Area-51

OzRunways can show you if you are going to hit a mountain... you can keep watching the screen which will also confirm its accuracy as well! 😕

When an ASIC application is presented there must be evidence of physical existence provided. These have different levels of veracity; a birth certificate is very veracious evidence... a library card is not so veracious but enough to establish an individual's existence within the community as to is an ASIC card; but only if it is valid. If it is an expired card it cannot be acknowledged as veracious and cannot be presented as proof of veracity when applying for an ASIC

Its important to use the correct terminology; "weather" is no longer valid word; its now all referred to as "global warming" 🐖

Will Boeing be taking over RaAus? ☹️

Sure glad I can use a pencil map compass and timepiece!! So what other electronic options are there remaining 🤷🏼‍♂️

This is a no brainer... just take out the passenger seat before registration or transfer... 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Maybe with this latest exciting and new development Tesla will now buy BOEING 🤔🤔

Yes, the doors may surely fall off, and the inflight service levels may become MIA... Should not be so negative; on the up n up subscription fees will rise! "MAMA MIA, OZA RUN AWAYAS 🤦🏼‍♀️🙆🏽"

Let's up the game and go straight to "Apocalyptic Fire Danger", or, "Apocalyptic Storm Conditions"... We don't want the population wandering around taking photos or trying to help. Got to scare them back into the basements and sports stadiums... gone off topic again...

Looks great!

I think its a good idea, so long as it provides a non discriminating approach to a majority of the community. This would require a box to tick related to "psychiatric self assessment" ("do you suffer from a psychiatric condition?"); the bureaucrat is completely absolved from all and any level of accountability. And the insurance companies are also absolved then from any requirement to payout other than at their discretion. Because everyone will tick the "No" box. Never tick the No box for psychiatric self assessment; its a trick question! Always tick Yes; but only if you are or have ever been married... It's best if you apply and delegate all pilot responsibilities and ownership over to your best mate Bluey, or the wife's cat Kiki. Just buy them an iphone and sign them up to FB and its all done automatically in an instant; ID, chips, national register, homeland security, canine Boat-Drone-N-Ute license; eazy peazy...

Let's just go with "Aliens from out of space with ray guns" as official cause.

Its an ok video; too much talking, watched it a few years ago... the final advice about setting wings level come back for another go when you got your composure back was probably the key take away here. There was some superficial mention of stall and yaw, and loading the wing up. "Risk has no memory" is another great take away. Also, suggestion to go get more training if you feel uncomfortable is another key take away. Unfortunately no mention is made regarding knowing where the stick stall position is; which is the single most critical must have for any pilot wanting to avoid spins in any fixed wing aircraft. If the video opened with that statement it would probably actually make an impact and save lives. I will disagree on the premise toward smooth and steady flying; balanced flying would probably be a better concept to present. I get where he is coming from when he says "smooth and steady" however it is misleading and totally incorrect. Any slow uncoordinated skid or slip turn can feel joyfully smooth and steady right up to the second the tin can suddenly flips over and heads toward the dirt.

Approval or Authorisation must mean that only pilots holding a current pilot license and medical in a registered aircraft with a maintenance release. All other aircraft and pilots will have to pay $1500

Manufacturer could install "multiball" or "tilt" annunciator panel light to make things exciting!

Maybe this will attract hoards of left and right activists to intentionally use their allocated discretionary C150 hours to practice joining midfield all morning and all afternoon with a four postcode extended downwind complete with 501' low pass breakout of a missed approach on three mile final... guess The State will just have to pay 🤷🏼‍♂️

As soon as i call joining circuit that has been counted as a landing fee. Low pass, landing fee. T&G, landing fee... If i call flying overhead, no landing fee. Maybe anything under 500' overhead airfield they can charge? Interesting situation...

Regarding craft stability in winds and gusts, the level of stability sensors and software on even the most basic drone is far ahead of anything in the GA world and control response times and correction inputs are far ahead of most human ability. It depends upon type of flight controller and array of sensors that are employed; without them the craft is uncontrollable and unstable. To put things in perspective, an industrial level drone will have triple layer isolated redundancy for its main frame and generally minimum dual redundancy on GNSS, Lidar, Infrared, Ultrasonic Sensors, Baro, Airspeed, Gyro, Magnometer, 5G Video Broadcast to name a few Add ADSB in/out or FLARM to that platform and throw a big lump of live meat into the scene there is little for the human to actually do other than push a button for "Destination" and enjoy the view, or freak out at which point they can press "Panic" and the craft will land and the live meat sack can spew their guts out on the ground. I am doubtful we will see these craft buzzing around. They will be fairly limited in range until micro nuclear batteries are made available, outlandishly loud and intrusive; more so than a jetski; and the risk assessment attached will just not be acceptable to insurance companies without super high premium costs. And to be really honest there is just no use case for them when it comes to human centric transport. Finally how will the aviation bureaucrat deal with "big drones" being used by terrorists to carry out fresh forays into activities aimed at bolstering their social media channels and staunchly defended acceptance on university campuses? Sorry gone off topic again... let's refocus and wind things up with a conclusion.... "It will be fun" "Human Factor" push one of two buttons; that will be where the administration, insurance companies, and lawyers will have to arrive.

Cessna 🤔🤔🤔 maybe he was a farmer moving a load of phosphate and drums of diesel to his other farm 🤔

$11mil??? Couldn't he just buy a train set like normal crazy people 😕

Was Rotax using 518 before changing to 5910?

Thanks already done that; 574 reads as the better performer over 518 for use on alloy components and petrol exposure, ie oil contamination from compression blow by

Thanks; Permatex has been around and used for decades; quite familiar with it.

If all aircraft were fitted with an autoexplode function that a person in a box (of gender neutral nature) activated remotely, we would not need the asic security platform. Bad actors could be discreetly eliminated remotely and instantly by trained air traffic personnel. The need to check each asic applicant along with the risk of bad actors remaining unidentified by the current platform would be 100% negated. The identification of bad actors would be immediate, and strategically 100% safe and effective. A change in how this current regime is administered would provide a broad base incentive for bad persons (including those of gender neutral identity) to "not" use aircraft for traditional nefarious matters of religiously related sectorial and or ideological ill intent. The current industry platform name could remain as people are now used to it and already broadly identify with the acronym.

Has anybody had first hand experience using Loctite 574 sealing crankcase halves? What were the long term results? Doesn't have to be Rotax engines; any engine type is relative; motorcycle, porsche etc... Thanks..
