I believe you may well be correct Bill ....... Bob -
I am reliably informed that the submission that we were all invited to contribute to, has indeed been submitted to our political masters . Just another example of the work being done by our dedicated team in Canberra ..... Bob

I doubt that the authorities would insist on an ASIC in an 'emergency' , but then again !! ........ Bob

Like Latrobe Valley which is also a Security Controlled ,according to ERSA ,with the usual 'security' measures such as 900 mm fence and push button 900mm gate ( always left ajar ) with the usual ctaf code if anybody ever bothers to shut it . The occasional RPT flight ceased many years ago when Rex pulled out . The system's a joke ...... Bob

This is an old thread revived . That remark was made more than four years ago ! ...... Bob

Had a few instances where I suffered icing when taxiing prior to take-off . I now apply carby heat immediately after starting and maintain until prior to run up checks , which I do as late as possible prior to take off. In reality the only other time I apply carby heat is when on approach to destination ..... Bob -
Agree Poteroo , but surely these manoeuvres /skills can be taught at a safe height . Many fatal accidents have occurred with an Instructor on board ...... Bob

I make a practice of applying carby heat whenever the throttle is other than fully open .... Bob -
Hmm, that extra speed and carrying capacity would really be nice Bill , but even the 160 is a bit tight in the hangar ( gotta watch 'that' spelling ), so not sure I'm up to going through all that again .......but then , if you're really interested ! ...... Bob

Good effort by another 'senior' pilot . The extra 20 knots with the 230 certainly makes a difference .... Bob

Not sure why the fact that the aircraft is factory built is ... " important and highly relevant to the accident " FT , the engines are identical in both factory and home built, and both can be maintained by the owners ..... Bob -
That's something a bit different SD , and not too bad at all from the iPhone . Bet the old eyes and feet were working overtime on touchdown . Pic #3 looks a bit like the feedlot/abattoir I remember on the Premer road ..... Bob .

We're expecting around 25 C today so got airborne early . Days like this remind me of why we tolerate the cold Southern winters . Another pic of 'my and Alf's country ' .... Grazing land with Gippsland lakes then a roll cloud covering Bass Strait . Bob

Jet the serial no is 22 B 299 which I think would be a fairly recent build ... Bob

Having a good knowledge of your aircraft 'systems 'and the consequences of their operation ,enables pilots to be in a better position to diagnose, and often rectify or isolate, in flight faults ...... Bob

Yes I agree Bruce, in fact I can't ever remember paying anything for my Jab. , but blxxdy inconsiderate of SD , in fact I'm thinking of taking the matter to the anti Discrimination Tribunal , may finish up getting a few hundred acres off him . I used to have to show my Seniors card once upon a time , but now they're very nice ,and when I offer to show it they just say .... " Oh, that's alright Sir , don't worry ".
