Maybe lots of them because you do not need an ASIC at Archerfield.

Created by RAA

That is good news Louise. Thanks to Bruce for getting involved to sort this out and let common sense prevail even with CASA involved. (amazing) RAA need to give themselves a good swift uppercut for demanding a photograph of "the MTOW placard amended to 450kg as per type certificate " before renewal would be processed. Why pick a type certificate with a MTOW of 450kg which makes the aircraft ineligible for registration with RAA as it does not comply with their own technical manual as pointed out by thommo in post #9 as well as CAO 95.55 re minimum payload requirements. There are numerous type certificates from ICAO member nations operating these aircraft at 550 and 600kg. Imagine the flow on effect to RAA income if this annual registration circus had progressed further with all Tecnams going to VH rego and the owners then not having to renew their RAA membership. And they were worried about the RPL ! I will personally thank Bruce when I catch up with him at the next Straddie Breakfast. He is a good man to deal with and really looks after his customers and all Tecnam owners. Mick

Not according to the AUF Acceptance Certificate.

Not exactly Louise. That is the Acceptance Certificate issued by the AUF now the RAA Technical Manager at the time as a result of the information supplied by Bruce. It signifies the acceptance by RAA of the aircraft in Australia at a MTOW of 544 kg.

Yes that's right 550kg and restricted to 544kg in Aus

Looks like neither does RAA

If RAA don't have an appropriate certificate it must be amongst the numerous "RAA Lost Files". They themselves (AUF) have issued an Acceptance Certificate for the P92 Super Echo at 544 kg. Here is a copy attached. P92_EchoSuper.pdf P92_EchoSuper.pdf P92_EchoSuper.pdf

CIVIL AVIATION REGULATIONS 1988 PERMISSION TO FLY OVER A PUBLIC GATHERING Regulation 156 of the Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 (the Regulations) provides that an aircraft shall not be flown over any regatta, race meeting or public gathering except with the permission, in writing, of CASA and in accordance with the conditions specified in the permit.

Try Shell at Archerfield. Last carton (12 litres) I got from them was around $130.

I bought a Jeep for $1000 two years ago. 1995 Cherokee Sport with 297000 kM on the clock. Drained and replaced all fluids, oil and filters and it has been my transport from the water taxi to Dunwich Airstrip ever since. Everything works radio, air conditioning and even the warning light when the washer water is low.

How about all those power lines in the pic.

Check that there is a .35mm restrictor in the return line to the tank. Fuel pressure limits are Max 0.4 bar & Min 0.15 bar and normally run around 0.3 bar on a 912uls.

Maj I think that fuel pressure should be 5.8 PSI Maximum............ Mick (flyhi)

Good on you Yenn. Great news mate.......Mick B

I was the same. Expired 16th March and is still 16th March even though I was grounded for a month until it came through on 21st April. 11 months rego for the price of 12.

Got myself a mini a couple of weeks ago too with Oz Runways running on it. Very impressed so far......... Mick

Well that is a significant improvement over the situation a few months ago in March when there was four weeks backlog. Job well done.

Done !

Try a Caravan at the Straddie Aero Club at Dunwich on Stradbroke Island or check out Straddie Sales and Rentals for Cottages at Amity or Point Lookout.

"Incompedence" I thought we got rid of that when Mr Tzzzz departed

Certainly a great weekend at Old Station again this year. Glad to catch up with so many forumites this year and eventually catch up with Maj. The Whitsunday Group had tailwinds on the way home but I was not so fortunate. Departed Old Station for my strip south of MYB Sunday afternoon with 10kts on the nose and from there to DUN on Monday morning it was worse pushing into a 20kt South Easterly and dodging around some showers near Moreton Is. Ah yes it's all great fun and will I be there next year ? YOU BETCHA I WILL !!!

Looks like some weather coming through on Thursday.
