Was he given a cross country endorsement? or any of the other scenario. The point was he was using the wrong forecast for a very specific, very aviation-safety based issue by getting his information from the wrong source. In this case the exact same thing has been happening.

Getting Landing Fees published in ERSA which are not safety related relies on putting your case to the person who makes those decisions. If you don't want to take advice you'll get the same reaction you always got.

This thread started in March 28, 2025 with Skippy being charged for a low pass over a runway. It concerns me that Instructors never seem to jump in, identify themselves an offer help in these cases. We pay them considerable sums to teach and most industries do this to promote future business. It's also a concern that so many people who post on crosscountry flight (as in not in the circuit or training area) don't appear to have been trained for cross country flying. That's probably because of the drift in aircraft sold, from genuine Recreational Aircraft into Aircraft which have the capacity for crosscountry flight. It doesn't help that during that transition, GPS and electronic panels started appearing in flying schools. The NAVEX training modules seem to have got lost. Part of that is that Recreational Aircraft were the step up from the AUF days where flying was made available to the masses with no licence required for flight under 300 feet in paddocks. Perhaps the training crossover from 300 feet max to crosscountry flight with cheap instruments led to the present system. So I'll start at the ground level of crosscountry flight: Airservices Australia: https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/ Airservices Australia is a different body to CASA. Recreational Pilots train to Recreational Aviation Australia Limited in Recreational Aircraft, using exemptions currently granted by CASA. However, they fly in airspace controlled by OTHER Bodies all of which have rules/conventions. NAIPS (National Aeronautical Information Processing System) https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/naips/ “For help with inflight planning issues please call the Airport briefing office (24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1800 805 150.” There’s a “documents and downloads field”. It says “Used by pilots and Air Traffic Controllers for flight planning, weather briefings and SAFETY NOTICES. CORE FUNCTIONS · Flight Notifications (SARTIME) · Weather briefings · NOTAMS (Notices to Air Missions which alert pilots to hazards, closed runways or airspace restrictions. · Access Before conducting a flight outside your airfield, this is your personal contact point with NAIPS; initially you have to set up a unique ID, but then current information is available to a Pilot In Command. https://www.airservicesaustralia.com/naips/Account/LogOn You will have read over again on this site “We don’t have to submit Flight Plans any more” that’s true, we don’t have to send a Flight Plan to Airservices any more. However, where there is a reasonably foreseeable risk, we have a duty of care to prevent it. As an example: A Recreational Aircraft took off one day when on the NAIPS weather report, (which is designed for airmen), severe thunderstorms were predicted over nearby hills. The standard weather report was more general. Fifteen minutes after take-off the pilot was dead; his aircraft had broken up. So Skippy, you've been talking to the wrong organisation. CASA aren't going to fuss over one person from RAA asking what you're asking because they have enough problems with the pilots they train, but a petition would almost certainly lead to a crackdown on all RAA Pilots like the 2012 Audit where this one-page-per RA Aircraft knocked out most of the pilots for good. I've posted the links to Airservices and NAIPS, and would recommend you study these first to ensure the infformation you want isn't in there somewhere.

.....ways. (in Turbo's case accidentlly letting the Maccas Hot Cake cardboard get soft aand spread that insipid Riverina Syrup, all over the floor where the little kids played "sticky feet" all over the room vs.Cappy's 62 A4 pages....... Turbo was talking about the Southern Ghurkas, not the mountain Gurkhas who'd cut your head off with a Kukri if you gave them any cheek.

......and then he woke up. Drifters are that smooth. Turbo reassured him that Luigi was fine, and had taken Turbo duck shooting on the Rice. As for the sword, a miss is as good as a mile, but Turbo was confused about which position he had taken up other than Pilot with Cappy as the Navigator. Navigator........he looked around but nothing was familiar. He had assumed that Cappy was saying nothing because Turbo had the track right on the nose. Where are we? he asked Cappy. Cappy spluttered.......not a good sign remembered Turbo. Cappy had marched a Company of Ghurkas down out of the Khyber Pass by mistake once leaving Turbo to fight off all the Khyers. He'd asked them all to come and sit down, while he tolde them a Jesus story, then blew them up with a bomb made from 1500 303 loads, so it was OK in the finish, but now they haad no idea where they were......................

clap. The room was horrified; Nobu read the room and quickly said "Clapture; Clapture!!!! Sheesh!" Turbo had been looking at the Drifter and could see what the problem was with Cappy's, he grabbed the false leg and tried to pull it off but it had been sewed on and wouldn't budge. He grabbed Nob's Samurai and with one SWISHHH! the leg was gone. Half the room fainted. Cappy jumped in, Turbo behind him and the old Bluehead quickly got them out of what could have been.....................

