Looks like Andy in his excitement has had a double shot.

.......cut the duct, because Cappy was the "enhanced duct stimulator", a natural choice due to he vast experience. When the duct tape was cut, Turbo was going to have to make a very fast grab to avoid Cappy falling off into space. Cappy knew this and started to make a string of confessions.......

On the Websites several people suggested they would be good mustering. There was even ........

There is an official CASA announcement with details?

....achieved; 63 metres of flight!" However, Turbo, having done the research knew that Moas did fly despite what the paleontologists said. We can tell you why on the NES only if you promise not to tell anyone because it's a military secret. The MOA had two small ducts like bile ducts and these were filled with encabulator fluid. The Moa would run flat out and when he'd reached top speed, he'd give the ducts a squeeze and he became lighter than air and could dance across the sky; The Aborigines called them Muggas. It was when an Egyptian scientist was dissecting a petrified Moa that a quick call was made to Turbo, the encabulator ducts were cloned and the rest is history, particularly for the recreational flying industry where Drifters fitted with encabulators could reach ........

I suspect you're cobbling up some imaginary scenario there. If a person and aircraft are compliant today they are flying on the same training standard and compliance status as anyone else so there would be no reason to head to any particular Self Administering Aviation body. On the other had if RAA were to do what Bird Dog's statement is implying, and there were differences from PPL, CPl etc. and the incidenmt was caused by those differences then yes, CASA would need to investigate. CASA, having authorised a change to the self administering RAA would incur legal liability.

Maybe there's another map or sector or NOTAM in the files somewhere.

If these three scenarios were Airproxes that would make an alleged 5 for the year and RAA would have a problem to fix, however: One of them was a GA pilot bitching because an RA pilot didn't fly out to a fixed point in the circuit which was the best his low performance could do, and I wouldn't classify your experiences as airproxes. You will certainly be getting a request to explain re the 737 if that one was, but in the lanes we are operating on visual beacons so we can fly very accurate tracks and the beacons are always on the same building. The tracks are much narrower than country pilots would be used to, so in my opinion the 737 pilot was comfortably settled on his RH side of the lane and he saw you in about the correct position on your RH side of the lane, so that would be operations normal to him. I spent some time a while back showing the choreography of a busy circuit and how to handle speed adjustments, jocky for position etc. Most of that is without radio calls. So if you were heading towards the parachute aircraft and not in close proximity it would be routine and without radio to slightly alter course away from the potential contact point. If it was closer than that you should put in an Airprox report in case the other pilot has. There's been a lot of discussion on experimenting with various low cost devices in the last couple of years; and it may be that they start indicating a potential problem but be aware that you have a legal oblligation to stay within designated lanes and you will be close; even closer if some clown comes barrelling towards you flying by car rules, staying on the left of the lane. For these close-in convergences the Visual Flight Rules Guide Right-of-way rules are on page 056 in the 2024 VFRG.

.......that ancient bird that was twice the size of an Ostrich. I told them to draw a 50 cal. Everyone knows what a 50 cal is, but he drew me with a long neck, fat bum and skinny legs. Cappy, who had a stack of empty gin bottles beside him sniggered, and that .............

...could quieten down the sporting shooters' complaints to the Melbourne Herald Sun which ran the headline "Man shoots rabbit". Some even said the paper should have correctly described the rabbit as Rabbitus Darraweit Grimus, others pointed out the colour was missing, so it could have been a white one, a black one, .....

......laymen who think the rifle is deadly accurate over a distance of one mile. It's not, as Turbo can attest when he was in camo and shooting accuracy just prior to being shipped to Afghanistan. The Camo was find with some lipstick from Woolworths, and a cape of brown rocks sewn together, but the shooting wasn't as sharp as it should have been, so he drove up to DG and shot a rabbit through the eye at eight miles, or he thinks he did. When he got to the spot all he could find were 30 tufts of bunny hair and .............

