    .....a growth restorer and anti-mange treatment. Turbo was fed chook eggs when he was a kid and was told to eat them up to make his hair grow. "You don't want to look mangy like the foxes, do you!" hewas told and he'd quickly eat another four and by the time he was 8, had silky haor down to his shoulders and was featured in the New Idea. The Beatles subscibed to that magazine and started eating plenty of eggs and the result is history. Turbo never forgot and .......

    Would you expect it to be relevant to a person who broke through the "Security" fence and walked up to the airctraft with a loaded shotgun? Call me dumb.n, but I'd be looking at beefing up the security fence. This was not a terrorist ariving to take flying lessons.

    Right now I'm working on 12 Tribunal cases concurrently, on one where the game is to ensure I don't qualify to be heard, several renaming the Use to the difference of prime steak vs maggots, 5 Truck parks for around 400 trucks each in land zoned for agriculture, a toxic soil operation (with a remediation cost of millions.) and two Subdivisions - all timed to hit us over the Christmas holiday period a lot of it is in the names like your example where the landing aircraft becomes an unmarked, unsafe aerodrome with a huge risk of slamming through end fences into agricultural machinery and photos showing (a) Tullamarine, how it should be and (b) a boghole on a very wet day just when the Landcruiser is bogged in the middle of the strip.

    You built an airstrip 8 years ago and got a permit for it. The Specificatioon was to CASA standards. A character like the one here moves in feels the planes are flying too low and goes to the Council. The Council checks to see if there's a permit; tick The permit date is 8 years ago; tick, in most states it will have existing Use rights, so you can't be stopped. He goes back to the Character and politely informs him the runway end will see aircraft flying 650 ' above his house, so try double glazing. The Skippy Way Checks the permit files - no permit, so doesn't worry to go further because there'll be no existing use rights. He checks the Zoning and finds the airfield is now in an Affordable Homes overlay, and Airfields are now in Section 3 - Prohibited. The Compliance and Enforcement Offier shows up at the door to say there's been a complaint and he noticed you had no permit.........................and it all goes down the tubes.

    There is a long and comprehensive thread on this on this site. If you want to build an airfield: Go to the State or Territory Planning Schemes. Find the online Planning Maps (interactive) Input the address The map will show the Zone and any Overlay. Go to the Council's Planning site; most have an online Planning portal Input the address See what your selected Zone allows in Section 1 or Section 2 (Permit required) Section 3 shows Prohibited. Go on the CASA site and find the Airfield specifications. including splays and approaches. You'll either be flying or returning it to pasture. If you move in next to an airfield Follow the same procedure. Find out how long it has been operating; it may have Existing Use rights.

    ....doing Left Hand Circuit operations, resulting in the need to declare an emergency every time you take off or call up at the entry points. The ATCs get used to it after a while though. It does save the eyes a bit because you only have to look out one side. This reminded Turbo of his days in the Khyber Pass with Cappy. The Khybers had heard the British Commands "Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eyes!" The Khybers had seen first hand how effective it was, and General Somewat Slim issued orders to his men telling them to close one eye, so he could reduce his casualties by 50%. This ................

    OK so you don't know what Self Administration is in Australia. We don't have self administration with our cars, but our sports and recreational clubs and associations have been practising it along with Councils and Industry for nearly 40 years. In Victoria the Department of Labour & Industry closed down about 1986 and there were no more Inspectors coming around testing cables and chains etc. We don't operate in the same way as the US, so no point talking about their system. Intetestingly I'm not seeing many complaints about SASAOs; they mostly go about their business, but it never stops in social media about the prescriptive part of CASA. So why run them down when you're not involved with them? Taking responsibility, and its associated costs is what SASAO's do, and have done it very well for the 40 years. SASAOs also have to comply with any Statutory laws that apply, so that's covered.
  17. turboplanner
    It sounds as if you haven't been involved in Self Administration, so you'd be better watching what's unfolding over the next few months.
  18. turboplanner
    We covered that one only recently. When RAA didn't act, CASA audited RAA to see what the standard of administration was. It certainly requires a careful study of what can be done outy in the community, but I've done it successfully in conjunction with Vicpol. Getting the advantages of Self Administration and then not administering is not an option.
  19. turboplanner
    Just at the moment the last thing RA needs is someone rabbiting on about breaking the rules. I seem to remember you telling us you were going to doze an airstrip on your Western Queensland proprty then it was under the Rockhampton airport space.
  20. turboplanner
    Group G is just one operation outside RA Perameters, and involves taking shortcuts in training and operations which currently have clear boundaries between Prescriptive and Self Adminiistering Operations. It's the splitting and potential liability issues that this move relates to. Personally I don't think its='s feasible without RA training coming up to the level of GA in that area.
  21. turboplanner
    They were good people but instead of just setting up for RA, they wanted to include other aircraft, like the bottom end of GA and that was problematic, because you'd have to run a parallel with CASA airctraft prescriptive and the same aircraft in their group self - administering, so not at all easy to handle, particularly in terms of responsibility for accidents.
  22. turboplanner
    In most Industries and Sports, if you want to get one up fast you pick an existing model that's worked and use that as a base; it can be from another Industry or it can be from the existing body. Two of us set up the policies and controls of the reasonably complicated (about 75 mm thick) ISO 9001 Policy, including trials in 6 branches in three months, using an existing example from another industry.

    ....and CT should know; He decimated the Rabbit population of the Guim with his Morris 1100 until it threw a rod oned day, but he'd made enough from selling the skins to buy a mansion in Toorak.

    When HGFA was operating SAFA wasn't around. When AUF was operating RAA wasn't around. These were new organisations.

    Recreational Aviation Australia Inc. Recreational Aviation Australia Ltd SAFA Depends on how good you are with paperwork, and the skills in the group to produce an acceptable constitution, and policies and set up a skilled management structure, and also what you want to do.
