I will not be forced to Foreflight when the inevitable happens, think I’ll be like a lot of Ozrunways customers & take my business to AVPLAN.

Airspeed under 10,000 - again.
Bennyboy320 replied to flying dog's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
250KIAS at 5000’ equals 270KTS TAS, Flightradar24 displays ground speed. -
Been a few years since we landed at Moree, back then fuel was available with V or MC, it’s now an Air BP fuel carnet only, so perhaps use Narrabri instead of Moree.

Old Station is the best fly in & under wing camping ⛺️ Airshow around, in my humble opinion, I’ll definitely be there again next year.

We flew the inland route: Tyabb-Wagga-Dubbo-Moree-Caboolture. No terrain & plenty of enroute alternates if required.

I’m 192cm & 96kg, I fly the Foxbat A22LS, VERY spacious with lots of leg room. Highly recommend this a/c.

Mid-air collision at Caboolture - 28/07/2023
Bennyboy320 replied to onetrack's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Firstly condolences to the family & friends of our lost aviators, RIP. I am based out of Caboolture & totally agree that the shared CTAF frequency with Caloundra is a flight safety issue & MUST be addressed ASAP. -
Viva Energy buys SkyFuel, drops AirBP cards
Bennyboy320 replied to KRviator's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
As expected GA & RAAUS a/c not able to get an Air BP card. See attached email regarding my application. looks like some of these airports that don’t offer visa or Mastercard for fuel will need some extra fuel planning to decide if you can land or overfly & spend your money elsewhere. -

Bennyboy320 replied to KRviator's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Just filled out an application for an Air BP card, only a 20 page document, jeez there’s less admin required in buying a house. My gut feeling is that I’ll be knocked back as BP look like they’re only interested in big fuel users not some guy occasionally needing AVGAS for their RAAUS a/c when a Visa card is not available to be used. -
If the a/c & pilot are appropriately certified & qualified it’s not illegal, it’s not ASA’s responsibility to check your qualifications. P.S. I too have a valid CASA BFR & class 1 medical, plus my Foxbat is certified.

Gold Coast are pretty good, 100% success rate in transiting their airspace, coastal you have to be very lucky due to RPT arrivals/departures but the Western VFR route always offered.

Very sad, the first thing you’re taught when learning to do a rejoin is you ALWAYS put the a/c you’re joining on above the horizon in case you misjudge the rejoin to avoid a collision. -

I’m definitely no computer geek, I saved the rego & receipt as a pdf file then attached it where required all using my iPad, safe travels. -

"NOTAMs: just a pile of garbage" NTSB
Bennyboy320 replied to Garfly's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Most airlines give you between 10-15 mins planning time in the briefing office to go through NOTAMS, weather & come up with a fuel figure, that’s it, so it behoves you to do some preflight prep in your own time before your duty starts to avoid things slipping through the cracks.
