Yea, “bums on seats” does sound like a good thread and idea. Also so many people that used to but can’t fly for what ever reason or even sharing the cost of longer trip with a fellow pilot just to get out to places you wouldn’t normally go to would be awesome. I guess the challenge is possibly just building the connections with people and making sure that people don’t just flake out on trips.

Sorry to hear that Clinton the 182 would have been an awesome plane to own. It is 100x better when you can share the experience or even just have someone to chat to on the trips. I love doing visits so small SEQ towns but it’s a bit slow when it’s just yourself.

Just wondering if fellow aviators find it hard to fill the Copilot/passenger seats in their recreational flying. I have been flying for some time and struggled to find a good social group and networking. May be a reflection on myself but I have heard aviation can sometimes be a solo adventure. Just wondering how others find it?

I think you can get the NAV without controlled airspace but you do need the radio endorsement which basically comes with your RAA training. The english test i believe is needed for controlled airspace. Cost is all relative as flying is all competency based. I did RPC in 20.5 Hours (i think 20 is min). Navs i have done 2x with instructor 1x solo and now up to the flight test each averages around 3-4 hours but depends on school and location. Each hour is about $230ph (i won't add it up i don't want to know) Can rent for as low as $189ph endorsements Radio, Pax, NW, HF With the hours above though i have seen people do it quicker and others do it much slower due to competency. But the trick is don't count the total cost like any hobby you do it slowly and fly because you enjoy and don't count the $$$

Ive Just done my second nav so by no means a master. I find a combination of time and visual reference helps. I write the sequence of frequencies in the margin of the plan as they would come based on your. Trip. it Is also a good way of knowing what to set the next frequency too. Then just use time and visual references on your chart to know.

The organisers should at least refund the portion of the ticket that would have contributed to the raffle. Whats that saying they drum in to us all “Failure to plan is planning to fail”. There possibly should have been more contingencies in the event organisation.
