Probably just needs a little more advertising and stories.

.......new aircraft is an outstanding example of aeronatic engineering crossed with the camping facilities of some of the latest off-road caravans in Australia, but without the drawbacks of wheels dropping off, water tanks leaking, radio antennas sailing and toilets jamming. The CASA FoI who had been camping in one of these painted in camo, towed by a Supoo Outback, also in camo, and had experienced all these failures this trip, became very sympathetic and all Cappy got was a caution about the rude sticker on the wing. What he didn't know was that the cunning Cappy had seen the camouflaged camp from the circuit (yes he was still one of the few who bothered to fly a circuit these days) and dressed as a Bedouin (with make up) had wandered into the camo site in his flowing white robes and asked how the trip was going. With the FoI outwitted (or so he thought) he soon had the Bushcaddy off the ground. noticing that eagle's beak stuck up in the air, the FoI realised he'd seen it before.......in his caravan........he reached for the radio mic.............................

....be expanded and equipped with robotics, because robots are capable of drilling holes in a straight line rather than wherever they feel in the mood for (and Turbo produced two photos, one where the rivets spelled out "XXXX turba" (sic) and another showing a precise line of rivets.) "Which photo shows the robot holes?" asked a particularly keen journalist. The press briefing ended with a seafood banquet and unlimited supplies of wines from the extensive cellars of Turbine Vineyards Ltd. The stories in the press all seemed to closely follow the hand out sheets, which had amazing lines about the history of Turbine Group from its start as a single cat farm growing rats as food for the cats, photos of the finished Ermine being modelled in Paris, and a single photo of an aluminium sheet with a precision hole line. However, as usual there were FoIs lurking under the trees, and one had managed to get a photo of a Bushcaddy with the bulge indicating a Solar T62-T32 engine and the wings bending back at the tips in a banana shape from the force of the speed (4 times VNE). Turbo had been busy and didn't have enough time to do "that paper crap" as he put it so the FoI................

None of this relates to the question.

No, all in your imagination. You were going back in time.

How about a straight answer?

What about the 1940s; can you give us a run down on them?

Australians in the post covid era have also been waiting 12 months to 2 years for their cars and that has only recently started to clear. Chapter 11 can take four or five years to settle into a commercial reality. Now isn't a good time to be crowing about their misfortunes; many companies come back hard.

Whoever came up with that hasn't studied accident and crash technology. As I mentioned in my post above, Cirrus builds in collapsible items; it's those that are designed to be destroyed; if you look at the many photos they show the airframe mostly intact, not totally destroyed. Early crash studies quickly showed that the instant stop which slammed the person's brain into the skull was the big killer. In the car industry Toyota Land Cruisers with heavy bull bars were a good example of unnecessary deaths. Today's Land Cruisers with collapsible components including bull bars along with the same system in trucks saves a lot of lives. In cars, the collapsibility of the items ahead of the windscreen and deflection of the engine downwards also save a lot of lives. Airbags which are actually blown up by explosives deflate as the person's torso is thrown forward, all for the slower deceleration.

A key point in the video is that the Cirrus has not just a parachute, but 26G energy absorbing seats, and structure, energy absorbing materials in the floor, cowling, firewall and engine mounts and fixed gear. That makes a big difference to survivability.

.....count sheep. Not many people know that the correct way to count sheep is to count the feet. This ancient system was more accurate because you had to train each sheep to do a slow-step march in single file rather than the later short cut of trying to count a mob of 1000 unruly sheep with some always circling back and being counted twice. While Cappy was counting sheep and drifting off to sleep Doubtfire finished him off with an uppercut to the jaw. When Capp's burns and jaw had healed he painfully made his way out the airfield to check out his Bushcaddy. It was a sorry sight, but not as bad as the Jab he built from a kit; he always argued that he wasn't to know that one of the crates had finished up in Ceduna and he'd done the best he could. As he was walking around he noticed a new Bushcaddy in the circuit. As it was taxying in he noticed the signwriting "Turbine Aviation - gets you there fast!" and ..........

I understand where you are going here, but for example if you're in the circuit and someone is way down there and hard to see someone is either too low or someone else is too high. If there was a choice between ADSB and a major clean up of circuit flying in Australia making sure people were flying in the same circuit would reduce the risk the most because then you know where to look.

Some good points there, probably more realistic than what we've been seeing. If it's important to you then you should write to Airservices and get the correct information. Relying on "Managed to get it signed off" has left many people with a recreational aircraft in the shed forever in the past.

You've mentioned that several times but I've never seen anyone respond to that. On the other hand it helps obese people and looked like it would help people with a health problem. And of course it allowed some cheap old GA airctraft in. The weight people needed was a lot more than the weight saving of carbon fibre with the stiffening to take thumps like nose and mains landings, engine torque and vibration, control surface loadings, attachment reinforcements etc.

