I imagine one day doing Victor 1 with all the ADSB aircraft on the EFB and sweating a bit.

Hi FolksI can categorically state that we (as I run AvPlan EFB) have no issues and have never had an issue with sharing traffic data (google it and you will see statements from me to that effect in other forums). When I heard that OzRunways were recently saying that we didn't and they did want to share I again approached them. I have received no reply to that message in over 4 weeks.

When litigation "a$$ covering" apparently comes ahead of "Safety" which is CASA's prime focus (according to their founding Act of Parliament), their (in)actions speak louder than their words.

You need a log in, can't remember if it's free.

You can view both traffic on their websites, pity we can't just aggregate the data ourselves. I've done that before. Run Avplan and have Ozrunways in safari running and flick between the 2 now and then.

Anyone know if the OzRunways page on ADS-Pi is still up? All the links I use just take me to the homepage

The Dynon Skyview can have a camera attached so you don't need a seperate display.

ya know what, I always thought that a tail dragger with a forward vision problem would benefit significantly by having a little camera mounted under the nose of the aircraftyou could feed the video back to a drop down tablet for reference while on the ground, and then fold it up and record the flight onto the tablet for future viewing - it ain't rocket surgery, folks...

this stuff is available for FPV options for drones and does not cost a lot, and it's not all that difficult to set up...after a few grubs were seen checking out houses in our street I popped a camera inside my letterbox that transmits to the house for under $50 - records vehicle details and number plates perfectly and nobody even knows it's there...

Thanks for this, will take a look

I’m pretty sure you’re obliged to report this matter to the ATSB.Aviation accident or incident notification form

Like this photo? The GoPro was flat :(

There are quite a few aerodromes where x country aircraft fly through at circuit height. It's a really dangerous practice. They apparently don't know where these aerodromes are (or don't care). An aircraft climbing to turn crosswind or depart won't see over the nose particularly well. On prolonged climbs one is meant to lower the nose periodically. To make any turn one should clear the area you will turn into visually. Skidding the plane and looking to the rear was once a common practice prior to turning.. Are we too casual ? Nev

I had the closest call I've ever had last year with an aircraft overflying the airfield at circuit height. I was climbing to circuit height after a touch and go and dipped the nose getting ready to turn downwind and there was the aircraft. No radio calls, nothing. RAAUS didn't do anything and I did some research and found which aircraft it was, told RAAUS and they forwarded it to CASA and still have heard nothing.

It could have been a training flight but if something was done, maybe that person would know in the future just how close I was to making the news.

I was the same though by the time I finished my certificate they had a 2nd aircraft which I could hire. I only rang one place to start learning.

I have a flight line in my aircraft, it doesn't have a monitor freq and Jabiru put it in because the were having difficulties with the Dynon Skyview and noise with the Microair. I find it hard to read at times and wish I had a monitor frequency.

Your link is missing the m in .com but it looks to be taken down now anyway. How did you know it was a scam?

Just did my BFR on Saturday and it's a reminder of the need to keep up the training, not just every 2 years. My execution was still good but not quite rote.

That was definitely worth watching.

Very nice flying.

I have done that in the past. The vid tends to get a big long if I show the start up as well because it takes about 60-90 seconds. Here's a nice vid of a big F14 starting up.

 

Is it possible to show the start up sequence when you do your videos please? I enjoy when these turbines or large scale start up. Also love watching the landings.

Didn't they try with the VFR Guide though useful, need to apply the RAAUS rules on top of this.

It would still be a good idea to have user( pilot ) friendly UNAMBIGUOUS operating rules. Even check captains don't understand CASR's. They are too legalistic and were not intended to be used directly at the coalface (so to speak).A format such as.... Before you fly your U/L, across Australia, you should be familiar with A,B ,C .... Common errors occur with X, Y, Z,. It's not as easy as it should be to understand. Explain the thought music behind some of the rules. More work should be done there . Facilitate rather than just regulate. It's not for some to know and others just find out by something like luck. Nev

There was another strange night flight over the city quite a few years ago. Hardly anyone noticed and it wasn't challenged. It even flew under the Harbour Bridge before heading back out to sea, where five big mother subs were awaiting it's return.

I heard it as well, I'm near Haberfield and it felt like it was directly over the top. Saw on an app saying it was a Cessna 206 but that's all. Was up there for about an hour. I saw something like this flying the same area on a Saturday afternoon a few weeks ago doing steep turns. I thought it was weird since it's restricted airspace and when it went the planes started coming in again for Sydney Airport. Must be some sort of surveillance.

So by CASA rep point of view a non radio aircraft would be the safest? but they cant enter CTAF-R??That is unless all aircraft ADSB out fitted...........unless GPS fails or signal disturbed.

Must be chaos inside CTA?

 

Theres a low level cut off in Oz R - shouldnt do that
