they are here to stay, even the driest farming land is a potentially viable

I don't think the attraction of flying out to a regional airport in the middle of nowhere is that compelling. It doesn't compare to hopping on a boeing and flying to different country.

mike is saying pollution is good, his kids can sort out the mess once he's gone cause Mike is getting Mike's

The work is in the big cities, young people have so many better entertainment options, it's that simple.

That's the beauty of Apple, it just works

you run up your engine inside the hangar?

I imagine the company that supplied the information systems to the RAA that records pilot records is about to hit gold.

gotta dump your nuclear waste somewhere, no fan of nuclear power wants it in their backyard

Not every country has colonial assets in the middle of the Pacific to test their nuclear technology, I wonder how the EU would feel about China and India testing nuclear technology in the Northern Atlantic?

its weird that "wind turbine syndrome" has only ever been recognised as a phenomenon in Australia

thank the railway unions for that

Even a domestic solar system has got a 11% return on investment, imagine the sort of money those big solar farms are making

The funny thing is all that coal, is it's full of heavy metals, which once airborne, ends up in the food chain. I was reading about the secondary pollution in China and how its working into the food chain around the world. The only way the Chinese can ensure their food stuffs are toxin free now is too import food, which means buying up Australian farms. My tip would be definitely not to buy farmed prawns from Asia.

send it back to the retailer for a refund if you don't think its "fit for purpose", radio is essential for your safety

ultrasound is a silent killer

Another area of note is that whilst the RAA increased by 750 members there is only an increase of 1% ~35-40 aircraft in the fleet.

I think you are in the "honeymoon" period, the growth area for schools and workshops is in the BFRs and aircraft inspections, there is a possibility for the RAA to use them to increase the standards. The notes about the PDP THE RAAUS professional development seminar series for all Instructors, maintainers and safety personnel are underway. The seminar series will run until June. The programs are structured to include important information on flight training practices, school management, maintenance and airworthiness, along with introducing staged integrated Safety Management Systems for flight school operations. Part of each seminar includes a forum, intended to be an opportunity for members to ask questions directly to RAAus staff and Board members, along with a chance to enjoy some food in a relaxed environment. Full details can be found on these pages or at Log in - RAA - Intranet This seems orientated toward pushing higher training standards post licence phase

I think its unlikely that you will see less intervention from the RAA in your daily flying over the next few years

its like the ultrasonic vibrations coming from the tips of turbine blade, you can't hear or see them but they can easily travel 20 kms and damage you

I know a mate, who swears his mate knows of two pilots who have been blinded flying over solar farms

Another perspective on this growth is that are enough to pilots entering the sport to justify a 2nd a player like the ELAAA, if anything the presence of a 2nd organisation would probably accelerate the sport. Its good for investment into assets like airfields and the supporting infrastructure.

got a choice of lasers, needs based if you want to cut ply as well as balsa Banggood Provide the Most Powerful and accurate Laser Module on the Market at Lowest Price

but its going to be another $176k, or better, this year as well and the next year as well, you'll see an extra $500k coming into the RAA in 3 years, an extra $1M is 6 years. That's not accounting for the extra money coming in from the increase in fees. It's happy days for the RAA.

this is from Michael Monck, I just thought it was interesting that they have added so many new members, its the biggest year on year gain in RAA history.

why not buy one of these and produce your own parts? cheap laser will cut balsa easy enough EleksMaker® EleksLaser-A3 Pro Laser Engraving Machine CNC Laser Printer
