    This was the photo published in The Chronicle relating to the crash, but we all know the lazy media often use file photos these days 😞

    Sadly it’s all true 🙂. Saving Bankstown now would be akin to trying to save the Titanic if it was equiped with bilge pumps from a 12ft tinny😞 Start making plans that don’t include Bankstown…….. The man with the nuts and bolts shop goes and buys a truck, sets it up like the Snap On Tools business model and he travels to various airports flogging his wares. A maintenance facility looks to move to another airport, same as any aviation business and considers NOTHING will change at Bankstown………the ship has sailed and it ain’t coming back 😞 The big time corporates have got what they wanted and it’s the end of an Aviation era, sad but true…….

    Arse is too close to the ground IF the plane does a gear up landing 🙂

    Yes, 4 manufacturers under the FAA FAR Part 103 in the U.S. https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aviation-interests/ultralights/getting-started-in-ultralight-flying/ultralight-manufacturers No category as such in Australia, however I have been referred to our CAO 95.10? that MAY allow unregistered aircraft to fly within the confines of the aircraft owners property, with restrictions? This needs clarification? https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2021L01670

    Every time I mention these types of flying machine to modern aviators, the ‘CASA lovers’ want to shoot me down 😞 Well, it’s coming……my day in the sky with NO registration and NO bullsh1t will happen……it’s on my bucket list. So, the little goody two shoes RA-aus and others will have to lump it. It will probably have to be a night VFR flight at midnight on a full Moon….what fun that would be 🙂

    Well, our peak body better get it right, IF any members make a mistake anywhere, RAaus are quick to call them out 😞

    RA-Aus are our peak body, also our regulators and are always on about Safety which is good, but they need to get up to speed on thorough detailed incident reports that everyone can learn from. Everyone stands to learn 🙂

    One would’ve thought members from the coalface should’ve been included?

    Want to keep the Aviation budget low with minimal instruction cost, and no problem medicals. We need a Foundation Aviation sector for Australia. Just copy FAA FAR Part 103 in its entirety, from the U.S. It just celebrated it 40th anniversary recently.

    We have 3 problems, drivers with no care for others, cars with razor sharp power steering and, cruise controls….

    Now, from what I have heard from a learned source Part 43 may never see the light of day as it has to go through the the Senate and may not make it, the LAMES Guild? may see to it that as a result of their efforts against it?

    Group G will be a winner, but cheap C152s will end as they are snapped up. Some people will take up the challenge and some won’t. Everyone now has a bigger choice 🙂

    I am flat chat as we speak 🙂

    I am totally responsible for my personal medical status, I have been studying Internal medicine for 8 years as a hobby and subscribe to several peer reviewed medical journals. My choice alone…..but it has paid dividends.

    Life everywhere has a risks of premature death, and I personally know of many…….
  23. jackc
    And tens of thousands or more died in that time from alcohol abuse, then there’s Maccas related heart attacks etc etc.

    Let me say for a relative newbie, not very much meant a thing to me……..all the quoting of Part 149, 103 etc etc did not relate. So, MTOW 760 won’t be needed by me as I don’t aspire, it was a revelation for those wanting to go that way though. Tha other things like the Tech Manual amendments etc, never seem to stop, it seems rules are cherry picked from the U.S. and altered? Why? We should just adopt all the U.S. FAA rules completely and where relevant make any small adjustments where required, not butcher their rules for sake of doing so. Now, whilst I am on the soapbox, RAA is all about getting more privileges for the ‘upper end of town’. What about the ‘lower end of town’ where Aviation was the start for many in the past and could be for the future, too? Yes, I bang on about FAA FAR Part 103? The FAA rules for this sector in the U.S. spans a massive four pages……..how simple is that? Or are RAA and others just wanting to wheel the barrow they have. I keep asking AOPA about this and keep getting ignored, well it’s membership renewal time…….Guess what??

    In this case it may be his life and his money will be soon parted……
