Is this of assistance MARAP-Rotax-05-001 RPT01 lssue 01 Engine Condition Monitoring Program by RAAus?

A couple of bumps that would be welcomed sights.

A guess is maybe a fuel line leak or ruptured fuel tank that leaked fuel into cabin area and ignition on impact??? Don't know just a guess as the discussion is about the fire damage and how it occurred.

How were your base legs; speed on the numbers. Sounds like you have a good instructor he will work on things for you. Hydration and fatigue are a big thing to keep in check. If you don't feel 100% don't continue with flying or circuits; have a break and if good to go fly. Cheers.

They go into wind same as best for gliding is into the direction opposite turn when possible. Birds are smart and efficient watch their V pattern flight. Years ago I tricked an eagle by when in sink and seeing it coming over I turned sharply as if centering a thermal and I was in sinking air. The eagle quickly joined with me and set itself to thermal and immediately started flapping its wings as if it got bogged and was in 4 wheel low getting back up to flying speed. I still smile thinking of that day.

Once they get their certificate will they be able to continue the fly there; most can't continue the access CTA post completing their training.

People directly involved can ask questions and make comment to be considered by the coroner about the circumstance and then the coroner will decide if he will seek information about it to assist him in his finding.

My understanding is that the 'G' aircraft are maintained by LAME and if applicable by the owner / builder of the 'G' aircraft so long as the owner did build the aircraft and has the appropriate maintenance qualification. An example would be a kit aircraft that is bought after being built by another would need to be maintained by a LAME or another authorised person (RAA to advise such in the near future and won't be any of the current L1, 2 or 4's; unless they do further training and qualification / experience.) Sounds safe and fair to me.

. May be this, I don't know for sure.

They will have to do time with an RAA instructor to get a pilot certificate; in late March they will start process of ratifying the instructors and guess they will need to do such in a 'G' aircraft??? If they accept a recognition of the GA license then they would have to limit to above 600kg.

I reckon there will be RAA pilots who cruise through getting the endorsement; at the end of the day its gaining the qualification and then good airmanship. I know a few GA pilots who are uncomfortable in controlled airspace. I'll get it when available and meet the requirements.

Be interested to know how many aircraft have rego allocated to them and how many are in current rego. I did read recently where RAA is contacting all aircraft owners with expired registration to ascertain their plans forward (plan to become airworthy or never to fly again),

Absolutely agree, No real difference in annual membership costs etc; so why change will be their consideration. Some may change and if CASA alter their medical requirement to similar to the UK / USA etc then they may change back.

Yes; I'm very surprised you do not know this fact already.

Medical standard would be first on the list and not much more.

Sad one.

Ian Thanks for the great forum and look forward to the new version. Like Ibob and I'm sure most others will the forum posts still be viewable, if not is there a way of saving the topics especially the aircraft topics so people can retain a copy? Best regards Mike

On Bush Flyers Downunder (Facelokk) (Book) they are saying performed touch and go just before incident and also have some flight aware data images posted and seems maybe an engine failure type contributing factor. Not conformed of course and posted to be somewhat helpful.

Saying 3 minutes into flight after taking off. Terrible; condolences to all involved.

Agree, must be right on TDC otherwise will drive piston down and direction will be relative to before or after TDC. I have passed on info to Bill.

There is an LS powered motor bike in Mackay. I'll did up an image.

Look at the features on the E2A-1000 at Aircraft spruce, I have that one and made a 1/2” by about 300 mm pipe rather than the flexible hose connection into the spark plug thread in head. Works a treat. I recommend the need for the valve after the gauge for available pressure so you can turn on to get slight flow of air to confirm at TDC on compression stroke. Then open for full pressure adjusted for 80 psi or maybe 87 your choice. Such worth the extra bit of money.

Many have them Jabiru, Bristelle have electric flap; Svannah's have electric trim. Very common.
