  1. Thanks to Brett at Sydney Jabiru Flying School for taking my son up on a "TIF" on Sunday morning. My son Matthew is only 10 and has expressed and interest in aviation(the flight was a birthday gift). Brett gave him such an awesome flight that I see a second job in my future. Thanks Brett
  2. Thanks Bruce. I will be chatting to you soon.
  3. Thanks for all the responses. Looks like Camden or Wollongong!!!! OME thanks for the vote of confidence for Jabi's:crying:. Shall we start the whole plastic versus metal debate:bounce: Shawn
  4. So being relatively new to the Sydney area (actually to Australia as a whole), I would like to find an airport that is easy to get to from Sutherland, that has a flying school that offers RAA training? I did a TIF at Bankstown, but from what I could gather, flying from Bankstown in a RAA plane is a tedious affair. Is Camden going to be my next closest or have I missed another spot?? It just seems so far to drive before you get to fly!!! Maybe I should just move:bash: Thanks in advance for you help. Shawn
  5. Hi Ultralights. I do not have a radio so I am using Liveatc app. The reason why I ask is that 98% of transmissions are perfect, 1.5% I struggle to understand (but I am not used to radio work) but the remaining .5% are just covered with static / interference. Its not a serious problem, but I was just curious to know if any ATC has had the issue. Thanks for the responses.
  6. So I have the privelage of spending my mornings and afternoons stuck in road traffic while driving either side of the Kingsford Smith International Airport. Because I have nothing better going on at the time, I listen in to the tower chatter on LiveATC. Most of the transmissions between tower and pilots is fine. There have been instances where not one word has been discernable over the static. I am definately not an ATC nor a pilot (damnit!), but I would like to know if there has ever been a case where ATC has stopped a plane from taking off because the quality of transmission is so poor? I realise that if the radio is not working at all (total falure) the aircraft would would not be allowed to fly. Can an ATC make that type of call??? Thanks Shawn
  7. from one newbie to another - HI!!!!!
  8. Hi there everybody. As the name suggests, when I am big, I want to achieve my ppl. Considering I am just after legal middle aged, I better pull finger and do something soon. I am normally the guy who sits in the back corner listening to everybody else, trying to absorb as much information as possible through osmosis and beer drinking. Nice being here and it looks like a fun forum. Thanks
