    RA Aus Maintainers Authority

    in Governing Bodies

    Posted

    The problem is, we're an association not an industry, we're here to fly for fun ,not make money through our employees.Even when reading CASA's guide about SMS's, it appears to assume that everyone is a money making company with employees.

    Problem really is that aircraft are crashing and killing pilots and passengers. Rescue personnel have to clean up the mess. Association's belong on the bowl's club rinks.

    Fact is pilots/owners have to step up to the mark and educate themselves on there particular aircraft. No doubt the vast majority do, but the flip side of the coin says that lots can do with more education on maintenance requirements on there planes, as already admitted by some so far. Times are changing, and fast, best be proactive and get in front of the curve-ball.....

    Digital maps

    Pretty sure that if you want to use aviation maps and a flight planner combined on a win pc you will have to go for Airnav Vfr, sentient software I believe. There digital maps come from airservices and under licence. You can plan on a wac, vtc or vnc etc.

    Can't comment on these particular strips, but it sounds as if you guys know your way around Qld, can you recommend any strips between Warwick and Cairns where an asic isn't needed and fuel is available, and you might even get a kind smile 098_welcome.gif.81ff07d492568199326e4f64f78d7bc6.gif

    Well those regs are pretty light reading:cheezy grin:

     

    Gotta love this:

     

    Just to make your day, here is an extract from the CASA guide "How to use the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998"— perhaps demonstrating the formulation of the new 'clear, concise and unambigous' CASRs.

     

    ' ... note that 'the Regulations' contains many 'regulations' within it. In other words, Regulations means the whole statutory document; a regulation is a particular kind of part of it. The Regulations are divided into Parts, each Part dealing with a particular topic. A Part may be divided into Subparts, and a Subpart into Divisions. Divisions are divided into regulations, but a Part or Subpart can also be divided directly into regulations (that is, a Part need not have Subparts, and a Subpart need not have Divisions). An individual regulation may be divided into subregulations, a subregulation into paragraphs and a paragraph into subparagraphs. A regulation that is not divided into subregulations can be directly divided into paragraphs.'

     

    That quite clear?

    Efficient cruising altitudes

    in Jabiru

    Posted

    Thanks Nev, thats exactly where I was going with the question. With the standard CV bing carby, the throttle cable doesn't directly operate a slide. I only presumed that there would be an altitude where at WOT the engine would be operating at peak efficiency.

     

    My aircraft is overpowered so a careful testing regime is in order, but was hoping for a good starting point. I did hear around 7000-7500, so headwinds and tailwinds aside, I'm sure the jab has a sweet spot at a narrow alt range.

    What altitudes are you guys/gals flying at on long cross countries for best airspeed/endurance combination. Throttle at WOT or a lower power setting. Mainly interested in 3300. I have a sensenich ground adjustable so looking to set up for long distance running....
