Click on your avatar at the top of the menu and from the popout click one of the options there like "Account Settings"

I think it's a good idea...In The Clubhouse set of forums...any thoughts on this (funnies will be combined) General Off Topic - for all the general stuff Politics and Religion - politics yes but not sure about religion Autos and Bikes - cars and motorcycles and boats and trains etc Sports or Health - most people when they get together, especially in Melbourne talk sports but I also wonder about whether we could help each other in terms of health

The next question is whether or not to merge both the jokes/funnies forums together? We have Aviation Laughter forum here and have Funnies forum on the Whats Up site

Is that 6:60 pm or 7:00 pm OME

Yes, that was planned if it went ahead

I am looking at condensing the Whats Up Australia site (www.whatsupaustralia.com.au) forums down into say just 4 forums and migrating them back into here at Recreational Flying. The Whats New will have a new sub menu for just the Off Topic forums so any Off Topic posts won't interfere with the main Aviation Whats New entries. The IMPORTANT thing is I want to hear from you all on your thoughts on this before I do it so PLEASE speak up what you think, every answer/post is correct and very informative so EVERYONE please have your say...thanks and I greatly appreciate it

CEO and Director of Aviation Safety Shane Carmody comments: As most people will know a substantial package of new regulations comes into force from early 2021. The flight operations suite of regulations covers the general operating and flight rules, air transport certification and governance, air transport operations for aeroplanes and rotorcraft and aerial work. The new regulations retain many of the existing requirements, but for some people and organisations changes will need to be made. That means CASA will have a firm focus over the next 12 months on making sure the aviation community is given appropriate support to transition to the new regulations. We are committed to making the rule transition as easy as we can. CASA will provide extensive guidance material on the new regulations well ahead of their commencement. This will include a mapping tool showing where a rule is in the current regulations compared to where you can find it in the new rules. In the first half of 2020 we will release the new manuals of standards for the flight operations regulatory parts, which will set out in detail what is required for compliance. We will also release sample manuals for aviation organisations to make completing the necessary paperwork an easier job. CASA will hold face-to-face information sessions in metropolitan and regional areas, and we will target information to different aviation sectors. We will also be making sure there is additional time to comply with the more complex requirements in the new regulations. There will be more time allowed for introducing safety management systems and training and checking systems, as well as fitting terrain awareness and warning equipment to aircraft. CASA will consult with the aviation community on these arrangements through our normal processes. I am currently writing to aviation organisations to set out in detail information about the transition to the new regulations and the support CASA will be offering. If anyone feels CASA should do more in a particular area please let us know and we will be more than happy to look at potential additional measures. The aim is to make the regulatory transition as light a burden as is possible for everyone. Best wishes Shane Carmody Updates More online services CASA’s online services continue to grow, with businesses and other organisations the latest to benefit. From 28 October 2019, Australian businesses and organisations will be able to apply for a CASA aviation reference number online through the myCASA portal. Using the myCASA portal - which is accessed from the CASA website - will make the process of getting an aviation reference number quicker and easier for companies, statutory authorities, government entities, sole traders, co-operatives and incorporated companies or associations. Individuals have been able to get their aviation reference number online for some time. To apply online businesses must have an ABN and the individual applying on behalf of the business or organisation must have a myCASA account and an individual aviation reference number. Foreign organisations such as businesses or government bodies will still need to complete the manual aviation reference number application form. Aviation reference numbers are used by CASA to identify clients and are needed before any licence, permission or authorisation can be issued. Find out more about aviation reference numbers for business and organisations. New Brisbane office CASA’s Brisbane office is on the move. Staff in Brisbane are