Country Flyer

Good morning Ironpot, is that price including GST and delivery on top ? Just trying to gauge it as the local IGA (also a fuel centre and the owner is a pilot) has access direct SHELL products

Bluetooth enabled headset I use Lightspeed Zulu3 and it works... the only issue is there needs to be a delay between them talking and you talking... you have to wait a few seconds and not just start talking the instance they stop. Other then that it works fine.

I used and still do use highlighter tape... doesn’t damage the maps ...helps when in planning and in flight

This is the one I have... great, easy to strap and doesn’t get in the way

Well just an add on... I was at Moorabin on Thursday. The landing and taxi was great....BUT we spent 23 minutes taxing and at a holding point until we got clearance.... wow.

In beautiful downtown AlburyYMAY it's about 3 to 4 mins to run up area and depending on how slow I am we obtain a clearance almost immediately. And on landing straight back to the hangar. Great controllers here in Albury

Incidental costs Hello all, while we on the topic of running costs.......I’m still a couple of years away from looking at buying but I’m keen to find out about the incidental ‘casa’ costs for flying. Other then airport landing fees, if applicable, fuel, insurance what other ‘daily flying costs are there? Are there any? I often go here our cfi make comments.... thanks in anticipation.....

Will be there.... hopefully an interesting couple of days

Thanks... I spoke to a number of people while I was there.... and will give terry and jo a call.... thanks for the heads up

Hi and thanks for the information. Met with Narromine council and they went out of their way. Showed me around town, through the park, what they are doing for future expansion. They have now moved the tourist information to the aircraft museum, upgrading the roads, curb and guttering out there. They have no intention to charge for landings, as they want to encourage avaition. Stage 5 and 6 will come on line next year, so we have decided to buy in Narromine early next year. No time limit to build, so suits us down to the ground. The flood levy will cover the park as well, even though the airport is at a “high point’ of the area and hasn’t flooded since the 50’s. There are pros and cons for both.

Thanks for the information everyone. I have had a number of chats with Phil JOHNSTON from council and meeting with him tomorrow. He has outlined what has happened and what is happening, on the same lines as "jetjr" information above. Will let you know how it goes.

Will halve a good look tonight....thank you

Thank you for the info...... the more I read the more uneasy I get for Narromine......

hi all, looking at buying a block at Temora Airpark... we have the contract, but checking out Narromine this week before we move forward. Checked on flooding and the temora council was great and very helpful. Contacted Narromine Council, they provided all development info but won’t tell me if the airport has flooded. Sooooo I called the Narromine SES and they wouldn’t tell me either. They said it was confidential!!!!?????? And couldn’t tell me. I’m going up this week to door knock and see council......and I’m curious for a look as well. So locals and anyone, has the Narromine airport flooded especially in the last 10 years during the big floods ? My gut feeling is now to stay away from Narromine, but a trip there will be nice :)
