Suggest you Fly the route on google earth on oblique view so you can recognise q1, point danger, sea world, bundadgen headland on the day.

Yes. Never had a problem before but haven't done a download for a year.

Anyone got a solution for this one.? Plugged in Aera as per normal to computer and this message came up. Means I cannot update the database via FlyGarmin. Already checked FAQs on their site. thanks.

"featureless past emerald"... wtf. none of it is featureless...look out the window . its a beautiful country.

About the half way (listowel) from Longreach to Charleville is some truly spectacular topography. Be prepared. If you land unexpectedly on this leg you will be liable to perish from thirst at this time of year. This leg has very few people and some serious walking (at night ) to find help...and forget about your phone working on this leg if y are on the ground. Not all the stations on the wac are occupied these days. Maybe think about going on to Winton from Longreach....very spectacular jump up country. If you are going soon...take enough water .

Allow in your planning for it being just too windy to continue. Allow an extra day in there.

yes i was not specific enough. i was talking about extensive grazing operations re the chinese buying kidmans and other big properties. they dont last more than a decade usually and they dont make much return on their capital if any but they do bring in investment capital to australia. and do essential development work. bloody marvellous if our homegrown family farming businesses can keep land australian owned but just not possible all of the time.

My point exactly. They come with money and development, make zilch, and sell. Foreign investment should not be feared.

Over the years I have seen ag sold to corporations and they just don't do well. They made no money or lose money then sell. Might take a decade or so but corporations are just not successful in ag. So bring in the investment money.

sam is there in the last bit. heli helmet on.

Had a iPad. Then mini..would never go back to full size. Becomes second nature to zoom in where needed.

Cyclic has definely gone forward..see swash plate in video. My money is on pax grabbing cyclic.

thanks.

Tadgell Aviation Caloundra do replacement of the webbing.

You can get just the webbing replaced.

Can I be seen by commercial aircraft if we are both coming into a ctaf octa aerodrome. Does the call sign show up? On an on board receiver I mean. Do regionals commonly have adsb in? I have trig adsb s.

W How do I get the restricted to show up?

Just got new Vtc. 1:250000 in today's mail. Still says 124.2 for Ballina. . So is that correct?

The principle is.....the source documents should be in plain English. Abbreviate to your hearts content after that. My all time favourite is CIvil Aviation Orders 48 Flight Time Limitations. Here is an example..."after an FCMs assigned FDP commences, the AOC holder may assign to the FCM a modified FDP ..."

Just started to update AIP..aeronautical information publication. I would like to write to mr skidmire and ask for plain English writing to return to the AIP. Example gen 3.2 -9 page replaced. Why was it replaced. Because the powers that be have turned the words Aerodrome Reference Point into ARP for pities sake! Doesn't take up anymore space to write it out in full. Another completely useless acronym ... And a completely useless replacement page reprint. Anyone have his direct email ..thought I saw it on here on a previous post when he first started work.

Get the setup checked. Mine was 'plumbed' incorrectly so that when I had doors off it read incorrectly.

Is there any aero club?

Blackall now have avgas bowser. Commissioned last week. Cheers

Just ordered an evo 052. I ll let youknowhow it is for comfort, but it's the lightest on the market.

Ya missed it... As thAt man above Said...the start up costs were high and they never recovered those costs. Casa over regulation strikes again. I d love to do scenic work with my machine...the customers are there. They are prepared to pay..to a point. The startup costs from casa are horrendous.
