  1. If people can't read the documents for themselves, its an indication that they aren't ready for cross country flying.
  2. Before you start telling us what's law and what's not, I'd suggest you actually read ALL the ASIC details slowly.
  3. .....curtained immediately. (Turbo is continuing the "free spelling spirit and invention of new words convention (fssinwc)). In any case Turbo's priviledges had not been changed by his Tasmanian brothers (and sometimes fathers). As the Challenger zipped across Bass Strait as if it was a puddle, he should do a full switch of the Aurora, which would take Tasmania back to the Ice Age and allow Queenslanders to wear shorts, or put it into flash mode which would give both States some variety and confuse the global warmists who were starting to go cold as they realised they might be about to pay for the things they forecast without doing their research. Greta has had plastic surgery and is unrecognisable as a transgender cage fighter, and Albert Gore as he likes to be called now is telling the world he has a switch he can flip to fix things. Turbo reached out #1 to Albert to see if he could hire the switch, or ........................... #1 For the benefit of Generation X people, reach out doesn't mean reach out any more; it's a new substitute for spoke, wrote, emailed, phoned, messaged, X'd, posted, and saves time working out what you actually did which would then lead to your boss asking for a copy, or a Court asking for the evidence.
  4. I raised the question because Australian Flying 23 June 2023 had a story "AOPA CEO leaves Medicals Working Group".
  5. That link is to Ben Morgan giving us his opinion. Was the AOPA submission a collection of Members' submissions, or was it just a submission by AOPA itself?
  6. You mean this one on the normal kind of heavy Ute? First Class Member 29.2k Aircraft: non pilot Location: New Gisborne Country: Australia Posted 1 hour ago The normal kind of heavy ute. Chev Dodge Ford etc would have needed a reconditioned engine by that ,mileage and plenty of tune ups Plugs and points. They put out puny power compared to this new stuff and just drink fuel. No power steering and pretty ordinary brakes. You just wouldn't drive one these days. Nev

Current Ute models, Australian specifications: Chevrolet Silverado HD: Engine: Duramax 6.6 Litre diesel, 350 kW (470 bhp), 1,322 Nm Transmission: 10 speed auto Braked Towing capacity - 4.5 tonnes Ford F-150 Engine: 3.5 Litre, twin turbo V6 diesel, 298 kW, 678 Nm Transmission: 10 speed auto Braked Towing capacity - 4.5 tonnes Ram 1500 Big Horn Engine: 5.7 litre, V8 Hemi petrol, 291 kW, 556 Nm Transmission: 10 speed auto Braked Towing capacity - 4.5 tonnes Ram Laramie 2500 Engine: Cummins Diesel 6.7 Litre, 276 kW, 1152 Nm Transmission: 10 speed auto Braked Towing capacity up to 8 tonnes All have full electronics.
  8. Google is your friend if you want to remain rich. In some cases those flashing lights just need to be cancelled; the lights are used for multiple messages, sometimes very minor, but helpful. You can buy diagnostics equipment and learn it, but often the manufacturer has provided a sequence,like turn the key off for 30 seconds, turn it on, turn it off after 2 seconds, turn it on and the light has been reset (I just made that one up). There is no point in replacing the console if the lights are telling you the truth and you have waterlogged, muddy or fractured ABS in the left front wheel etc. Get some quotes on reconditioning your injectors - (let's say we leave out removal and replacing). They are usually dismantled, and Ultrasonic cleaned. That brings them back to glowing metal but doesn't bring them back to as new dimensions with sharp edges etc. Then they need to be bench tested and adjusted for the correct output and performance. In quotes I got the reconditioning cost was about 75% of new cost on injectors bought in the US, and you get all that as new mileage.
  9. .......prepared to take the skirts off table legs Even today it's not unusual t be invited the high tea in Tasmania by another Flyer, and while eating Cream Sponge Cake with a cake fork from a sponfe plate, comment on the table legs and hear you host say "Aye, she's a lovely one this one, and don't give me any trouble e'en" or .........................
  10. It may also be separated further if the advertised dog fight was in progress. Moorabbin pilots regularly fly over the training area in formation, and there’s usually a formation of Harvard’s going through every Tyabb Airshow, but all further apart than the two S211s shown in the video on the news services.
  11. ....................enjoy the nightlife because as we know, Tasmania closes at 5 pm when, at that low latitude it gets dark. Turbo had a nasty experience some years ago, when, after getting bored with the island hopping of flying to Tas on the eastern route, he set out from Moorabbin to the Port Phillip Heads, King Island, and Wynyard Airport next to Burnie. It wasn't his fault that someone had filled the C172 with diesel by mistake, and every drop had to be syphoned and blown out, and he had been further delayed in the "Twilight Zone", as us Bassers called it, when he was chased by lights in the twilight. They chased hime here they chased him there; at one point he thought he was upside down, but he realised the sky was supposed to be above the sea not below it and broke from their clutches, had a quick look at the Seaweed Harvest on KI, and reached the Wynyard area at two minutes to five. He made a routine inbound call and received a "We're closed" reply, so he ............
