Have a look at the link above and go down to para 1.5.

As with 95.10 the aircraft must carry a cockpit placard warning that the aircraft is not required to comply with the safety regulations for standard aircraft and persons (passengers) fly in it at their own risk

Ive yet to see this

Wouldnt it be a downside

Looking at the spec sheet, it looks like it's still going to be too heavy to be an ultralight

As far as I can tell you are right (I'm still trying to interpret the regulations (they seem to be a bit confusing))

So I assume when looking to plan build I should be looking at fitting into 95.55/1.2

Or am I wrong again?

Im wondering what sort of licence do you have to have to fly gyrocopters

etc

Not quite a highwing two seat cruiser?!

And I'm told it cannot be RAA Registered

As for the Bearhawk, if it's the plane I'm thinking of, it's actually a four seater loosely modelled on the Maule series of aircraft

If the Bearhawk Patrol specs. comply with the RAAus requirements it will be acceptable.

Bearhawk Patrol

Are the Bearhawk Patrol plans approved in Australia

I seem to recall I did see a list of RAA Approved Kit plans and Plans.

But do you think I can find it again.

I assume its on the RAA website somewhere but I cannot find it(the RAA website is not the easiest place to navigate IMO)

Can anyone point me in the direction or was I dreaming

Plans

this all depends on what sort of plane you want to build.

The Criteria of what I want to build are

-2 Seater (so I can carry PAX or an instructor)

-Fully Enclosed Cockpit

-Hi wing (for site seeing)

-Being able to be registered RAA in Australia

-Plans not a kit

-No specialized material that cannot be bought in Australia

Am I asking to much??

I was interested in the BD-5 (Its only a single seater) But it cannot be registered RAA

Any Thoughts

and the equipment in the Aircraft to be able to meet the minimum equipment lists.

Procedure

I'm wondering if the pilot called it right

Should he called PAN PAN PAN

or MAYDAY.

IMO it was a Pan pan not mayday or am I barking up the wrong tree

I'm a bit sceptically of how these types of footage get obtained participle with Audio(Radio in this case)

IN other words was it real

There just happened to be someone there with a Video camera

Or are all Takeoffs videoed??

I know in radio stations audio is recorded as it goes to air I would assume ATC radio would be the same

BUT Video???

Could someone please point me in the direction of where I can buy CLECOS and pliers preferably on-line or in VICTORIA

Well Done

Well another hurdle successfully cleared :-) I got 87% which I was happy with. AusDarren

Thats a classic

I just read some info in the SAAA website http://www.saaa.com/ about submissions for a "Basic Recreational Pilot License" but as I am not a member I couldn't get into the members area to read more.

Does anyone know any more?

I'm just a bit curious about building a AC from plans

Ive search the net for plan suppliers but I couldn't find anyone in Australia supplying plans!

So I guess this means plans would have to be brought from overseas.

If One was to build from plans would they have to be approved in Australia before being able to be registered.

In other words it would be a real shame to spend all the money and time to build the AC and later find it cannot be registered.

Do these plans come under Australian standard?

And what is the procedure to approve and register

Also what is classified as an experiment AC I assume this is a type of registration with restrictions

i found the c152 and the piper cherokee but i am sorry to say i still cant find the gazzel

Or installed spring loaded Landing Gear

An older lady gets pulled over for speeding...

Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer?

Officer: Madam, you were speeding.

Older Woman: Oh, I see.

Officer: Can I see your licence please?

Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one.

Officer: Don't have one?

Older Woman: Lost it, 4 years ago for drunk driving.

Officer: I see...Can I see your vehicle registration papers please.

Older Woman: I can't do that.

Officer: Why not?

Older Woman: I stole this car.

Officer: Stole it?

Older Woman: Yes, and I killed and hacked up the owner.

Officer: You what?

Older Woman: His body parts are in plastic bags in the boot if you want to see.

The Officer: looks at the woman and slowly backs away to his car and calls for back up. Within minutes 5 police cars circle the car. A senior officer slowly approaches the car, clasping a half drawn gun.

Officer 2: Madam, could you step out of your vehicle please!

The woman steps out of her vehicle.

Older Woman: Is there a problem sir?

Officer 2: One of my officers told me that you have stolen this car and murdered the owner.

Older Woman: Murdered the owner?

Officer 2: Yes, could you please open the boot of your car, please.

The woman opens the boot, revealing nothing but an empty boot.

Officer 2: Is this your car, madam?

Older Woman: Yes, here are the registration papers.

The officer is quite stunned.

Officer 2: One of my officers claims that you do not have a driving licence.

The woman digs into her handbag and pulls out a licence and hands it to the officer.

The officer examines the licence. He looks quite puzzled.

Officer 2: Thank you madam, one of my officers told me you didn't have a licence, that you stole this car, and that you murdered and hacked up the owner.

Older Woman: Bet the liar told you I was speeding, too.

And the moral of this story is …….

Publicity maybe

Might send a message on myspace ;)

If its for real well good on her
