40 years experience on motorcycles, never used an active heater (chest, hands or feet). Keep your core warm - jacket/vest. Needs a layer to break the wind then a layer under that to hold the air. For feet I earlier mentioned waterproof ankle boots. This is cause most runners/ankle boots now are ventilated and a waterproof layer stops the wind. White cotton sports socks are a good layer under the ankle boots. Lots of glove options.

Are you sure it wasn't a Boeing Airbus Cessna ?

I have both. I prefer gloves with fingers. The trick is to put the gloves on before your hands get cold.

Not heated just regular motorcycle gear. Generally jackets have a wind and waterproof outer layer with a quilted inner (sometimes removable inner). May be a bit bulky. Some sort of ankle boot, waterproof hiking boots may be fine. Motorcycle gloves are available in a variety of thicknesses. A 'neck sock' is good (used like a scarf). I probably would not bother with pants, just jeans. If you have a friend who rides see if they have any old second hand gear and as new m/c gear is not cheap. Second option; Look at a cheap ski jacket. Normally wind/waterproof even the low priced ones.

Have a look at motorcycling gear. It works well for this.

Agree, but .... Dickhead Donald was voted in by Americans. They knew how stupid he was and voted him in a second time.

I would not expect any instructor to be legally libel for a student lying if it did occur (but who knows). I would expect RPC to RPL plus CTA to be mainly dual anyway. Learn2fly at Canberra seems to be both RAAus and Casa. Anybody have any experience of them ?

Yep. I have read the exemption and I believe a med 5 should be fine (ie the school is legally covered). I am aware of one Bankstown school that refused outright to accept the student and became uncooperative when they tried to discuss it. Does not seem to be an insurance issue.

Planning to convert my RPC to a RPL. Took about an hour to do the online med class 5 course. I would call it a mini Human Factors course, then the declaration and take my money ($10). Took about 10 minutes for the certificate to be emailed to me. Talking to a friend who tried to do the conversation with a Bankstown school and they would not accept the med 5. What has been other peoples experience of GA schools for RPC/RPL conversion ?

Spec wise how does this compare to a Caravan and Kodiaks ?

Maybe this thread; https://www.recreationalflying.com/forums/topic/39852-uncontrolled-airports-which-call-to-make-in-circuits-if-you%E2%80%99re-only-going-to-make-one-call/page/14/#comments

Any way we can lock this thread ? Not going anywhere and not producing any useful information.

Not belittling any death but this is a very small number. Over 20 years ago when I working for an undertaking company approx 60 people per day died in NSW alone.

So they/them ?

This discussion appears to be about ‘what is a good idea/casa requirement when learning to fly’. The actual question asked was ‘who has legal liability and therefore should pay’.
