    Mt Beauty is in a valley surrounded by higher terrain. "Mr Bland also recalled that Tawonga Gap was in cloud. The lookout at Tawonga Gap is approximately 550 metres (1,800 ft) above Mount Beauty airport. Reference to these landmarks supports the lower end of the range of Mr Bland’s estimated height of the cloud base and I am satisfied the lower height of 2,000 ft “at best” is more likely. " The coroners report is pretty damning of RAAus

    Video is now private, I'm guessing he received some negative feedback

    Pretty sure Floods uses Lilydale airport for it's maintenance base

    Thanks, I have contacted them to enquire about taking part.

    Who was the email from? I'd be keen to take part in the Rotax maintenance course

    According to the NTSB report the tail rotor hit the ground causing it to break off. If you read the NTSB report, CEN25LA031, there is a fair bit of detail. No need to guess

    1 minor injury according to the NTSB report. Lucky no one got hit by the shrapnel

    It's real, unless NTSB are investigating AI accidents now A wider angle here

    As the owner of a 10 reg plane I forget the hoops others have to leap through

    I like the look of these for extra fuel if your aircraft has somewhere to mount them. https://www.aircraftspruce.com.au/catalog/eppages/ultralighttank05-12347.php 10 gallons if you can mount two and no extra fuel in the cockpit.

    Thanks for sharing the video, a great watch

    Looks great, did you paint it yourself?

    That site doesn't work for me, must be why I can't find the stories 😉

    He may have held a Low Level Endorsement in which case he could have legally flown under 500ft AGL https://raaus.com.au/learn-to-fly/endorsements/low-level/

    Are you trying to imply there is racism because of the positioning of the staff,? That's a pretty big accusation

    I have been on Starlink for a couple of years now. Not the cheapest option but the only usable option in my area. Downloads in the 200s and uploads in the teens are the norm, my wife and I can both be in video calls with 2 kids playing online games and it doesn't miss a beat. Had a couple of dropouts but it is uncommon

    Financial mismanagement by the RAA should not be the reason for not allowing a FAA part 103 style regulation in Australia. It's disappointing that most pilot's I speak to have nothing positive to say about their interactions with the RAA or the path RAA have chosen moving forward. It also seems crazy that RAA aircraft rego is more expensive than VH Reg

    Given their website has had no content updated since Feb 2020 including meeting dates, advocacy and the digital version of their magazine it would appear they are no longer operating.

    A majority of the people I speak to are not happy with the way RAAus is running the recreational side of flying. Is there enough interest to get people pushing for it again? Surely with the right lobbying there would be a chance of getting it accepted by CASA.

    Part 103 in America is run by the FAA, no reason CASA couldn't do the same thing. I don't see that we need another organisation, RAA certainly seems to have forgotten the rag and tube light weight aircraft that have no interest in flying in controlled airspace.

    They quote a finished price of $34k USD ready to fly with a Polini on the website, seems pretty cheap to me. Quick build kit is $22k with a 100% finished airframe...
  24. T510
    Is it up to RAA to decide if we get P103 type regs, isn't that on CASA to determine if it is appropriate? Will be interesting to see what the new CASA GA workplan outlines when it is released.

    I wouldn't pay for Sportpilot if I had the choice. Boring articles written badly and incorrect technical information, it makes it hard work to read it at all.
