I like it as it is. Perfect you won't get any better

Hi Nobody, did you submit an incident report to raa

It wasn't a drama then but now you have to pay for it and when everybody realizes that they will have legal liabilities once they sign on the dotted line the cost will be in the thousands then we'll see if it's no drama

Continuing to pay the rego looks like a cheaper option than letting it lapse. That sounds good but what if raa refuse to register it which is what happened to me. So now three years later I have an aircraft sitting in the shed and now I've lost interest.

your got to be kidding. Reread docjell's post

Well if your want to have such a strong opinion you owe it to yourself to be more informed. Kasper is correct in his understanding and we owe him a debt of gratitude to go to all this trouble on our behalf. I say on our behalf because the board are heading straight back to where we were a couple of years ago and if someone doesn't take them on we will be in deep trouble. I have been 100% behind the board up until they spend their time [ which I pay for] on promoting only one option, [their option] for the new direction of raa under the guise of information sharing. I'm sickened by their approach. Also having Don on this forum promoting the same, I had such high hopes for this new board but they have shown themselves to be the same as the previous mob with just a little bit of communication to try and appear different. What they fail to understand is ''communication'' is not transparency. Thank you Kasper.

looks much better

I am also voting no for much the same reasons, It appears to me that we will have a well paid, well run organization [by professionals] with no member input at all wanted or needed. Change I'm up for, but not all or nothing.

when your at 1000 feet there should be no excuse not to put the plane down with the exemption of may be ground conditions when you arrive. My failure was at 200-250 feet when performance is more critical.

First thing he should have done nose down, that should have been instinct, next tighten the bloody harness as tight as you can. I didn't see him try to re start the engine or look to check fuel valves etc. Maybe he new more about the amount of fuel he had or lack of it that meant both those things was only going to waste his time. No radio maybe so no mayday. Low level turn with no engine when not required, bloody madness. He survived by luck and that's not the way it's meant to be. What should he have done can be summed up in one sentence, take control of the situation, aggressively if required and make it happen. He should have side slipped that plane to the flare and given himself the whole paddock to sit it on the ground. So to sum it up He let it happen. He did not take control he let it happen. BAD. Have I had an engine fail yes I have. Did I do any better well no not really. I did well with some things BUT I failed to take control to a level that is required to save me and my plane. Like him the opportunities were there and I didn't take them I allowed things to roll on and hope for the best. He through luck and only luck didn't get hurt, I wasn't that lucky but lucky enough to not be dead.

I'm keen to know what these several people offered up too meet the request and was it accepted by those carrying out the ramp check.

as an l2 you do not certify an aircraft airworthy, you can't you have no qualifications, none

The answers easy, don't do it.

no import duty on aviation related items.

yes you can

jabiru, just on the news with pictures

that's what happens after a mafia hit, obvious

Thanks JG, loved those photos shows the vastness of the area. Your right about the almighty dollar, wins every time and we are no different. We will pay eventually.

Hi winsor, lovely just lovely and the flying was great too. Some blokes have it all, barstards.

That's as it should be. Even though I don't always agree with what raa do I must say the more I see of this new direction the board is taking the more I like it. Well done raa. Now if we can fix the communication issues we have things will really be looking up.

Well I've heard from a number of people suggesting that it does, so I asked my cfi when I did my bfr, [18/12/15] he said as you say that they no longer exist and promptly endorsed me for all the aircraft I've flown in my log book that he has knowledge of but even so I still was not convinced. By chance my bfr and PC became due at the same time and when my email arrived from raa to say all was well and my certificate would be in the mail came which I still have it was minus as you would expect the LP/HP endorsements. Here was an oppurtunity to ring raa and get a final word and put my mind at rest so I did. I was put through to the appropiate people the responce " that's ok it would be on my certificate when it arrived and true to their word there they were all nine of them including HP and LP, hence my comment a fact check is in order. Terry

who said there is no HP /LP endorsement anymore. There might be a need for a facts check

What frightens me is it appears that the most of you have become so reliant on your radio and place so much faith in it that you have forgotten what is required of you as pilot in command of an raa aircraft

sounds like the development of a plan starting, we taswegians are on top of the tree when it comes to being hosts, let's see where this can go.