.....decoy to lead the cattle in for "marking" as it was called in parts of the Territory, but then the older ones who knew what marking was from the pain of last year tried to double back. Somehow Cappy, who wasn't cattle-experienced, thought he had to lead them that way. The experienced cattle with Cappy in hot pursuit boxed up with this year's victims who had already heard cattle-rumours, and Cappy was running for his life, his big shoes going WOP, WOP, WOP. He raced for a Drifter parked under the shade, but his feet didn't fit in. Flinging a shoe at a ..........

Turbo congratulated Cappy on his historic win, and he regrets having to run off to the bath room, with just 131 words to go.

.....the Clown. Not many people know that the Clowns at Rodeos are highly skilled Ringers; able to stare down a bull (not you Bull) that's thinking of charging, standing between a horses hoofs and an injured buckjumper. When necessary the Ringer will put himself in harms way by encouraging the bull to charge him while others carry the injured buckjumper off the arena. Well Cappy's not one of those of course; he's one of the ones who gets the bull's horns under his overall straps because he's talking to someone when the bull charges. It still serves a purpose of course, and Cappy does go to a lot of trouble putting his make up on, even when he's not at a Rodeo. One of thes occasions was at the Annual ................

.....the older boys could ride them. Savage brutes and unstoppable. Turbo remembered the even bigger ones north of Hay. He'd seen what appeared to be cattle grazing off in the distance and walked towards them. As he got closer, he realised they were pigs, and huge. He was now 385 metres from the car and 150 metres from the boar which had started to snort. They were bigger than Shetland ponies. The boar lifted his head and looked at Turbo who raised the rifle fast, luckily they both took off to the left. Their back hair was standing straight up and as they galloped into the distance the boar was making a HHHHHSSSSHHH sound on every leap. Not one to fire at and miss. This would be spectacular in an arena. So Turbo headed for Hay in the landcruiser with a stock crate on the trailer, leather pants, leather gloves and a tighly woven and greased rope. Turbo looked from horizon to horizon, and finally found a herd of four huge pigs. With the rope out the window he charged up behind them, his arm holding the coils. Turbo hade been a Queensland Ringer when he'd run away from home at 14, and it wasn't long before the rope dropped neatly over a female's head, and he was winching her into the trailer. As he bent over the trailer side to loosen the ropes she charged the side and hit him in the nuts. There was no point being a Ringer if you couldn't take a few hard knocks. The next pig he roped was a boar, all clicking tusks and 150 mm hair up on his back. The rope on the bull bar slipped and the boar was off, Turbo skidding on his heels behind for about five kilometres. As the pig stopped, Turbo expertly flicked the rope round his snout and tied it off. The boar pig-rooted a few times, but then quietened down and Turbo was able to ride him up the trailer ramp. The next pig was the other female and she was smart enough to just walk into the trailer. The biggest boar who had watched all this, just walked up into the trailer, which was lucky for Turbo. He was to be called "DYNAMITE" on the Rodeo Circuit, and no one could ever ride him except Turbo, the ringer from Goondiwndi. Turbo bought is first aircraft with his winnings from Dynamite, kept him in his back yard when he got too old to buck. On the way home Turbo stopped off at the Hay Roadhouse for a coffee. He should have got takeaway, because just as he was coming out, a little old lady strolled over to the trailer, put her hand through the bars and said "Hello Piggy Wiggy; are you going to market?" There was an explosive CRASH! as the big boar hit the bars, bending them outwards, just missing the old lady's fingers. Turbo started the Cruiser, dropped the clutch aand was out of town! The wild pigs were a highlight of the show, with plwenty of bloodied riders. Flag and Barrel Race girls knew just how to handle the pigs and there were plenty of hotly contested races. Cappy waas on with a flag and barrel girl for several years..........

......cat ripped the trim to pieces. Eventually Bull got a deal on an old Tiger from Dreamworld, had a set of false teeth made and billed it as a Sabre toothed Tiger, but just when he'd cracked a whip to get it to snarl, it would roll over and go to sleep. Turbo went up to Queensland and picked up a truckload of wild pigs. Bull would let them run through the audiences and that started to become popular until .......

