Where to they vent once deployed? I was wondering where these BRS vent once fired? If your cockpit is enclosed I'd guess you would get a nasty dose of some pretty toxic fumes. Much safer if they vented outside the cockpit. Just my thoughts.

Good Luck Darky, you'd have my vote if I lived in Vic.

Hi Liam, Brett Soutter is the CFI I'm doing my training through. Let me know when you start back in the new year. Hopefully the weather will allow us more opportunities to sting some hours together. How did you go with circuits? regards Jim W.

Hi Skydog, Winds are running through to last light. My instructor is also surprised with these ongoing patterns and said as you mentioned that there should be a window of opportunity in the late afternoon. Unfortunately is just not happening at present. I hope it improves as I have only flown 1.5 hours in the last 3 weeks which makes it difficult to bring it all together as far as circuits are concerned. Cheers Jim

Hi Everyone, I'm very new to flying and still in the process of obtaining my licence through a flying school at the Gympie Airfield. I'm up to circuits but the ongoing dry, hot windy conditions are wreaking havoc on my progress. The winds starts before 6 am and builds quickly into blustery crosswinds. Apart from the weather I am in love with flying and hope to go solo in the not to distant future (weather and skill level permitting). regards Jim.
