    ...............Lightweight Mandrel. After this event which saw Cappy rebuffed, sadly a common event, the NES minds went back to thoughts on the origins of the two tone Holden with "Mirrors", "Visor", "louvre" and "Spats". For new members of WF, The members of AUF had massive arguments over "Flying Cars" at that time. No one knows "why". They never got animated over "Flying Bullocks" or "Flying Chooks" or even "Flying People", but despite the very obvious defects in these couplings the members would have vicious fights over the design of "Flying Cars". This Powder Blue Holden started on of the greatest Sh!tfights in the history of WF when a wheat cockie from Rupanyup decided to make his powder blue Holden into a flying car. He bought two International Harvester header feed boxes and welded them onto the sides and headed for the Horsham Road. Gunning the motor ..........

    ....and Turbo immediately picked up the fear in Cappy; it was bad being ai straight mandrel, but what if he was a compound mandrel; we all know what that means don't we. As he was downing his gin and becoming more alarmed. T.the girl from the National Bank (they're like that) came over and he couldn't help it, he blurted out "I think I'm a compound mandrel!" The National Bank girl recoiled and started brushing her clothes down and ....

Chairman XI had lleft it with a flat tyre and half-eaten Maccas Spicy burger in it. Cappy and Turbo call him Hi - Chee on the weekends away. His dream is top own a Maccas.

    "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.

    However the question was about a specific Airservices category Designated Remote Areas. Anyone from GA operating Cross CountryTouring can pull the details from NAIPS.

    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.

    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.
  12. turboplanner
    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.

    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.

    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

    No + compression ratio to be considered. Make an interesting sound when they blow in street racing, but there the occupants can step out and push it off the road.
