According to news sources, it was reported to the authorities that up to 6 people were onboard, creating a

As well intentioned as the local cop may have been, he probably dosen't have the knowledge that most of us here do

That reg matches the debris. :(

RIP and condolences to family and friends.

PDF would be nice - can then chuck it on my tablet and read it on the train. :)

Now that the "last flight review" is on the RA-Aus certificate, hopefully we don't need that extra paperwork to carry around. ?

Time for me to get a jet endorsement.

This thread is making me homesick.

Just started flying at Lilydale - same situation as you - moved to Melbourne after getting my Pilot Cert, but nothing else yet.

Lilydale Flying School gives an excellent pack to get you going with airport diagrams, checklists, brochures, etc. Their instructors are friendly and the facility has a nice atmosphere. Depending on what aircraft you've flown so far - (for RA-Aus) they fly Jabirus and a Eurofox. A very short distance away, there's Coldstream, which flies (for Ra-Aus) a Tecnam P92.

You could always go to Officeworks and print it yourself:

Our Ops Manual is 78 pages @ 0.07c / page = $5.46 + binding (I like coil - but not good for updates) $3.80

= $9.27.

Back on topic - anyone know the condition of the pilot?

That was pretty stupid.

Great vid! TCAS would have been going crazy!

Love it - well done!

A terrible loss of a great man at a young age. Thoughts are with his family, friends and the many who never met him but are saddened by this terrible event.

Thank you!!!

I fear that the "Happening behind the Scenes" is Jabiru wriggling off the reliability requirement hook, You could be forgiven if you thought that CASA showed a big stick to Ja. and Ja. said briefly "hit me with that and I'll not play" To which CASA would have replied " All right then, go out and play but promise you wont don't ever do it again!" With that what happened in the past will continue to happen going forward...... (god I hate buzz words)

From a GA back-ground around YCAB, I can advise the following:

• go to http://caboolturerecreationalaviation.com.au to fly in Jabs / Foxbat, etc. I did my tailwheel in a cub L4 for my tailwheel endo and awesome training, especially if moving to from GA to RAA
   
   
   
  
• go to http://www.goflyaviation.com.au for RAA training... all with Rotax engines and mix of A/C and awesome staff.. best way to complete your RAA certificate... most with colour lcd screens nowadays..
   
   
   
  
• go to http://www.aerodynamic.com.au for GA training.. will take you all the way to ATPL and beyond if your wallet is happy. Again great staff and Brian knows his stuff. Fleet is aging though.
   
   
  

 

 

Cheers, Matt

+1 - great flight school. Got up to solo standard before I moved interstate. Great school with a very friendly atmosphere.

<snip!!>There have been far too many issues ongoing, and not rectified. Jab wash their hands of an overhauled engine after 1 month, and of a brand new engine after 2 months!!! 2 months?????? Ridiculous! Finally something is being done about attempting to have this factory pony up and accept responsibility!

Where has Ungermann been these last 3 years? Why hasn't he been talking to Rod & Co & working with Jab to resolve these issues.<snip!>

Given the way the proposed instrument is written, you possibly can fly at Bankstown/Archerfield but only within gliding distance of somewhere to land where there are no people. So probably just circuits...And with no passengers although you may arguably be able to take another qualified pilot. Student pilots specifically are not allowed solo.

My last flight? BFR in December '13. Moved interstate and haven't had the time or money since! I expect to be back in the air by the end of this December. :)

Got mine too - and will be "re-joining" in the not to distant future... :)

60 minutes has about 30 seconds of intelligence these days - and that is one of the commercials.
