Love to fly

You sure?

Regardless of Starlink, isn't a PLB mandatory for cross country flights?

AvPlan with blue boundary for DRA

Avplan has a satellite map, and also terrain. We consider arrying a satellite device like a Zoleo when you are remote essential. It allows 2 way SMS and email communication. Also let's our designated contacts track us. ADSB coverage is good, but not everywhere yet. Also, Moomba is definitely within a DRA.

You can ask AvPlan for their overlay that shows on the Enroute section. Makes it really easy to see where it is on the charts.

Is it the old WW2 hangar at Bairnsdale? 2 x usb battery packs each with a party light pointing across the doorway might help?

Did you try the flashing party lights from Amazon that I mentioned earlier. Red, green, white flashes. Works in our hangar.

🤔 But pilot RAAus trained, then converted to RPL. Have you read the ATSB report?

In a 210 🤔

I think all pilots would benefit from spin & upset revovery training. Obviously not carried out in an raaus aircraft, but in one certified and suitable for the training.

Pretty sure that I don't agree with this 🤔 I'm aerobatic rated, but think spin revovery and upset revovery training are really important for all pilots. But hey, I am no expert. 🤷‍♂️

Umm a 70-horsepower Continental CD-170 engine is not a Mercedes diesel. There may have been some design input etc, but a Mercedes it isn't. and Continental have a lot of experience building aviation engines.

Why is it CASAs fault? If you're in a shop and no one is watching is it the fault of the police if you steal something?

More than one pilot may fly the same plane on different occasions , and one pilot can fly different planes on different days. Unless everyone has to lodge a flight plan there would be no way to match the data. 🤷‍♂️

Sadly another one in the Hunter Valley today.