relocating to a CBD location - 180 Ann Street. The move to the new offices takes place on Friday 8 November 2019. On that day normal services from the Brisbane office will be disrupted. Brisbane-based staff and services will not be available by telephone or email from 1.30pm on Friday 8 November. Brisbane-based services include the issue of aviation industry authorisations, drone general enquiries, commercial remotely piloted aircraft services and drone complaint services. People needing these services from the Brisbane office during the move will be asked to wait until Monday 11 November 2019, when the new office in Ann Street will be open for business. CASA apologises for any inconvenience. All other CASA offices will be open for normal business. Class C tower recommended at Hobart A review of Hobart airspace has recommended the introduction of a Class C tower service supported by Class C terminal airspace. The review, conducted by CASA’s Office of Airspace Regulation, said Airservices Australia should submit an airspace change proposal within 12 months. The 2019 airspace review of Hobart said there is an opportunity for Airservices to enhance the level of service provided and the efficiency of controlled airspace. Between February 2017 and February 2019, air transport movements and passenger movements for Hobart and Cambridge aerodromes recorded an average growth of 5.4 per cent and 6.1 per cent respectively. For the 12-month period to February 2019, Hobart passenger movements exceeded 2.7 million. Current passenger movement numbers at Hobart are comparable to locations where Class C air traffic control services are provided in Australia. However, there are higher air transport movements recorded at these other Class C locations compared to Hobart. The review said based on combined aircraft and passenger movements at Hobart and Cambridge compared to other Class D and Class C towered locations in Australia, the number reported incidents is considered low. Read the Hobart airspace review. Funding for regional airports Regional airports can start the process of seeking new funds for safety upgrades. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack said guidelines are now available to give airport owners and operators more information on their eligibility for the $100 million program. “For many regional communities, the local airport provides an essential link to the rest of Australia,” Mr McCormack said. “That’s why we’ve committed $100 million over four years from 2019–20 to 2022–23 to help owners of regional airports right across Australia deliver safer runways, taxiways and other safety upgrades such as new fencing or safety equipment. The Regional Airports Program will make sure regional airports meet the needs of communities and local industry now and into the future.” Round one of the program opens for applications on 24 October 2019 and closes on 12 December 2019. Find out more about the airport funding. Magazine boosts safety Make sure you don’t miss out on the new quarterly print edition of CASA’s Flight Safety Australia magazine. More than 85 per cent of people who read Flight Safety Australia consider it has made them safer in their aviation role. More than 95 per cent say it increases their knowledge and awareness of aviation safety issues. An annual subscription costs only $39.95. The summer edition will feature a ‘cloud spotters’ guide to safety by Kreisha Ballantyne, delving into the various families of clouds, the detailed naming scheme and, most importantly, which ones to avoid during flight. American-based contributor Thomas P. Turner poses a key question for aviators: we’re taught we should use checklists, but do we know why and how to use them? Subscribe to print version Flight Safety Australia magazine now. It can also be read online for free. Learn from close calls Sports aviation has its own unique challenges and risks. And a key to meeting those challenges and avoiding the risks is to learn from other people in sport aviation. To make this job easier CASA has released another sport aviation special publication – Close Calls 2019. This 45-page booklet is full of real-life stories about sport aviation flying, including errors, slips and omissions. This is the fourth close calls sport aviation special and important experiences have been openly shared regardless of possible embarrassment to promote safety. As in previous years there are stories and confessions from high-profile, even renowned, sport aviators. Stories cover gyrocopters, parachuting, gliding, home built aircraft, paragliding and ultralights. There is also a section on radio calls in non-controlled airspace. There is a $15 postage and handling charge for delivery of the booklet. Order a copy of the Close Calls 2019 sport aviation special now. Our forms are getting easier CASA’s forms are getting easier to use. PDF-fillable forms are being