Someone in the know from SAAA (me) has reached out to KR to offer current state of play info and advice.

I've always found it very odd - how can a business that I have no dealings with, invoice me for something they did not provide (a VH landing someplace)? What if a guy I know who runs his own business, asked me to invoice his customers and seek payment for him? You know what they'd say? Stuffed & Get. Sjussboolschidt. Doesn't make any sense. I'm okay with paying a landing fee if I have to, but to whoever provided the runway, not some third party that I have no contract with and who get my details from the public VH register, and sometimes get it wrong, invoicing me for places I've never been. Easily sorted, but I have to tell them. Has anyone invoiced AVDATA for your time to tell them "it wasn't me." Word has it (happy to be corrected...) AVDATA contact councils and say "Have we got a deal for you! LANDING FEES AT THE AIRPORT! And YOU don't have to do a thing, leave it all to us!" How much of a cut do they get from every dollar?

Back to the PPL for a moment for a comparison.... a PPL holder is authorised (not qualified) to work on aircraft to the items listed in Schedule 8 Pilot permitted maintenance (which includes doing a daily inspection) and training is not required, just that they be competent and use the approved maintenance data and suitable tools. There is no competency check system. Many PPLs are perfectly capable of doing the basic work, (oil changes, plugs, tyres, etc) but may have no clue where to write it up, or how. Flying schools do not teach maintenance tasks (other than daily inspection).

For another sunglass alternative - COCOONS Fitovers. I get mine direct from USA. Will never go back to prescription sunnies or clip-ons, no way.

OME posted the answer a while back in post #8. Any mention of "in writing"? - no there is not. Any mention of "for individual aircraft"? - no there is not.

Ah, back in the saddle at last.

It would help if you outlined who is the "we" you are talking about, along with more of the what.

Pena capena, por favor.

I'm going to say something French. Oui. Looks like a lot of early Mudry CAP influence. Come on DJP..... think.....

That's an aeroplane pun, not a horse pun. Get back on the horse and try again.

Rumour has it it aircraft was possibly a Brumby...... (thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night.... thank you...)

Nailed it.

Big deal, used to happen all the time with Navajo night freighters running Sydney to Essendon - they'd keep on tracking straight after Eildon Weir instead of a slight right turn. ATC would eventually wake them up and sort it out. So what - now trainee pilots will have to have a meal logbook and a sleep logbook? Pi.... off..........

Unbridled humour?

Have we shut the gate on this one? Last call....

Go-jacks are exactly what you need on the mains, yes. Bunnings Aerospace also sells a range of wheeled boards which might do for a tailwheel.
-
So the owner of this horse that chewed this plane, does he saddle any liability?
-
Not at all. It just means that they have not desired or had any need to request their kit be evaluated. Could be simply because they know they would far exceed that 51%, so there's no real point having an eval done. I suspect manufacturer's wanted an independent evaluation of their products, to back up their own beliefs. FAA goes look, and says (carefully) yes, what we saw on that day appears to be an amateur-built eligible kit. -
OMG... it's getting worse...... I am getting a good kick out of it though. (hello.... tap tap tap.... is this thing on....)
-
Manufacturers can request a kit evaluation. Or not. Probably do it prove their kits are 51% compliant, a useful sales tool.

I got nuthin.....................

Whoa! Hang on Peter! Don't get carried away.....

What's the mane message here?
