    Brisbane airshow this coming weekend 3rd and 4th of July

    2021 BRISBANE AIRSHOW POSTPONED

     

    NEW AIRSHOW DATES

    16th & 17th of OCTOBER 2021

     

    Owing to recent lockdown restrictions beyond our control, it is with deep regret that we must announce that the Brisbane Airshow, due to take place at the Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield over the coming weekend of the 3rd and 4th of July 2021, has been postponed.

     

    Based on these restrictions and our commitment to deliver a safe Airshow, the event has been postponed to the weekend of the 16th and 17th of OCTOBER 2021.

     

    Government imposed COVID lockdown restrictions, designed to reduce the increasing risk of the Delta and Alpha variants of COVID, now prevents key flight crew, Aviation Expo, Display Aircraft, and patrons from attending the show. This directly affects our ability to deliver a safe airshow. 

     

    The aggressive nature of the COVID Delta variant and the inevitable disruption to this weekend’s event schedule, has moved us to adopt a stance which supports our community’s health and our commitment to deliver a quality Airshow.

     

    PLEASE JOIN FORCES WITH US, POSTPONE and GET A JAB

     

    COVID requires a collective response. Please ‘roll’ with us to the 16th and 17th of October 2021 and enjoy one of Australia’s finest Airshows, where we will be better placed to deliver a healthier, safer, wider immunised airshow.

     

    We want to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, patrons, suppliers, and aeronautical fans for their contribution to the Brisbane Airshow. Without your support the show simply could not go on.

     

    The postponement options available to you are as follows:

     

    • Keep your current ticket and turn up on the corresponding dates in OCTOBER 2021, or

    • Apply for a refund.

    Autistic/Aspergers Pilots

    in AUS/NZ General Discussion

    So it turns out im Autistic. I went solo back in 2012 but it took a lot of training to get that far. I ran outta money to finish my certificate but I'm in a better financial position and want to get back into it. I've since been diagnosed and I know why I had trouble with some parts of learning to fly.

     

    Is there any other Aspie pilots out there?

     

    Do you have any tips on how to overcome the problems that come with Autism? The two main problems were saying out loud what I was doing to the instructor and the spacial recognition in relation to when to flare.

    RPL is comming... But what's it bringing?

    At the Casa safety seminar they had a small slide show of some up coming changes. One of which was the RPL and it's restrictions. It will be limited to Day VFR, single pax, mtow 1500kg and the drivers licence medical. The pilots who want to 'downgrade' will need to tell casa. The thing is they still need to go to there GP every two year to get a certificate saying there healthy enough to drive. That doesn't sound that bad untill talking afterwards when he said RAA will be getting the GP medical requirement too.

     

     

    OzRunways 2.0 now available!

    Was at a meeting with a couple of CASA staff just now. At the end of it I mentioned my iPhone with OzRunways. Apparently they have decided that it meets the reg for carrying documents - the context of the discussion (and it was only a very brief discussion) was me who is only day VFR - if I was ramp checked then I could tick all those boxes if I showed the required documents on my iPhone.They said that there will be a CAAP on Electronic Flight Bags shortly.

    Tonight when I was at the Archrfield Safety seminar I brought up the subject of Electronic Flight Bags and they said the iPad/iPhone (or android if you like to be different) are classed as "Electronic Chart Depiction" not EFB's. I can't really see the difference but there not approved for navigation etc, only for charts and books, that nomally go in your flight bag???

    Today I walked past the Newsagents I used to get the mag from when I was a 'lurker' so I decided to see if they had the mag yet. I found it there with the newsagents sticker saying they got it in the 10th. I got last months quick because it came with my certificate and tech manual. I think I'd rather have a discount to not get the mag and buy it myself earlier.

     

     

    My First Lesson

    in Student Pilot & Further Learning

    Posted

    Today i went up for my second lesson, before i left home i checked the weather radar which showed that a morning storm had gone past but was all clear behind it. On my way i called Amberly weather which said 9700 overcast but no rain and calm wind. After the prestart we fired it up and started to taxi just as it started to rain... It was really light but we put the plane back in the hangar to wait it out.

     

    We ended up waiting 2 hours for it to clear and by then a nice cross wind had picked-up so we used the 400m cross-strip. We done more work on S&L and 30* turns which was alot harder this time because we were getting blowen around and there was some rough turbulance. Tracking towards landmarks was really fun with the crosswind. Into the wind the GPS was showing 40kn ground speed while the ASI was showing 80kn.

     

    Also while we were waiting i passed my first test on flight radio then proceded to forget the "...Traffic" on my taxi call.
