RAA walked away from that cover, and the ability to call meetings which these days could be zoom meetings, survey the members on something which was an issue etc. The position switched to hoping the company was keeping up.

Well I can remember being crapped on with statements like "No point in having a dog and barking yourself" and "We've outgrown the Cricket Club Incorporation and should be treating RA as a business" They worked on the lazies and here we are.

"......... what about if we take this chain of that hook. There was a "Clunk" and the chain slid out of the C130 taking one of the little scrubbers, but hey, you win some, you lose some. The C130 settled again on a course for .................. Loxie may not read the NES. Since becoming a Captain, he's now throwing orders every day anmmd polishing his tankers. It takes a long time to polish a tanker, or it did the last time Turbo visited and tipped a can of coffee into the polish.

I was hunting through files looking for something and noticed this. It seems there is a vacuum about this these days. WX00147.pdf

Well you wouldn't go round every bend with the road or you'd be travelling twice the flying distance and if you followed inland rivers, you'd be travelling three times the distance of your flight. And with both rivers and roads you know there's cross highway a couple of hundred Nm north with your town on it, Navigation teaches you the tricks of how not to turn the wrong way, because after a couple of hundred nm with winds you're moving one way or the other away from your town. Also, I notice quite often with RA events several 60 kt aircraft turn back because they run low on fuel. You can use the Nav Computer for other options to lower fuel consumption per Nm. Once again I notice no RA Instructors offering to help. If you can't find one it's worth doing the PPL module with a group of GA people.

....was heard. The crew realised they hadn't unshackled the tie down chain from the C130! The Radio operator said "play me another" to the Hawaiian Controller who immediately broke into ............ How do you know she's not a man? Her name's Stevie. Always remember Loxie got into awful trouble even though his name was Stevie (wasn't it?)

There are parts of Australia where, no matter where you want to fly within an hour or so, you can't get lost. Most of Gippsland is one - you have the great diving range at the top and Bass Strait at the bottom. People who fly there don't even need maps..................but one of our members got lost. You'd think crossing the Nullarbor to western Australia would be another..........but one person got lost and didn't survive. I NSW and some other places the E-W boundaries of paddocks run North-South, and flying from Victoria to Queensland the grain towers are an obvious land mark. However, much of the developed area of Australia requires full nav. equipment and even then there are potholes. On one of my later Navexes with an Instructor testing me, I'd flight planned a turn south of Bendigo, so hardly outback. It was going to be easy the turn was at a Road+Rail Line+Lake on the right. On all previous Navexes I could see the turn points 2 minutes out. This time the turn point wasn't there but looking out to the right I saw the rail line crossing the road and there out to the right was the lake. I made the turn, marked the map, but after about ten minutes my next landmark wasn't there. I could see a rail line and station so I turned off track again and dipped down to read the sign, and was able to get back on my track and home.

D314 and D315 (Danger Area) - right in the Carrum entry area for Moorabbin. You can be going out to the Training Area or coming in from the country and RC UAV (Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle) can be flying around at 1500 feet. The biggest one in the world is a 32 foot Concorde. The aerobatic ones have a fuselage nearly big enough to lie in and weigh enough to do damage to a full size aircraft. They are the biggest threat because they are likely to be spearing up for the sky and the 1500 ft for them is eyeball; they don't have altimeters. The RC field is about in the middle of the D314/D315 area. CASA wouldn't get into the Planning process deflected it to MAAA (Model Aircraft Association of Australia.) I went to a drag racing Meeting at Palmyra one weekend and there was a Savannah cruising backwards and forwards below the houses opn the hill, so I'd think there will be an issue there. (Remember, the airfield will have Existing Use rights (don't surrender them), and a proposed UAV/RC field won't in the Council Planning phase. WH00863.pdf WH00864.pdf

Yet, you do the same to your passengers with the plaque on the dashboard. Not all that hard.

They're not talking about the strict liability that applies to CASA's regulations.

........try to roll it upside down. "Why not?" asked Chairman XI inscrutibly. The check captain, Biggles, who is often seen out in the Wreck Flyon arena about two days behind the action, truthfully said "Because the hydraulic legs are made in China" It was true; many graduates from this sim could have flown an A380 into Heathrow lying on their side, because that's where they spent most of their training.

The magenta line is fine, but you're not navigating. People have covered what to do if yje gps stops; the record so far that I've read is five electronic items fail on the flight. Then you are back to navigating, but you've never learnt reverse navigation. People do run out of fuel and get killed in the forced landing, but the statistics are low. The irony is that Navigation can be taught in a very short time, so why is this thread going? It's been a long time since I've seen a Recreational Aviation Instructor post anything let alone some training on Nav. What's going on with them? Are they just turning you loose without Nav?

.......extend his arms and grab both the baddies by the goolies, and then do a back somersault which had the baddies screaming in tears. As Cappy patted himself down and waited for cameras that weren't coming, Turbo looked across at the Challenger and invited Cappy back to the land of the $15 billion dollar woman, Victoria itself. "Only if I can bring Abecar" Turbo looked at his white doeskin seats, but Abecar had started to smile , red dirt and all. Little did they know ........

Depends on what you're doing when you sink the ploughs, harrows, cultivator in, its maximum torque demand all day. seeding its light governor all day, headers its primarily driving all the components.

The most efficient today are electric pantograph powered by diesel generators at home base or maintenance base. They can run at maximum torque 24/7. Record is 7 km of ore Newman - Port Hedland. I was designing Hyrail truck coonversions. Land Cruiser with 6 on board scouted ahead, used to use cruise control then sit back and play cards. One day there was something on the track, killed the lot.

said Bull and ducked because the nickname Cappy hated the most was old Ratty. Even now he was seething at the inference that he was old and had straggly hair. He prided himself with having Abraham Lincoln-like flowing blackl hair, and an elegant stance, and Turbo testify that he usually turns all heads in a room of senior executives and their wives at black tie functions. (usually accompanied by whispers of "whats that smell". It was on one of these nights that..............

Why is he desperate?

Just be careful of people repeating claims. Linehaul Transport requires 103 km/hr cruise with full loads and that's where the highest battery power consumption and shortest range is, the achilles heel of EV. On top of that, linehual trucks need to be available to take a load from Melbourne to Brisbane, Brisbane to Darwin, Darwin to Adelaide and Adelaide to Melbourne. Without long recharges. If you want to see the Janus status, kook for a Janus battery exchange in your town.
