Negative ! I called and spoke to them again and they confirmed 100% that as I'm not the builder. I'm not allowed to do any training, nor type endorsement in the my Highlander. How silly is THAT ! Surely, its the safest way to get me comfortable in my own plane.

why not train on your highlander mate?

All you have to do s google maps 'orlampa' Ross :)

How did I not know about this

Do patents 'expire' after a certain time period?

For an aviation example.. Piper Cub/supercub

There are numerous examples produced by an equal amount of companies.

And also, say for software, and again to use aviation as an example..

An ipad app for navigation, with georeferenced charts. Common in the US of A for a while, and we have only just gotten them (thanks to God and Bas Scheffers) in the form of OzRunways. Soooo.... its not the general idea that is patented/copyright, but rather the execution, and the way it is done?

I flew into Moruya, wrote the code on my hand, went to the loo, washed my hands...bugger!!! A CPL helped out and i made it back to YOAS 20 mins before last light. a great flight on a great day but I will take an indelible marker with me next XC because sometimes you relly have to go to the loo.

camera phone mate :)

"can't" is very subjective... i've seen a lot of 'unstealable' cars get stolen.

like a charm mate..

if you want mate, send it to me, and i'll put it on a rapidgator or similar account

Just go to https://www.dropbox.com/ and create an account, and then share the link on here. That way we can all download it without putting our email addresses up on here.

Put it in a dropbox and post the address... easier and safer for all

We have a member from Dongara, where the pilot was from... I selfishly hope it was not him.

There's a placard on my plane (RAAus has a photo of it) that says the plane is not required to comply with normal airworthiness standards. Is CASA regulation 21.M applicable to 95.55 aircraft? What about 95.10 aircraft?

yes exactly what I was wondering

next email you get there is an unsubscribe link down the bottom

....The problem still remains with the 90% of RAA members that have not even the slightest wish to see the RAA succeed.

The above statement I dont believe to be true. What are you basing this on mate?

Welcome to the site mate. where do you fly from?

G'day mate.i fly out of palmyra, renting the schools sav where I did my cert. unfortunate there is no hangarage available there, all full of big shiny GA typed that get little use. there is an rv9 and hangar for sale if you have 140k though.

Yep they are clever so and so's. I watched "Parker" last night. Jewel thievery and what not.the unbelievable part is 'hotwiring' brand new transponder equipped cars in less then 2 seconds. Not. Possible.

Other then that pretty good movie.

woulda been good for the aviators around if they knew... especially if it was sold at american mogas prices