redesigned to make them simpler and faster to complete. The aim is also to reduce the number of CASA forms and consolidate where possible. Guidelines for completing forms are being integrated into the forms themselves or provided as website content. Over the coming months, CASA will continue to redesign and publish the most commonly used forms. To make sure you are using the most recent version of a form visit the ‘forms and templates’ page on the CASA website. Forms associated with CASA checklists, manuals or regulatory content are currently not included in the forms upgrade project. Go to the forms and templates page on the CASA website. Briefs Round one of CASA’s 2019-20 sponsorship program is open for applications until Friday 22 November 2019. CASA sponsors activities that promote aviation safety for the benefit of the wider aviation community. This can include activities such as conferences, workshops and seminars, safety forums, educational programs, publications and recreational or industry events. Feedback is being sought on two new visual reporting points at Jandakot Airport in Western Australia. The two new reporting points, Oakford and Brick Works, were implemented in May 2019 after an aeronautical review of Perth airspace in 2017. CASA wants to hear from visual flight rules pilots and air traffic controllers to find out if the new reporting points are easy to see, easy to understand on the radio and if they are suitable for their operations. Comment by 1 December 2019. An update of the advisory circular listing approved Part 147 training organisations has been released. This document lists the maintenance training organisations approved to carry out theory and practical aircraft maintenance training. Following a comprehensive review CASA has released an updated version of the Flight Examiner Handbook. This handbook contains the standards, policies and procedures to be used by flight examiners and CASA officers when conducting flight tests. Updated advice on night vision imaging system defects has been released. This new version of an airworthiness bulletin gives more information on equipment failure. A review of the airspace around Brisbane West Wellcamp aerodrome has found it is fit for purpose. CASA’s Office of Airspace Regulation will monitor traffic growth at Wellcamp over the next two years, including the integration of flight training operations. Another airspace review may be conducted after flight training begins at Wellcamp. Seminars make safer pilots Avsafety seminars make pilots safer. That’s one of the findings from a new survey of pilots who have recently attended a seminar. More than 95 per cent of pilots who took part in an Avsafety seminar consider it made them a safer pilot or changed their safety behaviour. Ninety-eight per cent of participants say they would recommend a seminar to other pilots. The theme of the latest round of seminars is ‘expect the unexpected’. Topics being covered include pre-flight planning, aeronautical decision making and checklists. Several case studies are examined covering weather, fuel, weight and balance and airspace infringements. The importance of in-flight decision making is also covered, including some of the traps in decision making. Participants discuss a case study involving fuel management from the point of view of in-flight decision making. Checklists are covered, including their history, importance and how to use them. Several safety occurrences are reviewed where the correct use of a checklist may have stopped the incident or accident occurring. In November 2019 AvSafety seminars will be held at: Mackay Parafield Warrnambool Emerald Echuca Nhill Longreach Naracoorte Mount Gambier Geraldton Jandakot Murray Bridge. Book a place at a pilot safety seminar now. Seminars for engineers A new series of engineering AvSafety seminars is now underway. The theme of the seminars for engineers is ‘the human component’. Three key topics are being covered - engineering errors and the lessons learnt, the human component of engineering and proposed new general aviation maintenance and continued airworthiness regulations. CASA’s experts use a number of case studies to delve into engineering errors, lessons from mistakes and techniques for avoiding pitfalls. The focus is on exploring the human component of engineering and the cost factors involved in maintenance errors. Importantly there is also discussion about the proposed Part 43 general aviation maintenance regulations for private and air work operations. CASA’s aviation safety advisors welcome discussions and questions, both during and after the presentations. These seminars are a great opportunity to add to professional development, improve safety knowledge and build better teamwork. In November 2019 engineering seminars are being held at: Geraldton Jandakot Hobart Launceston Perth. Book a place now at an engineering seminar.

