    Remember when you turn on a GPS Epirb it has a cold startup and could take a couple of minutes to get a fix. Also it would need a good look at the sky to get as quick a fix as possible. The benifit of the Spot is that it is on while traveling and already knows where you are and will send an immediate fix at the push of the button. Does the Spot product satisfy requirements to carry PLB/EPIRB ?

    I asked a question of a friend Q. I have in the past recd a proximity warning just sth of gympie I had a transponder. Do you need a transponder to be seen. Down to what alt over tiger country NW glasshouse - gympie. Does cloud showers affect accuracy A. Yes to the transponder generally but we do have primary out to 60nm they would have to have been high for that though. WX does not affect transponders. Gympie is 68nm from YBBN

    Hi Tomo, If she went out to sea you'd think Maroochy or Brisbane would have tracked her. She would have been a blip on the radar even if not fitted with a transponder. Having said that I believe our Hi-tech systems don't like bad weather either.

    Sadly in this case, no news is not good news. Thoughts and prayers for the pilot and passengers.

    Hi Hadyn, Have you looked into instaling a ERPS (Electronic Rust Prevention System), they work, do some research. Mark has one in his Sav. They are used on Oil Rig Platforms and Grandstands. Professional Beach Fisherman swear by them, I think a must in your environment

    February 2012 Was pretty excited about a nice fly and breakie today, checked the forecast on Elders yesterday "Sunny" yahoo - looking good. Checked area 40 early - showers, off the ground after 7am, climbed out 12 on initials at YCAB and a frown came over my face as I saw the showers over Moreton Bay. Thought mmm... lets have a look. Ducked and weaved to Tangalooma than through some light showers and made inbound call for YDUN over Kooringal. Got to Nth Straddie and the Weather looked very heavy, tracked over to Pt Lookout looked south and saw plenty more coming. Called up YDUN advised turning Back and headed up the east coast of Moreton Island in the sunlight than ducked and weaved a bit over Moreton Bay to the centre of Bribie. Well at least I got further than last time I tried, might have to wait till Autumn or Winter for a good run at it............

    Hi Slarty (Ross) got a 5" off Ian (the RAA shop unit), would like to get your custom screen and I was wondering if I would be pushing the friendship. Ian may like to offer on the 5" and 7" units. Is it possible to have a Nav toolbar button on the page as well as those already provided ? Thanks again

    Aye Neil the Grace and Low Speed of an Aerochute and the ability to STOL but also plenty of giddyup to get places. How does she Cruise i.e. TAS at say 5000rpm ?? and yeah, thinking about Straddie

    Ahlocks Thanks for your input Mate

    Thanks Ahlocks, some clarification would be good, as far as I can see the only difference between 95.55 and 95.32 is the types of Aircraft they cover. The wording in each section appears to be the same except type.
