Airacomet?

So this is the latest ABC story on the app...

 

4 million people have downloaded it before they have finalised just who or how access to the data will be granted? Niiiice.....

Hey it's Australia, worlds best practice remember!? We are a third world country sometimes with a first world facade!?

In all Company manuals you MUST act on a GPWS warning. Nev

That's true unless it's a spurious warning and it's obvious of which happens at times. Reminds me of TE 901, imagine the surprise Collins and his crew got when they heard those words 'pull up'!

Listening to the CVR it reads like a couple of amateurs are using a desk top flight SM! They get "pull up" warnings and don't even flinch! As professional pilots know the last line of defence IS the pilot!

No one gets a clearance to 400', that's unheard of! A decent pilot would have questioned that cause it doesn't even make sense?

No mumbling there I reckon but we are talking about HF!

Yeah got that email this morning. I sure dodged a bullet there! I was just in the throws of looking into hire vans, Accomm and air fairs etc when the first rumblings started about the hysteria we where in for! Maybe next year but after this mess who knows?

Too many Public Servants seem to have forgotten that they are there to

Serve The Public- not be served by them.

Too true but the over arching words " in the publics best interest" seems to give them carte blanch right or wrong!

Sometimes money fixes everything?

I see two choices, you either download the App or you don't, it's volentary , no one has to explain why or why not, this is not a communist country!

You guys are scaring me I don't think I'll get back in another plane, just too risky??

That's why I like free turbines? I recall the Metro of Tamair's going in at Tamworth in the 90's, similar deal and it was at night, very risky! Pilot error on so many counts!

They do fly!

 

That's seriously ugly!?

Rego expired better fix that?iPad mini is all you really need mounted where it's simply convenient. I also use a knee strap to hold mine in some A/C, gives me a writing platform at the same time?

No real hard and fast rule toy planes are in a world of their own. Scale toy planes are only in looks/size but nothing else so you can get pretty much anything to fly, given a if gee gee's?

How could you have an instructor and student in a plane and maintain the social distancing rule? Our flying club has effectively ceased all training until this shite is over.

Our club has also ceased training (that's a club decision nothing else) but it's not illegal to still conduct training, (education) often see training AC out and about.

Downloading the app = endorsing Scomo's lies (to me). So, no.

Well said!?its about choice, not dictatorship!

Turbo - given it was stated to be his opinion your reply in my opinion comes close to attacking the poster by implication rather than the topic.

Yes that was dissapointing to get that response but am not surprised sadly ?

There are always numerous Jabs on the market, they seem to have a bit of a turnover, wonder why?

Like I said guys personel choice, twist it how you like to suit your agenda! Oh by the way I'm not the only one who won't sgn up to it cause it's voluntary and neither will millions of others, funny about that!

Personel choice, I don't trust the Govt so pass!

It is amazing what there is that you didn't know existed. You can even get 12 volt pumps for $30.00. That Whitworths item is cheap but the $17.00 post charge makes it more expensive than from Ebay at $30.00 delivered.

Yes I looked at that pump but postage made it uneconomical.

Even Mr Boeing is in a world of hurt at the moment with its Max! That was an out of trim problem (in simple terms).

Good point Flight, the setup would need a disconnect which was quick and easy, just to avoid that. Or it would just work on the trims like downunder shows.

I had a stabilator trim tab jam pretty much full up giving me full down effect on a PA32, was bloody hard keeping the plane level!

I just typed in the brand name show on Ebay, that's all that popped up! No aviation outlet.