Ok, I have created a new section called "Aviation Accidents" and it is contained in the "Media" section of the main menu. I will start populating it with accidents over say the last 3 years from the entries in the Aviation News forum to build up the list of entries for discussion so the entries will get older and older as I go but I will also add any new ones that come in as well. There are several categories: Recreational General Aviation Commercial Military Rotary Other Each entry will also contain the tags of the Date of the accident and also the Country of where the accident occurred. These should help in steering any discussion. I also would like to add the strict site rules when discussing accidents: Accidents and Incidents posts are to be made with consideration to them being a learning tool for the betterment of all site members No conclusions shall be made on the cause of any accident. No allocation of personal blame shall be made directly or indirectly at any person. Possible causes, or contributory factors, of an accident may be explored and opinion given based on the poster’s demonstrated reasons for giving such opinion. All posts shall be sensible of the feelings of family and friends and expressed accordingly.

I moved the Aircraft menu item back to the main menu for the time being...I still have not finished populating the other sections yet to start on building up the Reference Section

It is now under the Reference main section which will include Aircraft, Accidents, Famous People and other reference items as I build it up

There should be a button on the advert "Set as complete"

I am starting to wonder if the site is really worth having any more given that of the hundreds that visit the site only 9 people have bothered to vote...has the site now run its course?

Good idea however getting incident reports is extremely hard, just look at trying to find an incident report for an RAAus accident.

BUT this site is NOT Australian only...it is for ALL recreational aviators

Yes, a Guest will only be able to see the entry title but will need to register to see the content...just like the Articles, Tutorials and Aircraft sections...on the Home page they can see the article name and that it exists but when they click on it a message says that it is only viewable to registered users. Also, forgot to mention that the entries will be world wide, not accidents in only one specific country and both small light aircraft up to airliner as I think we could even learn something from an airliner accident

On the site we have database sections for Articles, Aircraft, Tutorials etc. The Articles section entries are at the moment coming from the Aviation News forum, I go through each entry in there and convert anything that is interesting into an Article for the Article section and then delete the rest as these are no longer needed. One such type of News Article is every aviation accident that has happened over the last few years so I was wondering, strictly from an educational point of view, whether to create a new section on Aviation Accident Articles. This new section would contain the news items on all the accidents that have happened over the last few years and as each one happens in the future. It would be contained in the main Media section of the site. We need to give thought to the loved ones but also I believe it would be very helpful to discuss, in a mature and thoughtful way, the accident media report and meets the site objectives of: Through interactive discussion... 1. Pilot Skills are increased 2. Aircraft are better maintained 3. Pilots safety is improved So what say you...vote if this initiative should go ahead...thanks

I think most people just don't care about RAAus any more...they fly the same as they always have, although it is getting more and more expensive and it is no longer an association of members, common interest members, it is just a company now so who cares about them

Guys, some interesting stuff here and good for a separate thread but can we get back to the topic...thanks

Off the top of my head I have one which you can see towards the bottom of this page https://www.recreationalflying.com/tutorials/page/2/ I will have a look through my files and see if I have any more and let you know. I will email the original images to you

Unfortunately that job didn't end up happening so I am still unemployed and getting desperate

