    It's so easy to stand back and criticise, but WHAT IF everybody did it. ? Nev

    You maybe haven't experienced Flying in the top end in the wet. You need weather radar and Believe it or not Anti Icing if you flew above say, FL180. Darwin is the Place to experience thunder and lightning, preferably from the Ground. The Intertropic convergence zone on the Way to East TIMOR can be some of the most extreme weather you will ever encounter with Cb Tops to 60,000 feet like a wall of Green ice to look at. Planes Have disappeared without trace there.. Nev

    We have Gone Backwards at a great rate of knots since the Days of AUF The Empire builders took over. Remember "the NEW GA". THAT Was Never going to Work. Nev

    Apathy is Part of it, but not all of it. .Nev

    Understanding where we are at is a good starting Point. Jumping up and down doesn't get you anywhere,. Aviation Lawyers are specialists but stay out of that and Let the Big Boys and girls play. CASA has the Ultimate responsibility for All things Aviation. BY LAW. Nev

    Hasn't covered the Liability they are exposed to. Put yourself in THEIR shoes. It's an untenable Position. Nev

    Unfortunately that is the Litigious World we Now live in Jack. It's a Matter of survival for RAAus and attempts to Protect those who work for it from Losing their Houses. This inevitable out come was easily Predictable. Nev

    I would be pretty sure that RAAus have had advice about this and consider it necessary to continue to Function. ASk you Lawyers what they think about Operating under the Law of Strict Liability and that's what CASA applies to everyone whether you like it or Not. Nev

    You fly a small plane to Be one with it, not to turn it into an automated whiz bang Toy. Nev

    Glad you had success. We need more of it. Nev

    The Average junior Pilot is NOT Interested. They'd rather depend on The gizmos backed by redundancy GNSS is one form of IMC Navigation and widely used with Proper training and good systems but It is NOT VMC Flying The reality sets in when you can't see the ground and you only have a Rough idea where you are and you aren't qualified to fly in cloud..

    Often you have only your Magnetic Compass and a Hopefully accurate weather forecast as your fallback Position. On the surface of the Ocean there are NO fixes or signposts . Accurate Heading keep is essential.. Nev

    In Navigating NEVER rely on ONE single Indication. Back it Up. Nev

    The Learning process with these things is Never ending. Nev

    YOU don't make the rules, Danny, for this site. It was not ONLY about L's and R's I put a fair bit into it in a rare Moment of inspiration and surprised myself. Incidentally don't pretend that is an apology. It was just another Put down and very Personal. Nev

    How bloody insulting is THAT? and YOU T510, should be ashamed of yourself. Nev

    His stuff is quite well regarded.. Met info was never easy to obtain. I know of no single comprehensive reference for Met. Air Law needs to be current. Flying with Other pilots X country is always useful provided you don't pick up any bad habits Compile a small note book of all the rules you must remember. . Do a flight Plan copy and do your Own entries and estimate ETA's and fuel endurances. You can enter it in your Log Book But it doesn't count as flight time Nev

    Oh FFS give it a break. Too Many RULES mate. "Confucius say", is timeless whatever you say. Times are changing Mostly for the Worst in the Tolerance and freedom of speech area..Nev

    Would you really expect to? I made it up. Not the Snopes bit. The Joke part. Nev.
  23. facthunter
    Did they have Planes then? You are allowed to Quote anything and Mine was done with acknowledgement. God said "let there be Light"...and there WAS light. SNOPES will tell you if things are true or not. Nev

    On smaller acreages your Hand is Nearly always on the throttle. Unfortunately for those of us who also fly It works in reverse to the Aeroplane. A decent vine sprayer would absorb More that 50 Hp without the tractor Moving.. . Nev

    I thought that was Humorous as well as a fitting response to the Previous Post. Oh well. I tried. Nev
