  1. Which to follow, you have to be in VFR conditions. Nev
  2. Specifically Being required to operate under a system Of "Strict Liability" By CASA No Lawyer would like that. Nev
  3. I was referring to something Worse than signing the RAAus document that Pilots have to cop. Nev
  4. It's in Legalise English. Only Lawyers can understand it. Nev
  5. Individuals feel Powerless and they pretty much ARE unless they can get together for a common cause. RAAus is unable to ruffle CASA's feathers because it is dependent on CASA for it's existence in law. Aviation has been dissected into Various bits often antagonistic to each other over turf the rule over. This weakens the existence of a common voice. Various groups have less certainty of a future they have had a say in.. WE have gone backwards in the Last 25 years. Nev
  6. It's so easy to stand back and criticise, but WHAT IF everybody did it. ? Nev
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Hasn't covered the Liability they are exposed to. Put yourself in THEIR shoes. It's an untenable Position. Nev
  11. Hang in there Pal and best of luck. Nev
  12. 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
  13. 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

    It appears to Have almost NO forward speed??? Nev
  15. You fly a small plane to Be one with it, not to turn it into an automated whiz bang Toy. Nev
  16. Glad you had success. We need more of it. Nev
  17. 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.. Nev
  18. 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
  19. In Navigating NEVER rely on ONE single Indication. Back it Up. Nev
  20. The Learning process with these things is Never ending. Nev
  21. 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
  22. How bloody insulting is THAT? and YOU T510, should be ashamed of yourself. Nev
