I said "any stigma" meaning "any chance of a stigma" or "no chance of criticising"..........and that applies to the aircraft type, the pilots, the culture.

Me too - it was just so blatantly obvious, but I'd criticised a few others in the past couple of weeks, so I thought, let him take care of himself.

No we are not giving implied acceptance of these activities, since most of the cowboys are spoken to and tone down, but there are always a few, who are beyond reason, and if spoken to they'll just hide the activity and take themselves out by the percentages.

What is pleasing to see on this site, is that after some of our arguments/discussions, some people clearly take it on board, and post some very good material themselves.

........."I was coming in to land said Turbo, and how can I help it if I start my roundout 120 miles out", and he continued, making a 70 degree turn on to final just to show them.

But also turning at the same time, but at the correct height of 500 feet was a big bad Baron, flown by Atticus Rat, who had inherited all his money from writing copy for forums, had an attitude like a leaking sewer, and HATED Par-are-soles.............................................................

investigation by asra.............low level, illegal operation. ( end of speculations )

Removes any stigma about the aircraft, the good pilots, the culture of the organization.

Back in a time when we had professionals like Macarthur Job investigating accidents and reporting on them, we got the whole story.

There weren't the public posts then of low flying, beach beatups and so on, but the investigators would interrogate the person's community, and the report would often be stinging, as they uncovered, for example, the persons regular drinking before flying, his boasts about flying under bridges, flying through cloud etc, evidence from the club about some near misses or similar incidents, and you were left with no doubt about how to avoid getting your head severed by a power line etc. It allowed you to make smarter decisions and help avoid unnecessary repetitions.

.........delicate little winged warriors performed a faultless approach and landing, all except one, who'd been partying all night, drinking tequila, and telling tales of his hero acts through the years.

On approach he took a shortcut under the trees of a nearby horse stud and joined downwind at a steady 50 feet, singing as he......

Never flown one, but in the sim they are very slippery and hard to slow down if you don't get the circuit speeds right all the way down.

The Biggles culture seems to be spreading.

And what sort of wanker message does that send to the general public?

No need for us to get involved. One of the witnesses was a fisherman in the creek; pilot allegedly waved to him.

Thanks, haven't had any experience in that.

What was the aircraft Blur?

CAO 95.12

While this is not necessarily relevant to this incident, CAO 95.12 Instrument 2011, is a little confusing:

In 7.4 the upper limit is 500 feet unless the Pilot Certificate is endorsed

There is no specified exemption from the 500 foot CAR limit.

In 7.1, the only reference to 300 feet is where it permits flight at less than 300 feet over land subject to three conditions.

In 7.2,7.3, there are similar "if flown at less than 500 feet conditions.

It almost looks as if the 300 is a typo for 500, unless there is an external reference.

It's a bit of a dead argument though; the members are likely to remain apathetic and just take what's dished out.

He doesn't have to Maj, and that's not what he is talking about. The problem is the board members are not consulting the members.

On critical area like the Constitution, Ops Manual, Tech Manual, that's a problem - you only represent them, you don't control them.

What about POH max crosswind component?

"minimum height for gyro 300ft, need endorsement to fly above 500ft, opposite to fixed wing."That statement is correct in relation to gyroplanes.

The above author (Pilot in question) from a post in January. Depends on the height of the wires

Why oh why do we lose so many pilots to low-level flight ? I can't understand why we get so many people running into power lines

CASA has had a minimum flight rule for many years.

You can stay out of this category of statistic by doing your airwork above 500 feet.