The Tahitians eventually being able to trade the nails for a 50 cal sniper rifle which was used to shoot Cappy's ancestor when the Chief caught him on the beach having a moonlight dip with the Chief's wife. They said he was killed by an arrow of course, but when your guts have been blown out it's hard for forensics to prove much at all. Everyone gave Tahiti a wide berth after that and even today, tourist ...........

I spent about $6,000.00 researching the US blends and names for our last major discussion on this subject, and that was the conclusion there. I adopted it in all engines and the stationary engines/garden engines, chainsaw failures stopped.

....fair that I should have one too. After all the Victorian Government has signed a contract for rabbit control at the new airport, and have already approved the G700 as a company transport. While I was in there for signing they showed me the Purchase contracts for The Emperor's Palace and grounds in Tokyo, Big Ben, Plymouth Rock and the Sydney Harbour Bridge as well as ......." The mention of a Gulfstream G700 and Seat G8 is interesting because a G700 was lost over XXXXXXXXXXXXXX, and we can't tell you what happened because it would blow the lid on the NES.

1. The average person would notice very little difference if the same grade of petrol had 1% ethanol. 2. The average person would notice very little difference if the same grade of petrol had the maximum legal blend of ethanol. 3. I can design a race engine running on 100% pure Methanol, or a Blend of Methanol and Acetone to make less power than when it is on petrol or more power than when it is on petrol. So a power analogy isn't really relevant. 4. Rotax may well make an engine which is compatable with ethanol, but: (a) That doesn't mean that everyone does. That doesn't mean the carb galleries aren't going to clog up after the engine has been sitting with fuel in it, but it might mean the blind galleries have been tapped and plugged each end so you can blow them out with compressed air or scrape them clean with a brass brush kit, and as we saw in the last big thread, owners reported how their fuel lines failed and had to be replaced and which replacements were best. Ethanol is just another hazard you have to learn about when building and operating an aircraft.

There is another thread on here which started out much the same way as this one and there was a lot of shooting from the hip in the beginning with people referring to fuels which were not refined or distributed in Australia. You're right about the 1% not being noticable; I've raced on pure methanol where the engine put out more power than it did on petrol. What you do notice is the white powder which dries out on the walls of the galleries in a carburettor and particularly on the cheaper units with blind galleries, settles on the walls and sets like concrete. The technique to avoid this in race cars is to drain the fuel tank of methanol after the races have finished, hook up a litre bottle of petrol and run the engine dry. That's enough to wash all the Methanol out of the system. That's would also be practical on an aircraft at the home base which used fuel with ethanol, but given that a blockage in the air means a forced landing and possible fatality no fuel containing ethanol should be used.

....would be the most beautiful female in Texas. Sure enough, the spokesperon for this group was OT and he'd hatched a plan to sell CAT parts into Texas with ads featuring the beautiful gutso which he would lease from bull, and gutso's modelling fees and make-up sales would cover the lease. The Extra went back in the shed, bull bought himself some high heel cowboy boots, a Turquise belt, turquoise rings, and took lessons in the Texas language which only had four wordsn"Yi, Hah, Hey, and Dude." At first ......

The pockets of damaged trees are normal in dense bushland. If you take a look on Google earth at the mountain ranges north of Gippsland in Victoria you'll see the white "Stags" - trees that were snapped in isolated pockets of wind. with the bush right up to them untouched. If you compared this to the Barrington Tops and they were free of Stages, but there was just the one damaged area that's been reported then that would carry some weight.

.......the Diversity Act of Tasmania and was accosted by 6 sets of identical twins. There used to be a law in Australia that it was mandatory to carry a firearm in any aircraft carrying an animal, but it was rescinded after too many pilots shot passengers, so bull was restricted to giving gutso a good cuff under the ear, but the angle didn't make it easy to get his hand out of the way and gutso bit him on the piggy to market finger. bull ........
