The problem is RAA instructors are few and far between, with time poor and cash rich students RAA schools need to get there acts together

In Au we dont need to follow FAA part 103, our 95.10 is 300kgs or 660lbs gross makes part FAA103 254lbs empty weight rather pointless with our 95.10 ??

China swoops on flight schools to solve pilot shortage
phonetic replied to fly_tornado's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Australian airlines really have the pick of the crop to hire as junior aircrews , ATPL theory with bachelor and diploma degrees from academies or ex ADF aviators, with out either how does a bare bones CPL actually get to advance ?? -

40kW motor 30kWh battery total mass of motor and battery 200kgs, there goes my idea of CAO 95.10 home built electric aircraft -
China swoops on flight schools to solve pilot shortage
phonetic replied to fly_tornado's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Im sure regional shires with a aerodrome would love to get a slice of the business makes good sense for ab initio training, like a converted shed donger for class room and dozen Tecnam P92 would churn through 300 students per year with lots of landing & traffic fees ?? I can see some small RAA GA schools do deals with the larger training schools to offer ab initio training roles & tasks -
EASA certification of Rotax 915 (Now 141 HP)
phonetic replied to Downunder's topic in Engines and Props
$5k redrive kit & $5k auto engine conversion looks very attractive for owner built sports aircraft -

Pertinent Question to ask when on a TIF?
phonetic replied to 3550Rebel's topic in Student Pilot & Further Learning
ask what aircraft will you be flying in, download pilots operation manual, pilots check lists, watch youtubes on aircraft type you will be flying in -
RAA aviation deaths are tiny comparing to any other action activities, more people die riding quad bikes for recreation as example, single seat upto 600kgs should be exempt from any CASA CAO or CAR regulations, why should solo pilot only aircraft personal choice & risk be regulated to the same as GA & RPT, I understand when extra 3rd parties are as risk safety regulation should be at a higher level, the nanny state goes beyond common sense sometimes ??

Pipstrel's "Alpha" electric airplane
phonetic replied to NinjaNate's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Electric motors are 90% plus efficient vs petrol internal combustion with turbocharger intercooler 40% tops, electric might just add up for aviation ?? -
Narromine debarkle,,,,6ft fence !!!!!!!
phonetic replied to bull's topic in Aircraft General Discussion
cheaper to hire some fencing than break the bank with extra public liability insurance, holes big enough to allow taking photos, but small enough to keep you away, kinda sucks aviation show you not allowed to look close at the aircraft -
The only way around it is to be under experimental owner built category otherwise its under regulation 35 of CAR. not sure if under RAA regs Lev 1 owner maintenance if you can do own mods, would be nice to have 95.10 style regs with 600kg MTOW then you can DIY your own mods ??
