Wigg's what the heck are you sitting around doing at that time in the morning? No need for sleep!

Welcome James

Sounds like you have your spare time all worked out for a while! Keep it up and have fun, plenty of info etc on here, what part of our great country are you in?

I have ordered X Plane!

Welcome Fella

I Remember You!

Fill me in on what you did to yourself, just a little older than you if I remember's correctly, and the brain seems to have misplaced or possibly unable to recall the past happening's.

Great to see you back! Cheers Guy

Hi SCK

Welcome Fella!

CPL and cheap don't usually fit in the same sentence! One feel's it best you look for good value, as sometimes things that look cheap turn out some other way.

The advice someone gave me all those years ago was "Do It In The Bush" as this is also most likely where you will get your first start!

And yes I started working with the organisation with whom I had done my Training. Suppose this all depends on which angle you are aiming for once you have your CPL. Meaning what particular facet of aviation you would like to be involved in!

Just my 2 bob's worth, All The Best and maybe we shall see you somewhere along the way!

Hi Dave

When I bought mine in the late nineties I used Ken Flint in Adelaide, just recently got finance through him for our house we just purchased as well

Welcome Derrick

What do you do in Laos? Had any rain in WA as yet, getting a bit damp over this side of the country! Fantastic to see creeks running which have been dry for years!

Great Pic's UL

Making me home sic!

Winds have settled down here in SA.

Would love to come to Tumut, tis where I learnt to fly, however someone wants thier Urea spread on Sunday over here!

Meant to be a nice weekend here in SA, hope all is good for Tumut, Have Fun. Say hello to everyone for me!

My Airtractor has a windscreen wiper,

and I must say an extremely handy device in SA at the moment!

Excellent Photo's chap's, was going to put up a few from "Oshkosh" and the USA, however I think these pic's here would put mine to shame!

Once Again Fantastic pic's

ps cold and windy in SA

Welcome Deb

Well done on your "First Solo", many more to come! Keep having fun

You'll Love It!

Have Fun

Hi

you will need to buy one from ? Mine says "Airservices Australia" and I reckons it is meant to be made from leather!

Thanks Ian

We all do some silly thing's in our lives, sometimes we don't get away with it!

People who are extremely tired can make much worse decisions than those who are maybe just a little over the limit!

HUMAN FACTOR'S, How Do We All Deal With Them?

A Very Awakening Video

Fly Safe, Cheers Guy

Very Interesting thought's from above!

As someone said you have to make the money while it is there for the taking, and in my industry there is plenty of gaps between the good times. (Agricultural Industry)

We have a great deal of difficulty finding people who have some common sense and who are willing to work odd hour's. Our industry runs for extremely busy period's, then has extremely slow periods. Just how it is!

Have seen many people leave this industry for the supposed consistancy (spelling) of some other industry!

If it keeps raining and the locusts arrive as expected we will need to work 24/8 to just keep up with it, well maybe keep up!

There definately won't be enough of us! Either pilot's or ground crew.

As me mum has mentioned "Agriculture is the most respected form of Gambling" How True!

What a Challenge! and the Rosey future moves on!

That is one cool piece of machinery, when will they be available?

Welcome Dave

Just a thought on buying something from OS, (just thinking about the Zulu, it would have to be returned to the purchase place if it required warranty) seems to negate the saving on purchasing it internationally!

does this then mean you have to send an engine back if it has any warranty challenges?

as one may feel it would be unfair to expect local distributor's to supply warranty if they have not supplied the original component!

Just A Thought!!!!!

What's the feeling? or more to the point, What actually happens?

Hi Darky

Don't forget that MOST ! instructors are actually human! Hope you have one of these! Not one that has forgotten where they have come from!

We were all there at one stage or another, doing test's etc. Not that much fun, however designed to put us through the paces so we feel we are able to rise to any situations which may or may not occur.

You Can Do It!

Do some practice while you are driving your desk at work, rehearsing it in your mind will put you along way in front of your self!

You Can Do It, You Can Do It, You Can Do It, You Can Do It!

Catching the Kero burner this evening bound for Oshkosh and a few other spot's in the Sate's, You Have Fun!

Today's Flight

Oi Darky

Hope it is clearer up your way than down hear on the Mid MP, nice day down hear for a IFR training flight, but that is about it!

Have a good flight !

When I started to Power fly it cost $65/ hour, though I reckon may wage was about $200 before tax a week for 48 hours.

Todays cost, by what is called the average wage, it is now probably less expensive, percentage wise.

And your average Airline Pilot get's paid less than 30 years ago, no I am not an airline pilot! And has to pay for his/her endorsement. Talking with a mate the other day, just did his Airbus endorsement, took him away from work for six weeks and cost him about 28k. Forgot to ask him what he will get paid when he actually starts with the airline!

So "How do we pay for it" Just keep working!

Oh and my car is an XY Fairmont!

Hi Peter

Well Done on your PPL, and Welcome Here!

as already suggested tis handy to have a GPS, however don't get stuck in the Cockpit, VFR is outside the window, as Tomo say's Love The Challenge!!

Sydney, the short way, Keep Australia on your left, the long way, Keep it on your right! Hope I got that correct! lol

Jolly Well Done O'l Chap!

Never stop learning, honing and multiplying you skill's. Have a few hours and am going back to relearn some stuff I haven't done for 20 years, will be a challenge.
