RAA licence renewal rant - its not automated..?
terryc replied to rrogerramjet's topic in Governing Bodies
In Tasmania rego stickers have been gone for a while. Andy, the intent of the bulletin is to get you to pay your bill on time. -
I filled out the questionaire, the newsletter could be great or an effort to pretend to communicate we'll see. I don't want to know the name of the new president's dog just the business of raa in detail will do me fine thanks, the direction the board plan on taking us before we start the engine and a long term plan of low cost minimum regulation oversight of our recreational sport.

Just on the way to the post box. Thanks for the reminder Maj.

A mate of mine an l were talking the other day and he was telling me he and his three brothers age 6 to 12 would catch the train to the country to go rabbiting with their guns under their arms. This was a weekly trip. Try that today.

Haaaa I give up.

I was wondering if anybody has any rubber mountings laying around or the cup washers that go with them. If I had a cup washer I could easily make the remainder and that would at least save me a few dollars. I'm also in the market to buy all eight rubbers and cup washers if anybody has them laying around. When I discovered the price of these little pieces of rubber and metal I was staggered. Thanks Terry

Hi Brendon, that's exciting, all the best with your build and remember lots of pics for this forum so we can enjoy as well.

The problem is the postage is more than the cost of the item, if you order 16 the postage is $126.00. I don't think so

can anyone tell me where to find seat covers for thruster seats. I could have them repaired but I'd prefer new ones. Maybe someone has a set in top nick. Thanks Terry.

I think everyone should re read ozzie's post because it appears to me by the responses nobody got the points he made. I might say I have never had any bad vibes from the instructors that I've had anything to do with nor have I found them to be slack in following the guidelines. In fact one went through the training manual point by point and rated my performance on each. That's not to say their aren't some that need to improve and that's where a centralized training facility wood be the better option. when an instructor has his bfrs and further training at his cost. The idea being to lift the standard of training without increasing the cost to raa. The problem I see is if you make the cost to high training costs rise then people can't or won't pay so our numbers decline and round and round we go.

Yep, part of my training too.

Hi Dafydd, from where I sit I see an over supply of aircraft in the raa mag and other places not selling too well and when they do it appears for less than the asking price.

Hi Volksy, I'm aware of one but I don't feel it needs to be discussed on a forum. Raa do a good job in this regard. Your idea that some how we humans can only be controlled by constant examples of what might happen to us is in my mind not correct. My experience is that the overwhelming majority do the right thing and in fact gain pleasure knowing they do the right thing. To have someone/organization constantly threatening is demoralizing for them all. For those that don't do the right thing the answer is education education education and if after that they still offend it loss of certificate. Like I said raa do this well.

Also, The board has acted quickly to correct this. The above was lifted from Motz's letter from the GM. What has the board acted quickly to correct, 1/cease the cover, or look into the matter If the above is true then what the Major is saying is wrong, or the Gm is wrong, they both can't be right.
-
FTFs and SFTFs are currently no longer covered by these policy provisions the above is lifted from motz's letter from the GM. just a small item that leaves me some what confused, could someone explain it to me please. If they are no longer covered then they were covered before they weren't covered so the Major or the GM has it wrong, they both can't be right.

Hi Motz, I'm sure there must be some mistake as no one [no not even raa] could be that stupid. I'm aware of a case where an insurance company cancelled a policy without informing their client and when an accident happened the insurance company still had to honour the policy. If an accident happened I'm in no doubt that raa would be liable. I'm not sure that their argument holds water, insurance is paid by the student and paid by the instructor so they should be covered, or when I did my bfr last week was I not covered. What if I go for a fly for fun with my instructor am I not covered, how do I convince the insurance company that it was a fun flight and not a training flight. What if I do training in my 19 rego aircraft am I covered then or will we cease that as an option for future aircraft builders. I could kept going but I won't. I understand your anger Motz.

Yep great idea, I'm in

Who made you the overlord ? I would suggest that if anyone wants to post any question and have a discussion on it that's good and should be encouraged. If all twenty questions gets discussed that's learning in action and benefits everybody. Gee whiz, you can't please some people.

I just had a thought, what about windscreens o brians

Haven't you got anything to do marty_d

If you contract out each item such as skins, pods etc, metalwork and the like and then buy tubing from a retail outlet and bolts from a retailer you will price your project out of existence. All of the above items needs to be done in house to control both quality and cost. There is no doubt you can put something like a t500 thruster on the market as a kit for under $10k but is there a market and is it worth the investment. I don't think so or I would have already done it. With the shadow that hangs over Raa at the moment that I think will remain for some years it would not be a good time to invest in something that you require a return from or a living for that matter. On the other hand if a group of people did it as a project without expecting a profit just the return of their investment then have a go.

Taking ya mate for a fly think twice
terryc replied to Steve Donald's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
The insurance take over after his mate [use that term loosely] has made a claim, remove him off the christmas card list forever. You deserve better steve. I don't know about endone and scotch, I just took my endone but alas no scotch to have with it. Chin up mate. -
Or won't bother which is more likely.
