    there is some sort of ICAO regulation where if an aircraft registered in the country crashes outside of that countries jurisdiction then it must be investigated by the country where the accident took place. The investigation is reimbursed by the CAA. In this case Australia would investigate the accident, draft up their findings along with an invoice and send it through for payment. This is why you will find 100% of foreign registered aircraft that crashed in Australia have an investigation into what happened. CASA use this as income generation

    They investigate every foreign rego because they charge the costs to the other country and make big $$

    Yes it shows just how little people really understand, its the most basic part of your training but people just dont understand

    Delmar DH20 was meant to be used for medical evacuations where you could put a patient lying down on the back along with a medic. Could fold down for transport one of the big features but the "aircraft" never went into production. I remember this because it was recently used in an e-vtoll presentation showing how far we have come but also remained the same. I think this was in the mid-to late 60s

    A biplane that flies a little close to the underneath of a bridge ?

    German by the rego so i guess a Bucker Bu 131 Jungmann but not 100% sure

    What's a cheque ?

    that is a very ugly plane. Huge wingspan at 75 feet doesn't make it ideal for turning around on agricultural strips ? Also not much difference in the performance speeds. Stall 58 kn, Cruise 76 kn to 89 kn. Hardly a real big gap In cruise speed to stall speed. probably a good idea to have be relegated too museums. Thank you for bringing us another very interesting and unique aircraft

    Radios

    Found them, the range is just so NARROW it will cook most radios at either end of the frequency range. Mobile 1 Ground plane independent VHF aerial system

    Sorry but these aerials are really TERRIBLE. I have the RF plots somewhere.

    Could be because they are flying over the mountain that they suddenly get into huge up winds travelling up the mountain that exceed the G limits of the trike ? that's what it looks like to me and if it is the 2nd time at the same place it would reinforce that there is meteorological involvement

    You are kidding ? There are probably more 4-stroke Rotax powered planes flying with IFA and CS prop's than fixed, especially in the past 15 years.
  13. FlyBoy1960
    Test pilot for what ? I am sure you will get a little bit more interest if you mention the type of aircraft ?

    The same happened to a young Japanese paraglidder pilot who was flying out near Manila in New South Wales. The temperatures were close to 40° and they found her frozen body 24-hours later apparently still rockhard except for the thin layer of skin which had thawed out.

    was driving home yesterday afternoon and grabbed this photograph looking towards the east. This is a cloud out over the ocean just off the Gold Coast. Pretty powerful activity going on, the photograph doesn't really do it justice

    looks like there is more to the personalities here then we know about. He said, she said, they said, they thought they said ?

    Made the news without much fanfare and wild claims which was nice.

    it has been known for a while that they are sourcing engines new at retail prices, they are purchasing used engines with low hours from aircraft accidents and in some cases engines are even being stolen from aircraft. This has been public for about 4 years

    We all get deceived sometimes, mine was when I married a petite young girl with a really pretty smile. The only time I see her teeth now is when she is trying to bite me !
  20. FlyBoy1960
    WOW that's ugly/strange ? it's amazing how you become so used to a particular shape that when you see a change it looks so bizarre. It is obviously a short fuselage version as well

    Its access is blocked when you look

    apparently Rylstone have a couple of bunks set up for visitors and people transiting through the area that can't get over the hill into the Sydney basin because of weather around Mount Victoria and the closed airspace around Williamstown/Richmond. They are also happy to take you in town where there are dozens of accommodation options
  24. FlyBoy1960
    what if you open the largest snap vents facing into the wind ? they quite happily pressurize the cockpit. I wouldn't have a clue if it isn't enough however to stop carbon monoxide but it is a lot of wind and if you open and close the vents it can make your ears pop if you do it quick enough.

    Mudgee Aero Club is another, Rylstone is another. Heck Field has lost its accommodation a few years ago. O think Boonah has something
