    From what I understand, they had to be freed from the aircraft. Hate those canopies that can trap you if your plane flips.

    I have not read the many responses to this post but do need to say this. Nobody wants to dogfight anymore. They all want to fire off their missiles and get the hell out of danger. Be it ASRAAM, AMRAAM or AIM9 - launch it and bugger off.

    Landing in Canola is like landing in wire netting. I'll take the wheat anytime....

    When I suggest Oz-Runways could have a warning about busting last light I am NOT suggesting flight planning etc. should be ignored. I'm old school. I use maps and a compass, steam gauges, ground-speed-distance calculations with a whizz-wheel when I do a nav. I bet half the pilots flying RAAus wouldn't be doing so. Can I ask this; Do you who use Oz-Runways have a track on a map in case your iPad dies?

    If you catch the thief, give him a kick in the face for me...

    A lot of pilots use Oz-Runways with their iPads. Maybe a big red warning should flash up if it detects that a pilot is going to bust last light.

    The Glassair will kill you quicker too if you're not real careful.

    So, does this write all its data to a file? That would be VERY useful in a post crash investigation.

    That sounds like you're blaming the system. If a fool flies at night without a rating and/or in a unrated aircraft, then that's their stupidity.

    If they departed William Creek at 4pm for Leigh Creek, 150nm away, I would imagine it getting dark by the time they arrived.

    I believe Parafield training operators were looking at using Leigh Creek some time ago.

    So, I guess "Ten Four Good Buddy" is ruled out?

    Hi Bruce. I own my house, lock, stock and two smoking barrels but I cannot do any electrical work on it. The rules are there to protect others rather than the owners. It would scare the cr*p out of me if pilot/owners could do all the work they wanted because there are so many who 'think' they know what they are doing. One only has to read some of the posts on this forum to see what I mean. I dislike 'nanny' state situations but we see all the time that a few stupid people ruin things for the majority. Try working where I work, 1 day course to use the pencil sharpener and another to use the 'sharp' pencil...

    Yes. In fact I had two friends who were confined to wheelchairs. Doesn't change my views on a crap insurance system.
  20. Jabiru7252
    Many years ago I knew a lazy slob that got paid out big time after an accident. The payout was for future medical expenses for the injuries, pain and suffering, lost wages bla bla bla. This loser blew the money on booze and drugs and other rubbish. Now has nothing and blames everybody but himself. Huge insurance payouts are BS in my opinion and the system needs to change.

    Reporting news has become so pathetic these days. A few weeks ago, channel 9 reported how a bunch of baseball players wouldn't allow a 'tornado' to interrupt their game. A TORNADO!!!! It was a bloody dust devil, and a average one at that. I could scream when I see this kind of ignorance being exhibited on television.

    Ham radio has been dumbed down so much, anybody can get a ticket.

    I think some folks interpret the technical manual different from others. Section 11.1-3 is relevant to me. I do what I'm confident in and get help with anything else. So, oil, oil filter, spark plugs, brakes and stuff I do but if a head has to come off or the ASI drops dead, it's off to see the wizard. But, I'm always learning, and with a head like a sift, I learn over and over again!!

    From RAAus Technical Team.... "It is not mandatory to complete the L1 practical training component as long as you have completed the online L1 component." Having said that, I would still like to do the practical.

    My card is a 'debit card'. In the technical manual, section 11.1 paragraph 3.2.1 does that refer to the online training I did a few years ago or what? I have been doing oil, oil filter, plugs, etc. for the last ten years on my plane. Now somebody says I need to do the practical training to be able to touch my plane. I'm too old and grumpy to have people confusing me.
