    I would make any, and all, calls that you feel keep you safe and others aware of your presence/intentions. If they say you make too many, tell therm your life is worth more than their opinions..

    How about nwe revive the home of Ultralights and have the southern one at Holbrook? The northern one was tried in Queensland a few years ago...Monto if I recollect correctly...

    Remember we also need distances from Melbourne, perth, Brisbane etc to cater for those who have the temerity not to reside in the great Syd town...

    I thought Temora was pretty damned good, great underwing camping, great food stalls, friendly locals and good grog from the aeroclub. The locals were well on side. Plenty of airspace, no controlled space around. A great museum that flies regularly (shame they didnt combine it with the Raa Aus flyin.) Narromine...too far for genuine old ultralights that dont do super fast speeds, this year was the same as the last at Temora...hows that working for you.

    Read my previous comment re co-pilots group. So...do the surgeons have a men in surgery morning..??

    call it a co pilots program and get rid of the politically correct nonsense. Co pilots covers ladies, men and signifigant others...just sayin

    Made tank extensions for my Xair tanks ( resined onto the back of the existing tanks like a camel hump)...vinyl ester and fibreglass. Light, no problems and now 6 years old and going perfectly. I use both mogas and avgas. No leaks. Carbon fibre is great but its a bit like squashing a bug with a sledgehammer for normal and small size tanks. Make sure you get all of the air out when laying up and bobs your proverbial.....

    Our mob aint negative, they aint positive, they are just there like a concrete wall. Obstruct everything.

    The ramp checks arent the problem (if its not right then it not right). I suggest that overegulation, self serving empire building management, personal axe grinding by management and sheer incompetence are more to blame that mere safety checks. I refer to CASA of course.

    the reason it is not doing well here.......CASA vs FAA and cost. Privatisation of airfields and money hungry airfield owners.

    We had one, .........

    Given that I have a short landing need, I can mitigate the xwind to an extent by landing at an angle across the runway. Xwind landing practice should be standard, apart from emergencies, its fun...looking out the side window to get the runway picture and then straightening up and dropping the into wind wing for the landing. Dont you just love the way the aircraft weathercocks into the Xwind on take off...???

    Can someone tell me what the documentary about an american runway was called. Old age memory kicking in... (sorry folks found it...one six right)..

    I have always thought that there should be a component of recovery from unusual attitudes for all pilots. Maybe a stint or lesson in an aerobatic GA aircraft to learn recovery techniques. Nothing in the Ra Aus books shows that and there are a couple of occaisions where I could have used this info myself, once I go hit by rotor taking off from Mudgee and only me and my dry cleaner know how close I came. A little more training in recovery from unusual attitudes would have helped. Just sayin..

    Nope I am not, but then you should also apply that to driving schools, do you think that 200 deaths a month is ok./ Instead of complaining about the standard of training, and I assume you have checked every school in Australia, then how about providing a decent solution instead of just throwing money at it. Dont give me problems, give me proper and usable answers....

    The flight school I attended and learned to fly at stressed proper flight planning, procedures and over all airmanship. I have no problems with the professionalism and standard of training I received. I am a qualified trainer and all opf my instruction was at the highest level. No complaints from me......thanks Teraya.
