MFS at Moorabbin currently $367 dual for a Cherokee so Lismore's a good and fair deal and doesn't need to be crapped on publicly.

I don't think there's a connection Patrick, the RAA Pilot Notes which RAA publish are a damming statistic which they have published without fear or favour.

.........leave the yacht."

Turbo really wasn't a social climbing person, and had become sympathetic to the poor rich aircraft owners who were having trouble with their engines, so he left his beach house (pictured), and put together a team of engine technologists who had extensive experience in issue diagnosis of Holden Engines, quality analysis, fault diagnosis and rectifications, as well as being highly resourceful, self-motivated, team players, and glass half full guys.

Turbo has made a short promotional video which gives some of their history, and their skills (for example at 13:40 we see the insulated coil method of boosting spark), and he is hoping that with his team, engine troubles will soon be a thing of the past, and .........

"When one is old money, Ratto, one doesn't make a song and dance about it; rather, one makes one's way to 'Z quietly and nicks one's kiwi fruit from the nearest orchard, then choofs back old boy. One knows a bargain when one sees one, you see." said Turbo, reading from Britain's "Richest 200".

"As you know, the real Johnny Cash passed away some years ago, just before I'd bought tickets to his show" continued Turbo, and my men on the ground tell me this one is actually a little computer technician with multiple personality syndrome who also plays Dangerous Debbie"

You can phone NAIPS like we used to from country airports, but I agree that was often more confusing than helpful.

Unfortunately this thread was split off from a thread about a fatal accident where the NAIPS report (which is specifically aviation based) was for moderate to severe turbulence, yet the pilot took off and the aircraft broke up in flight.

Problem is you can't see turbulence, and Facthunter has mentioned a couple of times you can be in trouble up to 19 miles from certain cloud formations.

The reason I asked the question was to see just how many people were using NAIPS, and I must say the result was a pleasant surprise.

I agree, there has been a string of lucky escapes such as the latest one where a soccer field was the only possibility nearby, and another one in very bad outback country where there was an airstrip directly below the aircraft, or in quite a few others, where the pilot did a textbook job of his forced landing, but if there are enough forced landings then sooner or later someone is going to screw one up.

Like the workplace, you have to eliminate or reduce the frequency of an accident.

Do any of these people who are continually throwing Jabs into the ground also have Rotax aircraft maintained by the SAME personal? There has to be some reason why so many people have a good run out of their Jabs but the Vocal Minority don't.

In this particular case, if the cause was fuel exhaustion, that's no cause to comment on the quality of the engine, but on the culture and training of the FTF, instructor and student.

There are a surprising number of fuel exhaustions in training over the years, and I'd suggest it is a Human Factors issue with the aircraft expected to churn through three or four students before a refill, rather than a dipstick check before each flight. The J170 gauge is notoriously changeable and at times I found it under reading, and other times over reading, and always used a piece of broom handle, but then found the wing tanks are so shallow that if you are on the slightest angle you get an exaggerated indication on the stick.

Pretty much the same as when you do brain surgery under instructions from the brain surgeon.

This one looks very similar to one that ripped off a wing after hitting a shipping container and that one was rebuilt.
