  1. Nope, no way. Ambulances would only be called for by the Captain if injuries occurred on a flight - such as by severe turbulence or other medical emergency. A simple engine failure would not trigger ambulances. No way!
  2. WHY T.F. were ambulances called to the airport? (if they were, I call BS.) Like the rest of this whole story!
  3. "History doesn't record the number of go-arounds you do, it only records the one you didn't do, but should have."
  4. Ah, Peter, a correction..... CASA people probably issue fewer CofAs (all types) than all of the industry Authorised Persons in Australia do. As a CASA appointed AP myself for a certain thing, I process the applications and issue certificates under my name, on the applicable CASA certificate form/template. CASA is hands off - but does audit our activities. What we issue goes to CASA after we issue it, they don't see it first and approve it, or interfere. By time they see it, it's done and dusted.
  5. SAAA does not register aircraft. They are CASA registered (VH).
  6. "Tooraweenah"? OUCH! Don't hop the barbed wire then. Happy New Year.
  7. Had to give his press conference 10 days in advance, before closing for the holidays.

  10. Generally true, to the extent that you don't have to carry it at all times, but yes, produce on request eg by CASA - at a time/place/method agreed. (not "right this minute!) but losing it, or having someone else lose it for you, is a way bigger deal.
  11. Pilot logbooks - and your aircraft logbooks too for that matter: They are YOUR logbooks, NEVER leave then anywhere else but in YOUR possession. If someone else loses them, it becomes your problem. So please, don't do it!
  12. I would think that CASA could not direct a sport org to do accident investigations - that's out of their scope. CASA does not do accident investigations so can't make someone else do it.
  13. I know a girl called Peg. (I met her on line....)
  14. Some people would do anything to avoid a landing fee. Looks like he got that one free of charge........
  15. Looks like a lot of the plans for the first and second design can be found, rather unusable, just historically saved.
  16. Welding can indeed be done by the amateur builder. Many to most people who have built an aircraft have very likely not undertaken anything like it before, and they generally turn out the best work. I built a wooden aircraft, I did need help with some metalwork machining and welding - those were beyond my capability and equipment. Wood, fiberglass, fabric and paint, instruments and wiring, I did the lot. I was gong to jump in earlier. You can amateur-build Serial No. 2 off the plans you have, and you can change anything you need to along the way.
  17. I recently had a T-Rex try sell me a crate of AK47s. I think he was a small arms dealer........
  18. D-EZB. de Easy Bee, a derivative of de not-so-easy-bee.
  19. So 'who' is going to be issuing fines? Your average Joe Plonker at the airport won't be. I have been trying to find out in the regs 'who' can even ask to see your asic. Have not really found it yet. i.e. - what gives any Joe Plonker worker at your airport the right to ask you for anything? "I'm the airport safety officer on a quad bike" Show us your badge then Kojak.
  20. Perhaps consider one of the headlight polish creams like Meguiar's PLASTX polish. I use this on headlights, it works great for me. I'd use it on my canopy glass if I needed to.
  21. First manned flight 17 DEC 1903. 18 DEC 1903 newly formed FAA prosecutes Wright Brothers for flying without a licence.
  22. "Hey! Down in front Ginga!"
  23. Has Skip contact RAAus for help from his organisation? Surely the OPS manager or team would be able to give some good advice.
  24. Well I'd like to congratulate Skip for deciding to find a test pilot. The reasons don't matter really, it's great thing to decide to get someone in who might be in a better position for success. Bravo I say. (and yes, I did test fly my own tailwheel plane years ago.)
