    Guys ,maybe i should have asked the ATC guys for for the real info , looking at ozrunways and charts when planning is the right way ,but have been caught out by being pinged at 3500 on descent into the 2500 step at or after KIlcoy by atc, they were very helpful at that time (i had just 1 week earlier passed my xc) but canm be stressful; at time

    Aldo, i didnt feel belittled , just asked the question of fellow aviators that have been doing it far longer than myself , i always try to learn from others who no more about a subject than i , my learning continues . Cheers Gareth

    Dr Zoos ,yes you are right ,Ra does not cover all bases in xc and for me flying through areas with high traffic and not having radio and transponder on is a BIG safety issue cheers gareth

    Aldo , you are right of course and i do use my charts but in the Ra xc training you are with your instructor who helps you understand reading charts , but this is also a high stress time for students ,also when you have gained your xc you then need to do xc to get better understanding, i plan most of my xc trips and plan through the most easiest ways that are close to cta areas,and it has been said many time s here that we learn more about aviating the more we do,also i am not a 20 year old being close to 70 makes a little more time to learn and digest, with myself i know that the more i do things the better understanding i get the reason i asked the question was to get responses from pilots that use this area all the time ,i thank you all for your responses and will now go back to my studying cheers gareth

    Geoff ,i agree ,some of us retirees as you say have the time to build,tinker or purchase a plane now lets get this right ,a plane ,wings ,fusalage,cockpit,elavators etc etc by golly its a plane , isnt it all about the aviation and flying ,to me it only matters that the CFI that teaches me is competant to teach me to the best of my ability , it takes years to become a good aviator and i am still learning as long as i do it legally in Ra it will do me for the time i have left in the sky cheers gareth

    Your right that email is one sick loonie dont people realise that this (your) forum is for all like minded aviators ,sure we can disagree ,but dont be assholes to each other for the sake of a cheap laugh, and dont worry Ian/Corrine , most of the users of this forum will be there for you both Cheers Gareth W Lacet(not a psuedonym) is that the correct spelling LOL (for you Dazza)

    I have always got my items in a timely manner , but it is a small business with all the problems of suppliers not getting your orders delivered on time , also Ian is working away at this time ,and it is a genuine business cheers gareth

    I think Ada is trying to impress us all with what she thinks she knows, i for I do not get impressed that easily, there are many forum users here that i would listen to first , then get the facts for myself ,i have also flown 4 different Jabs and as with ALL planes there are things about each that you may not like and as Facthunter said there are other type engines that are iffy cheers gareth

    thanks Ian, some of these topics are getting boring and takes away from what this great site is about AVIATION CHEERS GARETH

    Oh, they do have toilets as well to far to walk in to town for coffee and there is a restricted area close by as well just a pee stop but a bit of wind at the end of strip off the hills cheers Gareth
  22. gareth lacey
    Yes the strip is open , landed there last month but very quiet the guys mowing the side grass told me not many planes landing and the plane in the long grass at the entrance has been very neglected cheers Gareth

    Has anyone asked the pilot? He was flying the plane and if as everyone suggests it's a tricky plane to fly I don't think a low time or on type pilot would be.and really it's more supposition than real facts.also we need to ask how the pilot is feeling, that would have scared the s##t out of me cheers Gareth