  12. .......ows. Nobody knows exactly why, but this was the time when Mexican women took over family control from the men. In the bull dynasty, Guadaloupe was a particularly ferocious family patriarch, insisting on Grace being said before every meal, Cantinas being closed down and Tequila staying bottled until 9 pm. It was Guadaloupe who invented the Cockroach dance La Cucharacha! and invented the law requiring all men to do La Cucharacha! from 9:05 pm until midnight, when even the most frisky of the men were too tired to drink or ................
  13. Samsung Galaxy is just an Android phone. Not suitable for flying an aircraft.
  14. There have been so many straw man scenarios in this thread that we could sell bales.
  15. I'm not rolling over for it; I'm agreeing with it and I'm agreeing with it for the reasons I've already partially alluded to. I can't say any more publicly and nor can anyone else without putting people's lives at risk.
  16. I wish you well on that but 5 or 6 people unhappy about security are probably not going to carry a lot of weight in the workloads of those 4,000 workers in Canberra compared with the 1993 petition from 513,445 people for more health care funding or the 2000 petition from 792,985 over taxation and beer prices, or the record 2014 petition from 1,210,471 petition for funding for community pharmacies. Right now the millions of potholes in our roads is generating a bigger and bigger following as people damage their cars.
  17. .......removed the tops from 24,350 Coke bottles at the Taos, New Mexico Coca Cola Depot. Detectives traced them to ........
  18. Governments do this on a regular basis, e.g. as penalties change, they get out of line with older laws they apply to, so a decision has to be made on which way to go. It usually starts with bipartison (members from both government and opposition) committees. In the 47th Parliament which started July 26, 2020 369 Committee Reports have been presented to the Parliament. From those, Bills are developed and voted on in both Houses of Parliament. They are not passed until both the House of Representatives and the Senate votes agree on the suject matter. There are 151 Members of the House of Representatives and 76 Senators. They are fed by 2000 people on the Parliamentary precinct in Canberra when Parliament is not sitting, and 4,000 when Parliament is sitting. Old laws have to be searched and analyised against new bills. Hundreds of thousands of documents are involved. The government of Australia is a Commonwealth combined from six Sovereign State Governments and while it controls two Territories it can't control States, so bills have to be checked against State Legislations before the debate starts. In the period 2013 - 2022 the Australian Parliament has passed 139 bills into law each year. Where necessary old legislation my be superseded. The current government, with a majority in the House of Representatives, but a minority in the Senate has managed to get 154 bills passed since it started; a very good record given the minority in the Senate, and that means a lot of bipartisan support.
  19. ......safe because the small print required to jigger to be posted back intact. Since there was a tab which had to be broken off to fit it, all returns could be disqualified, but the postage from the NEWPMG instead of being a penny, was $15.95, so that achieved the same result. However it was when Turbine Cherry Blossom Green Renewable Charging Stations inc. were caught out in a Current Affair where the cameras showed site after site powered by diesel generators and video of Turbo jumping fences to get away from the female reporter, that the venture collapsed. A rueful Turbo admitted in a Today innterview that Cat Farms were safer. That started a massive avalanched of compliants from the hundreds of thousands of Cat Protection Society members around Australia, and then .................
  20. Maybe its just a cluster; maybe it's human factors such as one of the paricipants having a radio, but not using it, or not using it correctly, lack of knowledge about circuit approach and circuit procedures?
  21. https://www.jetworksaviation.com.au/ Depends what they were shooting; if it was formation and combat the risk with a photographer looking for a better shot, or being caught out with a heavy camera and rapidly changing high G Forces can see the camera getting out of control. From the link it looks like the pilot who went down was trained by the RAAF as an electronics engeineer, not a combat pilot, but too early yet to draw conclusions. What we do know is that the Chief Commissioner of ATSB, Angus Mitchell, in a TV Interview has said ATSB will be investigating (so it's not going to be written off as aerobatics) and in the list of things they are going to look at are "the people". To complicate matters, if they were filming for a series, the events could be classified as a Workplace Accident, which would bring in a different set of invesitagtions.
  22. ....have problems without batteries and we'll have problems with motors that don't work after the first ten hours. (The success of Turbine Industries was Turbo's incitefull thought process; the EV industry had also picked up the traits of Chinese motors, selling the willing retirees on EV by promoting them as maintenance free, and they were; the minute those Golden River motors stopped, you had to chuck them in the river because there was no way they could be revived by any spanner on earth). "We'll give the customer a free replacement battery as long as he brings the old one in in working order" said Turbo to his marketing staff. "That should ..........................."
  23. Agree; there's no way you want to lock out the ability to retain an outstanding Official on the dubious grounds of refreshment.
