Need information of Palmyra and Marian airfields
Clearprop replied to Clearprop's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Thanks so much Hongie. Do I need to call in advance to organise landing there or can I just turn up? -

Is anyone able to provide any information including length, type, direction of runways, radio frequency, contact names and numbers for Palmyra and Marian airstrips outside of Mackay. I will be flying up to Mackay and want to avoid going to Mackay airport. I searched through the forum but not very much information. Cheers Nick

Accident causes, training and Raa Aus responses
Clearprop replied to Dieselten's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
"The readiness to blame a dead pilot for an accident is nauseating, but it has been the tendency ever since I can remember. What pilot has not been in positions where he was in danger and where perfect judgment would have advised against going? But when a man is caught in such a position he is judged only by his error and seldom given credit for the times he has extricated himself from worse situations. Worst of all, blame is heaped upon him by other pilots, all of whom have been in parallel situations themselves, but without being caught in them. If one took no chances, one would not fly at all. Safety lies in the judgment of the chances one takes." — Charles Lindbergh, journal entry 26 August 1938, published in The Wartime Journals, 1970. -

It is a flippant, offhand, thoughtless comment that provided no new information or value, therefore, insensitive and stupid! -
I have posted on the forum in the past and have been too busy since. In the meantime I see the website has been undergoing a renewal. I fly a Jabiru 230D and have the priveledge of flying mainly for business purposes. Cannot believe more people in this beautiful, mainly flat, mainly dry country do not realise how accessible flying is. I look forward to some more great discussions with fellow flying members.