CEO and Director of Aviation Safety Shane Carmody comments: Getting ready for the new general operating and flight rules which start in early 2021 is now a whole lot easier. In an important milestone for aviation safety regulation, CASA has released an advanced draft of the plain English guide to Part 91 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations. In effect Part 91 sets out the rules of the sky, which means it is essential knowledge for all pilots. What we have done is to carefully translate the necessary legal language contained in Part 91 and the associated manual of standards, as well as including helpful tips, to create an easy to read and use publication. There will be little need for most people in aviation to refer directly to the Part 91 regulations and manual of standards as the guide covers all the content succinctly and accurately in plain language. I have been firmly behind the development of the plain English guide because it will make the transition to the new suite of operational regulations far easier for everyone. In March 2021, new regulatory parts commence covering air transport in small aeroplanes, large aeroplanes and helicopters, as well as aerial work operations and sport aviation. Between now and commencement, CASA will develop other legal documents to support the regulations, as well as detailed explanatory and guidance material. This will include sample manuals and a gap analysis tool - showing where a rule is in the current legislation compared to where you can find it in the new rules. The advanced draft of the Part 91 plain English guide is being released now so everyone can familiarise themselves with the resource and provide us with feedback. We are working to issue the final version of the guide in the first half of 2020, when the Part 91 manual of standards is complete. Our goal is to give everyone plenty of time to be across the introduction of the new operational rules before they start. Of course, right now the new rules haven’t commenced, so it is important to keep following the current regulations and requirements. Please go to the interactive PDF version of the guide and give us your feedback via [email protected]. I was very pleased to recently present the 2019 Stephen Guerin scholarship to pilot Ashley Pullman. The scholarship was set up to honour the late CASA flying operations inspector Stephen Guerin, who was killed in a 2017 accident in South Australia. CASA contributes $15,000 towards the costs of further professional qualifications for a pilot in South Australia who has already achieved or is well advanced towards a commercial pilot licence. Ashley was chosen from ten applicants due to his commitment to advancing in aviation and already being a safety conscious and respected member of the South Australian flying community. His ambitions are to complete a multi engine class rating and then proceed to multi engine training approval and instrument training approval. I’m sure Ashley has a bright future in aviation and I’m pleased CASA can support his training. Best wishes Shane Carmody Updates Comment now on recreational aircraft weight limit Consultation closes soon on a discussion paper setting out a proposal to increase the weight limit for aeroplanes administered by approved self-administering aviation organisations. CASA is seeking feedback from the aviation community on the impact of increasing the maximum take-off weight limit from 600 kg up to a maximum of 760 kg. This would only apply to aircraft used for recreational activities or flying training and the approved self-administering organisation must demonstrate to CASA a capability of maintaining an acceptable level of aviation safety. Other aircraft limitations such as maximum stall speed would not be changed under this proposal. The proposal would see the establishment of a new operating classification within an approved self-administering organisation safety system to manage the operations of aircraft with the proposed higher maximum take-off weight. CASA is seeking submissions that highlight any perceived pros, cons and effects on aviation safety, as well as potential financial impacts. The provision of relevant data or practical examples is welcomed. Feedback from consultation on the discussion paper will help CASA to decide the next steps, including whether to develop a more detailed policy proposal. Have your say on the maximum take-off weight increase for aeroplanes managed by an approved self-administering aviation organisation discussion paper before 28 September 2019. Aerodrome manual of standards released An updated manual of standards for the aerodrome regulations has been released. The manual of standards for Part 139 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations sets out safety standards for a wide range of technical matters relating to the physical construction and maintenance of certified aerodromes. The manual has been updated to reflect changes in the aerodromes sector, technology and best practice. Changes mean Australia enhances its level of compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization standards. This will benefit pilots, as all aerodromes will have more consistent visual aids and operational procedures. The Part 139 manual of standards can be used as a practical manual for aerodrome operators and people involved in constructing, maintaining and operating aerodromes. CASA will also publish a suite of guidance materials to provide practical support on many aerodrome regulatory issues. This guidance will further explain the technical requirements of the manual of standards and will use plain language, models, diagrams and case studies to clarify acceptable means of compliance. It will include sample manuals. There was extensive consultation on the updated Part 139 manual of standards during its drafting. It takes effect immediately on 22 August 2020, with a two-year transition period. Go to the Part 139 Manual of Standards. Attention all top end pilots Pilots flying across the top end should mark Wednesday 9 October 2019 in their calendars