  2. YBUY is Bunyan airfield, owned by the Canberra Gliding Club. https://nls264.wixsite.com/canberra-gliding Suggest you contact them prior for permission to land, but don't be surprised if permission is refused. Bill
  3. Security requirements for pilots - ASIC or AVID - see below. I have an AVID only because it "ticks the box" when I do my GA BFR. https://www.casa.gov.au/operations-safety-and-travel/aviation-safety-and-security-pilots/security-requirements-pilots
  4. I think the requirement for all licenced pilots (including students) is to have an AVID card. AFAIK the ASIC is only required for pilots who regularly fly into security controlled aerodromes. An AVID is issued by CASA, following a background security check.
  5. Three years ago AOPA were about to tackle this issue. https://aopa.com.au/the-battle-over-asic-cards-begins/ I'm not a member of AOPA & am not aware if this is still being actively pursued.

    Schneider ES-56 Nymph

    Sorry Red - can't help with photo's. And, apart from perhaps Wikipedia, I don't know of any web pages where you can source these. Regards, Bill

    Schneider ES-56 Nymph

    I think Photo 1 is a Bocian? Photo 2 a Slingsby Dart? (Neiher of these built by Edmund Schneider). Photo 3 is an ES Nymph.

    Schneider ES-52 Kookaburra

    Thanks Red. The descriptive info is accurate. Several of the photo's for the ES Nymph have come up incorrectly too. But what you're doing provides a valuable data source - keep it up.

    Schneider ES-52 Kookaburra

    Photo's 2 & 3 are short wing Kookaburras. Photo 1 is an ES Arrow, photo 4, maybe a Grunau Baby?
  10. How do you determine whether "the airport has Existing Use Rights under the Planning Sheme"? Thanks, Bill
  11. Re the third place getters. They actually flew an RF-5 Sperber (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fournier_RF-5). During WW2 Werner Geisler flew with the Luftwaffe (109's?) and Dennis Mathews with the RAF (Typhoons).
  12. I'm interested Skip. Where do I buy them in OZ? Thanks, Bill
  13. ARO said (1B) Subregulations (1) and (1A) do not apply to prevent a member of the crew having temporary access to: (a) any part of the aircraft for the purpose of executing repairs or adjustments to the aircraft or its equipment because you wouldn't want to make a rule that would stop people climbing on the wing or undercarriage to make repairs or adjustments in flight! Then this looks like it's legal, per Subsection (1B) https://www.facebook.com/warbirdexperienceUK/videos/1231273420648581
  14. I think Dick Smith is off John Anderson's Christmas Card list ! https://aopa.com.au/dick-smith-issues-open-letter-to-former-aviation-minister-mr-john-anderson/
  15. Questions please: Old Koreehla - what brand of epoxy did you coat your prop with & what brand - type did you spray (aeorosol?) it with? And Markdun - what brand of epoxy did you use to glue the laminates. Thanks, Bill
