Sorry the heading should read 'endorsment'
G'day all,
I'm getting my Aerochute back next week, all fixed up as NEW from the factory. So will be in the skys around Wandin and the Yarra Valley soon.
I've just ordered a radio online today, got an Icom with the VOR feature, should be pretty good.
I don't have my RaAus radio endorsment yet, I will do that sometime soon at Coldstream, but I used to fly GA so understand basics.
I'm not wanting to make lots of calls and won't be flying cross country in the Aerochute, but being a busy enough area with 2 CTAFs close by want to keeep a listening watch.
Questions:
Is the radio endorsment a big deal to get?
For anyone in the area, is most traffic using the CTAF 119.1 or Melbourne Radar or Melbourne centre frequencies? I am right on the edge of all these???
Thanks for your help.
Steve
Also, I wonder about the idea of having threads for people wanting to know specific info for particular areas.
