  1. .....aquadrilateral, two pairs of adjacent sides, one axis of symmetry can be connected to expressions in linear equations which can be projected via calculus using known examples divide by unknown expressions and divided by the sum of lines less duplications and multiplied by the sum of the vertical plane minus the sum of the horizontal plane divided by the constant 3454697467869 to get a square, and........
  2. "I'm required to advise you................" but Cappy who became skilled at dealing with the Indians of Bombay who were pushy little pricks, cut him off with a "Gotta Go, due to CASA Rule 738 Clause 67, Para 242" All the Walloper could do was nod - he tried to remember that ref, but without his book he was lost. The experienced Cappy had known that without their books they were toothless. Have the old kite [Biggles ref] WOT and ........ Cappy's reference to the coffee shop dog is interesting. Normally he doesn't release his family history. Cappy in his Kapoo (as it was then) Primary School days once used the excuse "My dog ate my homework." and the saying went round the world.
  3. .........went into a dive [avref] and landed [avref] on the lawn of the St. Kilda Boulevard. A Police Officer [CASA avref] approached him and asked.................
  4. However the question was about a specific Airservices category Designated Remote Areas. Anyone from GA operating Cross CountryTouring can pull the details from NAIPS.
  5. We usually talk about recreational flying, building your own aircraft and flying it local, the top end flying further and higher. I don't subject has come up in about 16 years. Six place aircraft are up towards the top of GA in the Touring/Cross Country Category. A typical Melbourne flight would be Moorabbin, Port Augusta, Woomera, Coober Pedy, Uluru, Alice Springs, Katherine, Darwin, Karumbah, Whitsundays, Moorabbin.
  6. You don't understand what I'm saying do you. It comes with the aircraft hire. If you have six people on board sharing costs the cost per Nm is less than the hire cost of a Cessna 172 and you can carry out the formal communications required with the Airservices process.
  7. There's always one. One of our members built his own aircraft, bought a three dollar compass and flew from the east coast, up over one of the highest sections of the Great Dividing Range. No problems at all. Some time later he replaced oil hoses with parts from Supercheap. On a routine local flight a hose blew, the engine stopped the ground ripped the aircraft apart and as far as I know that was the last of his flying.
  8. As a personal rule, I would not fly an RA standard aircraft near or through a Designated Remote Area, because the engine failures are much more common, but the landings routine if you don't fly over the RA "Tiger Country". I would not hire a basic GA aircraft such as a 172 or Cherokee 140 or Warrior through a DRA because, in the more unlikely event of an engine out, the radio equipment would usually not be good enough to get help. A woman who lived on a Station near Cameron's corner decided one hot day that she would take the children in to the store at Moomba Gas field for an ice cream one day. The trip was only 20 to 30 minutes so she didn't bother to take any water. On the way in the Land Rover broke down/got bogged on a sand hill. The husband found the bodies later that day. I didn't check but I don't think that's a DRA. It just shows how little time things go bad in the outback if you're not covering the bases. I would hire an aircraft with the additional $10,000 or so worth of aviation standard HF radio. Which is probably why this has been the first DRA discussion I can ever remember. DRAs are not just in the outback, but can be in our Alpine areas. You won't necessarily identify one just by looking at a normal terrain map.
  9. Be very careful about some of the rubbish you pick up on posts and the public domain. Designated Remote Areas have very specific requirements for Airmen - they are not just tiger country/desert terrain. You need to check through NAIPS for updates, and also the specific requirements to transit them. These are Airservices requirements. Airservices is a different body to CASA and RAA

  11. ......the Playful Pussy in Toorak. This was Turbo's first investment at the age of 14. We thank Cappy for providing a copy of the Grand Opening. Cappy of course didn't make it, being in the grips of Devil Gin at that time. He got on the tram Ok, but wasn't seen to get off in Toorak. They found him in Swanston St curled up on the roof of the tram, fast asleep and it took........
  12. .........not quite as good as it used to be. It had a vaguely familiar taint to it. Bull swilled it around in his mouth, in the effeminate way of the wine industry where they would cover up cat's..................and suddenly he knew what the odour was. He'd been walking around the original Turbine Rood's Bay cat farm and nearly coked on the stench of cat ..........
  13. Fuel dump housing. Bull was a lonely man, he had a conscience. He knew he had to dump fuel along the east coast and all over the Great Barrier Reef [Make the Barrier Reef Great Again (MAGBRGA ref], but that was his job. He told himself he kept the Wolfe Blass for his sanity, but ........................
