Complicated. 

Is what I think .  If you do pass a " radio transmitting " licence.  It should be good for ' most ' transmitters .

F V

None members cannot log in or check if their aircraft is still on the

RAA register.  ( AUF registered but castout from RAA ) .

spacesailor

I meant.

You pay a fee , sit a test, & hopefully ' issued ' with the licence to operate that " allocated " frequency band .

The next category,  you sit almost that same test for another frequency band .

So now you have two licences ,H F & VHF . ( marine) .

Sit the same nominal rest again to gain ' Aviation VHF " air to air " . But not for " ground to air . Sit another test to gain another licence,  for ' ground controllers licence. 

All on top of your " Amateur Radio transmitting " licence .

Oops.

I lost a letter .

Sorry .

$ 10 pound ,( now, French euro ) " war-surplus " .

It would have been wonderful to have ' foresight ' to have kept a few " spitfires & mustangs " that became  " export earning " aluminium ingots .

spacesailor

mardum.

Why do we have to be tested for,

 each & every frequency we use & licence .

just another money making grab ? .

spacesailor

The difference could be what caused the " Max " problem. 

Centre line of thrust above wing or below wing .

More engine power on a " Thruster " will surely push the nose down.

Same power increase on a " Jabiru " will rotate nose high .

Just my ' penny ' worth .

No seats : pilot stays on the ground to fly their drone . LoL

spacesailor

If paying by seating. 

will standing only , get free rego .  ( seatless aircraft ) .

Temperature was / is not mentioned. 

Only " moisture in the air " .

I failed to understand that logic in reference to Raaus ," piston engined / single propeller/ 10,000 foot ceiling aircraft .

spacesailor

" Glide approach " ,

Does that mean ' engine out ' & gliding. 

" carby icing " .

Cannot happen without "  moisture in the air " !  

According to my ' test paper ' ,

My failure to understand,  tests are not for a particular area of flying .

spacesailor

But 

They can also be used to ' weed out ' undesirable/ older people. 

If oldies are so bad at driving,  why give them a licence at 70 plus years old .

One 70 year old lady failed all her life to pass that driving test . Then lost it the following year .

me  ,  I dread that age driving test .

I couldn't pass my Raa flying  test . After 20 something ' take-off/ landings ' .

To be told told ," i'll never gain a flying certificate " .

I was saying exhaust porting has changed , since the Old

' single ' tuned exhaust were being used on outboard motors .

spacesailor

But the application of those laws have charged. 

the outboard Motor can be efficient on both slow speed as well as wot .revs . All to do with the exhaust tuned for different cycles.

Specialist 

My heart Specialist.  Wouldn't tell Me ,anything about my condition. 

And said " it is all in the cloud " .

he wasn't happy when I cancelled all my future appointments. 

Nothing sent to my gp either. 

Now my wife has a missing report from her Specialist. 

her gp isn't happy with that .

spacesailor

" see your doctor every 3 to 5 years " .

For the wife & I . It seems 3 to 5 weeks is a long time , without appointments. 

My appointments are not as great now as before my hip replacement. 

But the wife has taken over from me .

Now has a ' heart vein ' constriction,   & a lung infection,  from ' bush fire ' smoke .

But has finished with ' skin cancer ' radiation treatment. So that's good .

spacesailor

My ( they say  ) problem is 'arrhythmia ' .

I just say " I'm saving the my heart by not rushing it " .

I don't mind if it goes down to 45 bpm .  But preferably 55 bpm is OK .

THEY ( heart specialist ) got me up to 105 bpm on that treadmill .

spacesailor

I am assessed by my doctor for my driver's licence. 

RAA accepts that, as " self declared " fitness. 

I had a ' heart check ' that seemed to go on forever.  When asked as to my health , that Dr said he doesn't talk to his patients,  & all the results are in the " cloud ".

No more heart checking . If it's ticking it passes muster .

spacesailor

Socialist system. 

Were all motorists  are paying compulsory  insurance. 

For those who become victims of driver's errors. 

CTP .

spacesailor

PS: answered previous post .

But , that CTP is now used for ' medical disabilities ' .

Not , just for the " motor accident victims '' .

spacesailor

I love " Blackberries " 

I picked enough for a couple of " BlackBerry tarts/pies" ,before They got in and sprayed .

spacesailor

Yes " none are getting out alive "

but

What happens to the few , who do  return,   from  that other 

" none existence  " . 

I can't claim that record , as a female, out of our 100 chosen children ,  ( 100 terminal disease,  to test penicillin) has claimed , " she too died & returned " .

" Been there done that " .

spacesailor

My ' wife ' .

Does not do anything like " flying,  driving " a car. or having a licence . Now all my ASSETS will be in her name .

just incase you wish to sue me .

Will I be able to get ' free government ' lawyers to defend me.

Will that " no win no bill " lawyer give me a go .

spacesailor

I was burnt in NZ 

And of course no liability. 

New management , cutting corners to save putting a lock,

On a safety door .

Build the model  ! .

First a small none scale

After , build the ' full scale 1/2 size full control RC .
