Inflight breakup and the first piece was an engine and prop I think , main wreckage hit a house causing a fire that killed 4 people in the house , pilot was alone and unqualified using fasle identity.

The sound of those engines is so horribly sad,,,RIP

Still not RECREATIONAL is it??

But the RAA ops manual specificallystates , quote , for the purposes of educational, RECREATIONAL and research purposes,so raa has a different set of rules then GA as it always has had.

Instructors and schools have an exemption from the charter always have,i,m talking about the high end RAA flyers flying out to meet clients and the jetset boys flying the high speed sleek machines to work and back , ie ,,using the aircraft to achieve a financial gain

Totally agree 88, and that is what GA is for,,,,,,,,NOT RECREATIONAL aviation, it is for RECREATION/FUN ETC not as a means of transport for work purposes.....

Hello all, I have posted this thread after having a discussion with Don Ramsay about pilots using their RAA aircraft as a form of daily transport and to visit clients for work purposes etc,,,,Now after looking through all the cao,s and the RAA operations manual it would seem that anyone doing these activities with an aircraft registered and flown by RAA certificate holders are in breach of the RAA operation manual this is the first paragraph of our current ops manual outlaying the rules with which RAA pilots fly! now what is the definition of recreation ,,,To me , using your aircraft as a form of transport for work purposes is NOT RECREATION and is outside our ops manual, therefore illegal and this argument could also be used by insurance people to deny a claim etc,,,,,What is every bodys thoughts on this subject????This is the wording from our current ops manual,,,,flying for educational, RECREATIONAL,and research purposes only,,,,,flying to work and back can not BY A LONG SHOT BE DEEMED RECREATION CAN IT?? https://www.raa.asn.au/storage/5-om-71-august-2016-single-pages.pdf

Sorry Doug but the LSA ex GA crowd have already killed the original reason for the formation of the AUF in the first place,RECREATIONAL FLYING,,,,everybody is missing the elephant in the room, THAT 70 % of the newer generation of lsa flying members flying under the rules of RAA are actually breaking those rules every day and a good lawyer would ensure that insurance for public liability ,[that the supporters of the raa hypocrisy] will tell you covers you ,,WILL not cover you if you are proven to be operating outside of the original ANO ie, Aircraft and certificate owners are NOT to use their aircraft for hire or REWARD,,,,HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU MEET AT AIRSHOWS FLYING RAA REGISTERED AIRCRAFT that ARE USING THAT AIRCRAFT TO FLY AROUND TO CLIENTS ,TO BUSINESS MEETINGS , TO DEMONSTRATE AIRCRAFT FOR POTENTIAL SALES ETC ie earning a REWARD from the use of said aircraft...…………….thereby operating outside of the original brief from CASA...……………..Ps thereis a huge difference between using a ga registered aircraft for this purpose, as ga do,s not have to operate to this brief from casa , so it is legal to use a private ppl and aircraft for this purpose,,,,BUT NOT AN RAA REGISTERED AIRCRAFT OR CERTIFICATE, AS IT IS SPECIFIC AND MUST BE OBEYED...is it not??????????

The sport air makes the t83 look like it,s a paraglider [slow] sportair only has a 503

Sorry Kiwi, have removed my last post myself , but a lot of people are still hurting about the debarkle created by the RAA exec,s at Narromine last time , and it seems to have tainted the name Narromine, and if you read my posts ,I have said this event should be worth seeing unlike the Cessnock event .

I think your talking about the RAA bullshit one at Cessnock,ticket sales reflect that LOTS of people are waking up to RAA,s real agenda...……….

I don't think that the young of today are not interested in aviation dsam, I think it is more a case of the cost, as for me if the Auf had not been around when I first learnt to fly,i would still be flying models.The very reason ultralight flying first came into being ,AFFORDABLE not bloody accessable as the raa exec,s would try to have you believe. As the QUASI GA drive to take over the cheapest most enjoyable way for young people to get into aviation ,has unfortunetly been taken over by empire building quasi ga ' wants' ;,resulting in ever increasing costs to pay for the empire building of a couple of ex and not so ex GA people Quote'largest recreational body in Australia'end quote.RAA statement.

We can only hope so,might be alright if the RAA execs are banned...……….

And the pushing out of the RAA CHESTS[only 2 of them really starting with m]will be front and centre at Cessnock not worth attending to those that know the true meaning of 'FREEDOM TO FLY',Ausfly sounds like something worth going to.

Not only focused,BUT created by and FOR ULTRALIGHTS,not quasi ga aircraft...…………..

Or the thruster in the creek story.lol [for those that don't know a thruster was a dangerous 'ultralight' thingy that has been banished to the back of the shed by all the new shiny GA type raa planes ]…………..

No worries Turbo , (edited..mod) just a throwback to the never ending story days lol
