I heard from a friend that caravans and soon boats will only be covered by insurance if there fitting is supported by an approved installation certificate. This will no doubt affect aircraft that are retro fitted with a lithium battery. Likely due to the increased fires.

Absolutely agree. And don’t want shoddy cheap work.

Also on Rotax run on avgas don’t miss cleaning bottom of oil can. That is where the lead stuff collects so at service do the full job and open up and clean the oil can. Here also that lead the Decline removes is deposited on the inside of the exhaust piping.

Landing not over power line end? Good to hear you had fun, be solo in short time. Cheers.

Good to have strobes and landing light. Also good for early winter taxiing as can see the ground ahead a little. Sort the hash. Emu Park landing DSCN7899.MOV Emu Park landing DSCN7899.MOV

Thanks Turbo as I had not seen or heard that and I will be meeting up with Rogin in near future.

Turbo is this fact or fiction as I don't recall reading that statement by Rogin.

Agree, thanks T88.

Here is a Nynja visiting upcountry North Queensland style. https://youtu.be/EmejK3jQHVw

Yes write off, only very few parts could be reused. It did not flip. Owner thought they may not get out the doors.

They got it out the next day. Not sure what he intends to do with it. Both are ok. said could not open doors until cockpit almost flooded. Same as car doors that won't open until filled.

Around that time pilot would have been iding the on ground features for the track run.

Hi Mark. Have no specific info of any of the contributing factors. When I hear I'll post. Cheers

No not from Mackay. Never been based at Mackay. Local to area North of Mackay.

I have Aveo strobes and landing very good kit. Emu Park landing DSCN7899.MOV

Earlier video was down hill. The aborted landing before was due to approaching and looking for airfield and being just before sundown so up a little high. Had over flown the airfield a few days before so had a ruf idea where it was. When seen descended and had speed on about 70 kts; plan was to do a greaser, its grass and up hill so will scrub off speed quick. Missed the grease on bounced and went around. Got my shit together and maintained speed etc for next landing. Note to self was should have taken more time first time and did a three leg circuit not straight in. Sundown was in 10 minutes so that was a pressure. As luck had it a mate videoed both landings and they are a treasure to me (how to do it and not do it:)) My most recent bfr instructor was also present watching so had a debrief chat with him about excess speed above normal approach and any bounce will see you floating. We were a group half way home from a flyin. Hope you have a laugh at my crap attempt at landing. Cheers. 1220567561_EmuParkabortedlandingDSCN7897.MOV

Also I have seen small bright strobes for rescue, like marine and hiking to mark your location and there are net light for fishing net marking that are not real dear to buy.

One constant to some extent would be the track for the formations parallel to the crowd line standing back away from the track and this is the area of air the aircraft would be merging around for aspects of the display.

There are good cheap ones on ebay for bikes and very bright both red or white; likely less than $10.

I hope the join at that location was in the pre flight formation briefing and it is a tragic accident, rather than an unplanned / unexpected formation join.

Plus time (eg 10 sec or 20 sec) In marine its like Closest point of approach in 2D.

A Sav hit the water off Conway beach, Proserpine river North Queensland. Both occupants are ok and uninjured. No further accurate details available for publication. at this time

Agree my last two renewals have been VFR Premium

I reckon it would have to change or subscription renewals may favour the brands that include such in the VFR packages.
