He did say it was a very rough flight. Under those circumstalces the magnetic compass would be bouncing all over the place so impossible to get a magnetic reading. He was on Navex 5 which means he was training for his Nav endorsement. In theory under those circumstances you could wing it with an estimate change on the DG............if you'd been noting the average adjustment, but realistically I would have done the same.

I don't want to get into the process yet again because I've explained it over and over, and nothing has changed to the legal policies that I've seen, and it would be all over the newspapers if it had. I wouldn't agree with the absolving of all responsibility, because everyone has a duty of care. However if you have acknowledged that you have been made aware of the risks then the party who had the duty of care can at claim that you were aware of x.

Meanwhile the Incorporated Associations have gone from strength to strength.

you'd be partly responsible for paying penalty fees for allowing your taxes to be used for $15 billion to pay the CFMRU to grease the wheels of the BIG SPEND$ which also generously paid the full cost of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games as well as the P!ssUP after the G's won the head butting c.ompetition. It was almost .............

I don't believe it is; you'll notice the other Self Administrative bodies have already taken similar actions.

Yes, why the question? Why don't you follow up on the problem?

RAA (Inc) signed an annual update which incorporated changes; we used to get one of these books, each year, that was the 2010 edition. I would assume that RAA Ltd gets these books and signs each year, and if so would be working to the 2025 or 2026 Edition which would incorporate andy changes like you mentioned. One of the sure signs of Self Administration is reference to Australian Standards, in this case AS3806. - 2006, and International Standards - ISO 23100 (International Standard 23100 covering Risk Management, and the Organisation's SMS (Safety Management Standard). These were never mandatory and we never took much notice of them, but they are industry benchnarks and compliance with an industry benchmark is good to have in a case where someone is making a claim against you, so Australian Standards have become elevated in daily use. Same with ISO. We put them in our Operating Manuals. Where they become vital is for RA operations, specifically "Ultralight Exceptions" to the CASA Regulations.

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?
