anything about flying, it’s beyond their pay grade & they don’t have a need to know, keep it simple, anyway that’s my plan.

I recently ordered & received the “Big Srew tie down” the 18 inch screws & tie down straps & attachments look strong enough to use on a Dash 8, haven’t used it yet, will post update when back in Bne.
-
Sign into RAAus web site, select documents & forms tab, then sport Pilot & download pdf.
-
All things come to those who wait, just checked RAAus web site & finally the July edition available for download.
-
Ok so obviously I’ve missed something, is the digital version dead?
-
So it’s the 28JUL18, any updates of when or were it’s available.

Recreational flying in Brisbane area
Bennyboy320 replied to flyingfooty28's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Give Bill & Heather a call at Caboolture Recreational Aviation, an excellent school with a good variety of LSA available for training/hire. -
Mmmmm, think I’ll treat Warwick as a high threat no go Airport.

[ATTACH]36713[/ATTACH] These days with ground radar it’s a bit easier compared to the 1960’s. We only use CAT 3B, with CAT 3C it’s basically 0/0.
-
The landing & rollout no dramas, it’s getting off the r/w & taxiing that’s more challenging & gets the heart beat racing.
-
Thanks, I will only be planning tech stops airfields with self service avgas, keep it simple.
-
The reason I asked was I have a lack of faith in someone that charges $20 callout fee for doing their job during business hours.
-
Thanks, I know what the ERS says, never been the most up to date document around, it’s just that someone mentioned on Ozrunways a self serve bowser with CC option, as I was planning to be there on a weekend I’d like another definite yes before I decide wether not not to bypass YGDI, not keen on forking out $100 for a callout fee.
-
Just in the planning stage for a flying trip in September, lots of conflicting information about the availablity of avgas at Goondiwindi, can anyone confirm if the bowser accepts credit card, thanks.

Always thought it’s a very sexy aircraft, enjoying watching the build progress.

I think his career & credibility are in tact, it’s called flexibility, I’m sure there’s no QRH procedure that deals with a fire plus crew member seat u/s.

This defines what a tight knit military crew is like, RESPECT
-
Just had a look at the RAAus web site, at present there are 3,344 a/c on the register, a few more old C150’s maintained by LAME’s will not affect the vast majority of our day to day operation.
-
Personally if RAAus could get a VFR lane on the outer edge of the airspace at Gold Coast & Coffs to avoid tiger country I’d be a happy camper, this would negate any interest for me to gain a CTA rating & class 2 medical, thus avoiding any contact with CASA.
-
The definition is equipped to land on water, so floats fitted, not an expert on floats but most appear to have wheels fitted for land ops, so in that case you’d be able to operate at 650 kg,
-
CAO 95.55 states that light sport mtow is 600 kg for a land based a/c & with floats 650 kg. No extra allowance for a BRS.
-
Because if you don’t use the a/c on a regular basis your battery will slowly loose its charge, hence my example, only using the a/c a few times a year the trickle charger means I won’t be faced with a flat battery when I want to go flying.
-
Been using the oz charge kit for about 18 months now, very happy with the device, it’s sometimes 4 or 5 months between flights for me, no battery problems so far, touch wood.

BASIC CLASS 2 - PRIVATE PILOT MEDICAL ANNOUNCED!
Bennyboy320 replied to coljones's topic in Governing Bodies
My fear is that CASA can see 300+ a/c & 10,000 Pilots on the horizon just waiting to get theirs hands on us for our own safety & become our administrator, the “Yes Minister” blunts (term of endearment used in the RAAF to describe anyone that’s not a pilot) must see us as a cash cow for more government funding, I hope I’m wrong.
