Comments were made not to long ago, I think on here, that went straight to the merits of a live case, after I certainly, and perhaps some others, had warned of the possible consequences of doing this, and which certainly could prejudice that live case, so if you want part reports, you have to be able to show how you're going to prevent this (not just referring to this site, but any public discussion).

Baiting pretty much destroys the site as a reference resource.

Very well said Kaz.

For any one genuinely interested in why our RAA reporting is as it is, there are two or three quite large threads which explain this.

For those slagging off at ATSB and GA reporting, I'd suggest you actually take a look at the ATSB reports to see the volume and judge for yourself whether these people are just playing politics.

This is another very disappointing thread which has been allowed to generate into garbage.

Thanks GAFA, will be watching your progress with great enthusiasm, aware of the C162

Good moderating guys.

Hey there guys, just a random question... is it normal for RAA to request details of your training details after a ramp check?I had a few items on the list (no demarcated flight plan on map, no MTOW placard) and overall though it was a positive experience. If theres something I need to do as far as airmanship I'd rather do it then sit there and think 'I'll be right'.

 

Only thing concerning me is that now RAA want details of my training... is that just to cover them in the case of my actually being improperly trained/endorsed/etc? A 'song and dance' so they can report back to CASA that they're doing the right thing? Or is it something more serious?

 

The ramp check fellows said no negative consequences were to come of the check and it was merely to keep tabs on RAA fliers and give us positive feedback on what we can do better. He also said the info would be passed on to RAA, so I guess that's what this is about then.

 

Anyone else got RAA asking after a ramp check at Temora?

Best thing I've seen in years - this may focus on training standards, and directly prevent a continuation of the fatality trend.

Didn't realise you were amphibious Nev, your secret is safe with me.....

Well bugger me FH, I always THOUGHT you were a Bogan but was never quite sure!

I believe I may have been inadvertently drawn into a turf war on this thread as a result of the following three posts.

The aircraft initially priced at about $ 110,000, will mainly be exported to the North American market and is expected to be put into mass production capable of a maximum annual output of 1000 planes.

Cessna aren't selling anywhere near 1000 162s a year...

Turboplanner #50

You missed the BS clause FT - "capable of"

For the benefit of anyone (neither including nor excluding FT) who may have construed this as anything less than a humorous exchange, if we delete my #50 Australian Language version, and add this British language version, hopefully the meaning will be clearer:

“You may possibly missed the “get out” clause commonly used by manufacturers to indicate production quantities which may or may not have us believe figures more favourable to the story, by adding upon the basic sentence words to the effect of “capable of”, which allows a manufacturer to produce, for example one hundred, and still be able to point to his original statement as being correct.”

And for greater clarity:

“If for example a manufacturer leaves out “capable of” then he is held to account for “failing” even if he produces 999.”

Which particularly applied in Wagga Wagga after Ahlot had been given the job of coming up with a promotional programme for kids by tbe Fire Departmemt and had plastered all the trucks with a photo of himself looking grim with the caption "Play with matches and I'll get YOU!" and all the kids fell about laughing, saying: "......."

I wouldn't have picked the L162 as an icon of the new era.

This issue was solved on real aircraft by fitting a DG; fit one and all your problem will diminish substantially.

Then if you corrected them this isn't an issue and we can all fly conventional safe circuits without people falling out of the sky.

........that he rustled his golden cape and sat quietly with the 9000 waiting to hear Captain's eternal speech from Natfly, hopefully accompanied by a feed of cakes and little fishes.

"W...............?"

They were your students, why didn't you just get their entries and circuit procedures up to a safe standard?

I would LOVE to have been there watching.

This naturally attracted the bead ridden hordes, who asked him where it was all coming from. Turbo pointed down the beach and soon had a magificent wall dug by the scrotum scratching ferals of Coffs.

However, his attention was rivetted at the moment, on the mysterious statement of Captain regarding an apparent meeting, formal or informal at Natfly.

"Could this be the roar that moused?" he mused.

You mean if we don't hang together, we will all hang separately. Nev
