  1. Thanks Tomo. What stage are you up to with your flying?

    No problems Jack! Well I've advanced a little since I started I suppose... have approx 150hrs now on about 8 different aircraft. Just doing the finishing touches to my PPL now (well when I can... been a dragged out process 'cause I keep going places)

     

    Friend of mine has a Savage Cub, and it's one heck of a fun plane to fly... It's a good plane to get your license in I would think... get some great skills developed right from the start.

     

    Keep it up!

     

     

  2. Yes, was an awesome day yesterday!!! I had the privilege to be working almost at the end of the airfield over the street at a business on their forklifts. It was a bit tricky to not get side tracked looking at the sky........ 003_cheezy_grin.gif.c5a94fc2937f61b556d8146a1bc97ef8.gif

     

    Good to pop over during lunch though! Did you get a photo of me in the back of the Dragonfly eating my chips DD? That would have made an amusing shot I was thinking later 008_roflmao.gif.692a1fa1bc264885482c2a384583e343.gif

     

     

  3. Was on a commercial flight which landed at San Francisco airport once simultaneously & exactly in line with with another aircraft on the parallel runway,

    Was flying circuits at Archerfield the other day, I was using 10R and another aircraft was on 10L - parallel runways obviously. Thought it kinda cool when on final I was exactly abeam another Cessna on the other runway, and we pretty much landed simultaneously. Was quite a distance, but my first experience of having something like that happen, I thought it cool! :thumb_up:

  4. Can somebody tell me if I am allowed to "hire" my aircraft out to other pilots to fly as long as it is not "commercially"? Or........what if somebody "hire's" the aircraft, but I fly them from A to B etc? Thoughts?

    Instead of having pages of it all again... I'd like to refer you over here http://www.recreationalflying.com/threads/advertising-your-flight.16771/ ... scroll down a bit and you'll see where it was discussed a fair bit last time. I think there may be some answers there for you.

     

     

  5. So if you have a paying passenger, won't you fly more?

    Certainly, it makes it quite affordable flying if going halves or whatever. But the point I was making is - it's all good to say you 'must' cost share or else. But it's not always relevant, use a bit of common sense, and just don't be commercial! My dictionary states that as: making or intended to make a profit

     

     

  6. Use a bit of common sense too, I reckon... basically they don't want you being commercial, in other words, you get a benefit out of others, financially, hourly etc...

     

    I fly family and close friends around for no cost, and no, I'm not doing anything illegal by doing that! And no I'm not cost sharing there, am I?...

     

     

  7. Well done Peter! :thumb_up:

     

    Isn't it funny how the radio can be such a hard and confusing device early on in the piece - trying to put all the information together... uses a lot of brain power! I can admit to that for sure in the early days.

     

    (getting used to it a bit now though, particularly now I'm flying out of Archerfield and into places like the Gold Coast 047_freaked.gif.8ed0ad517b0740d5ec95a319c864c7e3.gif)

     

    Once again, well done! And it all comes together much quicker now I reckon, time to knock off the 5hrs solo!
