bloody hell a question was asked
G'day All. Just wondering if I might be able to ask the views of the panel? Long story short, I'm an ex GA pilot looking to get into recreational aircraft, with the goal of eventually building my own. Tail-end of last year I Googled flying schools in the area and decided to go out and have a squiz and a yarn. Being new to RA, I'm not too sure on the rules and regulations for the different registrations, but one of the aircraft triggered a "What The Fark !?...Mob of Dodgy Can'ts!" response. Just wondering if this is considered a serviceable or unserviceable condition, and common for RAAus aircraft?
Also, the corroded Flaperon hanger assembly did not appear to have any bearing or bush fitted, so the whole mechanism wobbled like an Elvis impersonator with Parkison's. Is this normal?
no its not
but
owing to the fact that their are rouge operators in this sport that need to be hung drawn and quartered and named so as the person like you do not get the impresion that all rec planes are a death traps
this information about operators of planes in this condition needs to be addressed in writing to raa and if no response CASA as the charter that we as an organization operate under has been broken there for no one will able to partisapate in this sport
don't phone put it in writing
IF this plane is at the extreme end of where it's alleged to be condition wise, anyone with a KNOWLEDGE or witnessing an unsafe action in aviation is required to report it to the authority. In our circumstances it would logically be to the RAAus initially,
nev the part of this saga that has me concerned is with a plane in that condition and used to train persons to fly what sort of instructor was he /she ? neil