now. That’s when CASA will be holding a special seminar about flying in the wet season. This seminar will focus on a fatal 2017 wet season accident near Darwin involving a Cessna 210. It offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from a senior Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigator who will analyse the causal factors behind the crash. Presenters at the seminar will apply a number of planning and decision-making models to the facts surrounding the accident. The wet season seminar is an important opportunity to help pilots flying across northern Australia make better and more rational decisions when managing many of the hazards associated with wet season flying. The seminar is free and being held in Darwin at the Mercure Darwin Airport Resort Hotel from 19:30 on 9 October 2019. Book your place at the wet season seminar now. Stay alive – don’t push it! A new campaign has been launched to reduce the number of weather-related general aviation accidents. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says 21 people were killed in the last 10 years in accidents where visual flight rules pilots flew into cloud, fog or darkness. The ATSB’s Chief Commissioner Greg Hood says the figures are concerning. He said they show one in ten visual flight rules operations into instrument meteorological conditions resulted in fatal; accidents. “Weather-related general aviation accidents remain one of the ATSB’s most significant causes for concern in aviation safety; the often fatal outcomes of these accidents are all the more tragic because they are avoidable,” Mr Hood says. To remind pilots of the dangers and to highlight how to avoid a weather-related accident the ATSB has launched a new safety promotion campaign titled ‘Don’t push it, don’t go. Know your limits before flight’. The campaign highlights three key messages: the importance of thorough pre-flight planning and having alternate plans; that pressing on where there is the possibility of entering instrument meteorological conditions carries a significant risk of spatial disorientation; and the value of using a ‘personal minimums’ checklist to help manage flight risks. Flying into poor weather without the training and experience to do so can rapidly lead to spatial disorientation when a pilot cannot see the horizon. This then leads to incorrect control inputs and a resultant loss of control of an aircraft. Learn more about the don’t push it, don’t go campaign. All the info on wildlife hazards Everyone with an interest in aviation wildlife hazards should check out the new web site of the Australian Aviation Wildlife Hazard Group. Fresh features include a graphical overview of bird strikes over the past 25 years, statistics on the parts of an aircraft most commonly struck and the altitudes and locations strikes occur. The resources section of the website has been reorganised, with new resources to be added regularly to make it a one-stop-shop for wildlife hazard management information. Bird strikes happen every day and occur most commonly at airports when aircraft are landing or taking off. The majority of strikes happen at low altitudes: 50–60 per cent of bird strikes occur at zero to 50 feet, and 30 per cent between 50–500 feet. Bird strikes worldwide have accounted for 262 human fatalities since 1988 and destroyed 250 aircraft. The Australian Aviation Wildlife Hazard Group is the primary aviation wildlife hazard management reference body in Australia. The group’s membership includes multiple aviation industry stakeholders and organisations, such as airlines, airports, Defence, air traffic control, government agencies, wildlife researchers and service providers. Go to the wildlife hazard website. In brief Have your say before 30 September 2019 on proposed new balloon regulations. CASA has issued a draft of Civil Aviation Safety Regulation Part 131 for comment. Part 131 covers hot air balloons, hot air airships, gas balloons and mixed gas/hot air balloons. The proposed rules aim to improve the focus of balloon transport operators on the potential for human and organisational factors to cause accidents. New rules came into effect on 1 September 2019 setting out a clear path for a pilot holding a commercial pilot balloon licence to progress from smaller to bigger balloon envelope sizes. The new rules also amend the qualifications for the chief pilot of a balloon air operator certificate holder. Comment by 27 September on proposals for a new self-study training pathway for aircraft maintenance engineers. The proposed new pathway would be similar to the CASA Basics Examinations/Schedule of Experience scheme that existed under the previous CAR 31 licensing system. Have your say on proposed regulatory changes about managing safety data and information. Proposed changes reflect the latest International Civil Aviation Organization standards. Comment by 22 October 2019. Comment by 30 September 2019 on proposed new rules covering flight operations, training and maintenance for sport and recreational aircraft administered by sports aviation bodies. Part 103 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations will replace and consolidate the various exemptions from regulations that currently apply to private sport and recreation flying. It will mean sport and recreational flying can continue largely unchanged. There are some new requirements relating to defects, data plates and aircraft towing. The new version of CASA’s online learning management system – AviationWorx - has been launched. Users can now log in through myCASA, find and manage courses more easily and view courses on a range of mobile devices. Don’t miss out on the new quarterly print edition of CASA’s Flight Safety Australia magazine. An annual subscription costs $39.95 and is full of valuable safety information and insights. Subscribe by 28 October to get the Summer edition in December. If you missed out on the Spring edition - featuring world champion Red Bull Air Race pilot Matt Hall - it’s now available as a back issue in the online store for $14.95, while stocks last.
