Love to fly

You're political affiliations are clear. Bit this is a flying forum and methinks it isn't the place.

Thanks. So why the increase in price, and reduced availability?

Ian do we know what % of Australian AvGas is produced in Corio/Geelong? I've been told it's 100%. I'm trying to understand the shortages at some airports & the steep increases i(over 50c at Moorabbin & regional NSW) In price that took place yesterday if that is the case.

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.
