Hi wise owls, I have had the need to ask people to not smoke near my aircraft and inside hangars. Can you direct me to a regulation governing smoking near aircraft, airside or hangars? I fly from a private strip but think the rules would cover aircraft generally. Thanks

I was at Duxford about 5 years ago. It was the best organised and sustained flying display on both days of the weekend. I have been to many but this show has to be the best anywhere. It has to be the first on your bucket list for seeing the warbirds fly, landing and taking off in front of the spectators on an enormous grass field.

If you run an ipad, search for Co-pilot GPS. The first download is free. You can get all of USA for free. Used it during Oshkosh this year and then for 600 k road trip finishing in San Francisco. An excellent product. I purchased and used the Europe maps and they are as good. -
I appreciate the efforts of the Ians, only passing on my experiences.

I have been able to do multiple area translations in one but not able to do any locations in single or multiple. Only FYI. Thanks for your support. Rob

Apology offered. I was attempting to get a location briefing not an area briefing. My mess up.
-
I just tried it again,. I tried to copy and paste using right clicks and then using the control A/C as you outlined. Still after the text copying into the box, press translate and only the warning shows. It is not possible to progress from here as there is nothing else on the page. Thanks
-
I have copied the info but after asking for the translation, I cannot progres past the disclaimer. Any polite suggestions. Thanks

I attended the latest (and 2012) Ausfly for the duration of the event and found it a great coming together of flyers and others interested in flying. I am now RAA only but had the pleasure of working with and talking to a vast range people from "like to be's" to long time heavy commercial captains. The underlying reason was an underlying interest and love of things aviation. I was again involved in ground management of the arriving and departing aircraft and with just a few exceptions found the pilots to be a most agreeable lot both in the aircraft and socialising. This should be kept as sacred and not over-ridden by which camp or association we belong to. Looking forward to meeting many new aviators again next year weather gods willing.

I was surprised how much the B17 was affected by ait movement on approach and landing, maybe just too light.
-
No hire cars at Narromine. Check the SAAA site for accomodation, probably only tents at this stage.
-
I took the B17 flight and ticked that one off the bucket list. BUT, there was a B29 running up when we returned from the flight. Now that is the top of my list. I went for a drive via Memphis and Albuqurque, to near Portland Or. Wow, the Spruce Goose is one hell of a wooden aircraft. The significant contributions/donations by the American flying community to their museums as well as to Oshkosh make Australian flyers seem like a bunch of miserable tightwads.

Best wishes TK58. Part of your task is to keep the enthusiasm of the presenters sustained. I attended a forum for an Australian manufactured aircraft this year and the presenter was quite open about the fact that he had used up his time, energy and enthusiam before the Saturday forum began. When a number of members asked questions relating to what had been discussed at the Friday forum they were given short shrift. I feel it is important that you and presenters appreciate that all members cannot attend every day of the event. My simple suggestion is to have stand where members can check the calibration of their torque wrenches. I am sure that this is not done often enough. Again good luck.

Try this and look at Camp Schuller. I haven't stayed there but believe it is good. http://airventure.org/planning/where_to_stay.html

I am sure they have sufficient staff in Canberra. A couple of months ago I offered to spend a week (at my expense) in Canberra being gopher, deployed as needed.I wanted to contribute my bit to assist the association. I have not received a no thanks or acknowledgement to this day.

A word of warning ref driving. DO NOT SPEED. All of the nasty stories of police being overzealous are true. Message- be a perfect citizen and have a nice day.

Going again this year, and staying about 40 minutes away in a motel. There are many motels available via the usual hotel search sites. You can often get big breakfast, air con and a fridge for the cool ones when you finish the day. Parking is $10 a day and easy to access which you can prebook on the EAA website. I suggest you join the EAA to get reduced entry and other price reductions. Even on the B17 flight experience. Awsome. I concurr with not trying to do the lot. Have a great time. It is hard not to.

I attended the CASA forum on Easter Saturday cca 1600 in hangar E. The statement was that if you use an ipad with Ozrunways, the ipad mini was acceptable as a second source of maps saving the trees but a bit more out of pocket to be running both.
-
Thanks for the assistance gents. Gradually getting to the solution.
-
I have seen reference some time ago about someone in the Riverland or Riverina who has the clues on Jabiru engine servicing. I would appreciate help in locating this mystery man.
-
Good video Dave. It was a good turnout wasn't it.
-
Ian, I see this as an ongoing resource and it could be thrown open for contributions at a later date. Less important than the strips.
-
Is it feasable to include local flyer friendly accomodation for overnighting?

I am suffering the slow downloading problem on this site as well as returning to the previous page. I tried the aviationenthusiasts.net/ link and had no problem going forward or back.
