The T stands for Devil in Cajun. Note the screwed up face and the fact that he is holding the banner as far away from his nose as he can; the team's new mascot, Tassie the Devil has already christened it.

The latest RAA Email suggests that there is a pent up demand for Group G - 700 expressions of interest I believe.  RAA is now in the process of reviewing its time table to cater for the demand.

 

What does this tell us about the state of Aviation regulation in Australia?

You should be able to calculate that Sunny, it amounts to a 21.5% increase in RA aircraft if every enquiry converts to an aircraft.

The way these things go, from initial enquiry to actual conversion, my rough guess would be about a 2% actual change in aircraft numbers.

"I seek your recommendation ....................................." 

 

Having a recommendation, for a service, from fellow aviators means a lot to me.

Google will pick up aviators all over Australia who don't use forums.

However, be prepared; whole industries have been wiped out by poor business during Covid and poorer business in the last year because a whole section of the community is scratching to buy their groceries. In Melbourne all sorts of small businesses in engineering, sheetmetal, mechanical, etc have been closing down shop by shop.

Wow! 105 views and not a single reply.

• Is this some sort of record ??
• Is the aviation industry in such a parlous state that no business is offering this service??

No, we normally google it.

For their holidays people would walk up to Devonport and watch their ship, the Princess of Tasmania dock and all the cars and trucks roll off. It was while a couple, Damian and Dave were watching cars ome of that the noticed on with a trailer. On the back was a Skippy 5 with a Jabiru engine...................................

You have to take both wings off at the same time or you are in strife.   Nev

Yes but better than hitting a tree with the nose.

The other thing I was taught was if you aren't going to stop before the fence, building, trees ground loop it.

About 15 years ago someone did that in a Jab; the Jab was too light to break the fence down but the wing collapsed until the fuselage hit the fence. The pilot got out with a broken arm.

That's what I was taught to do in a forced landing involving trees, sheds, big rocks - concentrate on the gaps, break the wings off to slow you down.

Also I was taught the technique of forced landing into a canopy of big trees, but I've fogotten what it was.

These days I see a lot of posts using the term Outlanding which, with the glider's controls like air brakes, is quite a different experience to something with a heavy engine confusing the issue and a glide like a brick by comparison.

...wash its hands of the affair since the bow of the trawler had pushed through the front doors of Customs House and was now in the office of the Third Assistant Secretary of Customs; a cushy job handed to Damian from Canberra secretly by his father Sir James Framlingham Track.

Damian who had his handicaps also was very cunning and he called in his Customs Officers and ordered a search of the vessel. "They must be trying to hide something he said, looking up at the aircraft deck now sitting in Davey St." That's all he needed to say; his troops were all required to spend a six months stretch with CASA, so they decided to do a ramp check. Once they got through the miles of longline, they started picking up all sorts of appliances, tobacco, groceries branded Woolworths but with small print on the cartons "supplied by Turbine Agriculture, Calabria."

Later, in the Tasmanian Royal Commission, Captain Bull said he was going for a "dry" landing prior to cleaning the keel, but the Hon Clifford C. T.

However, the Hon Alastair Cook KC argued that they were both unregistered (a common practice in Tasmania) and the Judge found them guilty and awarded costs to Capt B. and saluted him.