Therein lies the problem; Airservices, probably for legal reasons changed the primary method of approach and circuit separation from radio to visual. Perhaps they saw there was a reasonably forseeable risk that there was going to be a collision because a radio would fail or one pilot might be on the wrong frequency, or their radios might go down etc. or the pilot may simply be flying without training and therefore they had a duty of care to guarantee none of those things could happen. Certainly people were regularly screwing up transmissions or not hearing transmissions or on the wrong frequency as you found out, so an impossible situation for Airservices. With visual the legal responsibility rests with the pilot, who has the duty of care to scan, see and decide, and he pays out if he screws up. The two aircraft coming in just behind you were operating to current regulations. I'd be very interested to see the official position on ADSB as a replacement or in conjunction with Visual separation. Although a few people have talked about it and fitted cheap systems, I haven't seen any proposed legislation, any specifications, any standards such as TSO or any release to take your eyes out of the screen. Apart from that, if ADSB was introduced the liability issue would be much the same as radio.

If you check back through the posts you'll find what you need to fly into CTA.

People within RAA want to expand their horizons in the aircraft allowed ast the top end, and going cross country and into strange airfields requires suitable training. I don't think GA is as safe as it used to be with the endorsement steps. Now we see clowns junping into a more sophisticated aircraft and letting it get ahead of them, but an Endorsement system withion RAA to step up from rag and tube would work well and stop the learinging by social media. The aircraft numbers are solid and the statistics will show you where the expansion is. That's the equivalent of Market Share and RAA has let the customers drive the Market share so it's gone upwards away from grass roots. Look at the discussions on this site - mostly on GA rather than RA. You can't force younger people to do what has been done in the past. I tried it with race cars to get younger people in, standard tyres which would last a season rather than three nights, smaller engines, shorter races; and I failed by about their third race night they would show up with the big wide soft tyres for $500.00, put a bigger engine in and be gone, broke halfway through the season. They have a vision of how they want to fly, and you need very agile management if you want to grow grass roots flying, but of course it can be done. On this site there has been a reasonably active group of Thruster/Drifter etc people who seem to be enjoying their flying and enjoying it and probably spending very little money on it. They are the ones here; the ones you are talking about have to be sought after, enticed to functions like Natfly and galvanised into cleaning up the machine in their shed. RAA doesn't seem to do that, and in your case you guys went way up market into GA territory. How's that going?

The chatter as you say was about a decade ago.

From what I read some time ago the EFB+EFB argument was lost then. There's nothing wrong with visual flight rules but from what I see, a lot wrong with the people fling in congested areas and circuits starting with a belief that they should always get first priority and not fit in with traffic. Usually a narrow miss fixes that. I understad why people would like to have a cockpit indication or proximity warning, but once people start relying on it you need the same redundancy and build quality and training and currency as IFR, so you'd want to be doing a lot of hours per year to pay for it.

I wouldn't worry too much about the figures you see on SM, usually unrelated to what's actually going on.

Why would someone from Anatye be worried about the outside politically correct world?

Your end result is about right. Car & Truck Industries CARBON EMISSIONS: PM As for the rest, if you're talking about carbon, it's a heavier than air material which just falls to the ground, albeit in its finer particles the wind can stir it up, it can get into the lungs and it can cause lung cancer. So talking about Carbon, the automotive industry has been reducing the emission of Carbon in the form of those fine, invisible particles, PM10 and PM2.5 since 1975. By 1992 PM reduction had been reduced, but the industry started on the road to try to eliminate PM. Since 1992 PM emissions in new cars has been reduced by 98.4%, while Industrial operations haven't really changed, so he later cars have started sucking up ambient air and burning the PM. PM Summary: Has increased car costs by several thousand dollars. Maintenance costs due to the hours of stripping away electronics and hoses has increased substantially. CO2 EMISSIONS Global warming caused by CO2 emissions started as a means of raising money by the UN around 1968, and today is in full swing with some social media and MSM stories that Australian new cars are some of the "dirtiest" in the world. The truth is that unlike NOx and PM, the engine alone can't reduce CO2 output; that relies on the fuel going through the engine and now, with all our cars imported we can't run the latest overseas cars on our fuel so the overseas suppliers have had to add the complication of older engine designs to their production lines. The Government did nothing about the fuel, so the farce continued. The good news is that our Vehicle industry took the initiative and has successfully negotiated a deal with the fuel companies to bring in world standard (much cleaner) fuel and as soon as that becomes available to the pumps, the vehicle manufacturers will be able to give us the engines that Europe, USA get. Aircraft CARBON EMISSIONS: PM Aircraft engines have continued to emit a full charge of PM10/PM2.5 at the level of the 1970s. The heavier than air particles drop down along the aircraft circuits and routes. There's a health argument that somethig should be done about it, but no one's making much noise. PM Summary: Development would have to start from scratch, probably using car/truck techniques Several thousand dollars extra cost on new aircaft. Aircraft CO2 EMISSIONS As with vehicles, Australia has had no design standard for CO2 emissions from aircraft. You would hope that if the global warmists get their way, that a similar deal could be negotiated with fuel suppliers, so that standard overseas engines could be imported.