.......unbelievable, and bull only charged 1% of the cargo value. he was howled down by the peanut gallery until he explained that last month's freight through the canal was valued at $800 million dollars, and his take was $8 million. There was a rush from the people who were trying to find out how to fit a tyre valve on a Jabiru, but they were too late. Bull had shedded the D11s,and was looking for the next venture. He realised from his short Gulf stay, that the Arabs had so much money, they'd become bored with life and bought things like tame lions, panthers, crocodiles etc. So he offered $1 million per family package bookings at his African Wildlife Safari Theme Park Rides and Balancing Act School. Several people messaged him, or in reality, AIbull saying those animals lived in African Countries. Bull asked around to be sure then said "I'll bring them in", and so it got to the point where he had $300 million booked and no animals........................

......received a very nasty letter from Donald threatening to increase his tariff rate, and interfering with Don's Mid Term plan to carpet bomb Iran. Bull sent him a raw parwyn........................

.......added another six cruise ships. By now the creek was getting crowded, so he put in an order for 6 Cat D11s to widen it. He took particular care to order them from OT, because OT was the only one who could set a D11 up for swamp work. Many others tried, but when a D11 is about to roll over and your seat is five metres above the mud - twice the maximum "Falls From Heights" safety limit, OT's $234,450.00 anti roll device is a worthwhile addition. With all the dozers, ships, diesel generators for the Theme Park, Bull started running out of fuel on a regular basis. He'd vaguely heard the Strait of Hormuz wasn't strait any more so he loaded a couple of dozers on one of the cruise ships, hired an armed force from General Oswald C. Cook and headed for the Gulf. He went into the wrong gulf and had to back out. He was soon on his way and slid into the Strait of Hormuz. A hired Pirate boat shot out and the occupants plastered the ship with their AK47s. It was only a short burst because Sergeant Raz Cook whacked it with a twenty Five pounder and the last they saw of them were six little black specks swimming for shore. The ship went round the corner and the crew realised the Horn of the Strait of Hormuz was only 50 metres wide, so they anchored, offloaded the D11s which cut a channel through, and like a flood, 156 ships charged through, including the twelve Turbine Tankers bound for the Park of Saint Bull, as he styled himself these days. When they all got back there was a big dinner and p..............................

After a short prayer the Priest would watch the plate moving along the pews and could hear every single one piece piece which dropped.

The Methodists still used the "Shawl of Christ" and had some old dear playing organ, and eventually went broke and joined the Presbyterians, who used credit cards which idenitified the owners, and they were able to move up to padded pews and air conditioning and black BYD Crew Cab Utes for the Parrson, who.......

His long flowing hair (no haircuts when you live on a trawler), beard (nhwyloat), surly countenance (which the prawner does so well), and RM Willliams boots which only the Moderati wore. As the little train carrying the tourists came roundd the corner, there was a recorded BELCH (Bull had tried to keep it up all day but he didn't have enough wind), a huge blast of fire, and bull stepped out onto a platform carrying his "Tablet of Stone" it was made of plastic of course, but the kids had already started to cry. A choir of Angels, with very short skirts started to sing. Clouds thundered in the background and it began to rain, except for the area where the train was parked. A husband from Griffith was heard to say "You can see the XXXXXX nozzles! but otherwise a highly religious atmosphere. As Bull read out the ten commandments there were red faces in every carriage, but bull continued on telling the group that Salvation was only available at the Church, which was the next stop. When the tram arrrive at the church there was such a rush to get in that the font was tipped over......................

I used to reply with fully detailed answers. Sometimes it meant a few hours work, which would be the case here, because frequently in GA there are multiple answers or conditional answers, and after you found the GA answer, you had to search a bit more to see if there were any reasons an RA Certificate couldn't do it. Fequently the correct answer didn't suit them because they thought the only "Rules" they had to comply with were those of RAA, so they'd ignore the hours of research I'd just done and bellyache about "CASA" when the subject matter was Airservices, or campaign for "no stupid rules." Class G was a classic case. Now I just refer to CASA or Airservices and let them do their own research.

Turbo came up with the "Road to Galilee sequence. It had to have a sea, and that was on the opposite sside of the Parwyn Park, so it was a long walk with Turbo having to heal lots off blisters, and forgive the Wicked. Cappy was waiting in a grove of trees for that, was quicker; he tapped him on the shoulder and said "The Lord will provide!". Cappy wasn't sure what he was going to get so he tagged along, and he was whacked in the ear by a falling fish. Around the next corner.............

Turbo apologises for his absence but he has been on mission in another State under cover. Watch the newspapers.

If the location, Coorparoo, is inner Brisbane?

Never had an issue with the horizontal stabiliser; in fact it was easy to hold the nose up just right; just running out of rudder authority was the problem.

Doesn't anyone see anthying wrong with trolling; you think it's funny?
