Sonar and camera technology is very advanced and in use in Automotive i.e.Tesla. Obviously could be utilised in commercial Aircraft.

One way trip to Sth K would be exciting

Pilot critically injured in crop duster crash near Goondiwindi

Must say though I have the bose. I fly a 2 stroke pusher and the iphone siri still works and when I ring someone they can't even tell im flying and im told the radio calls are 5/5 (no engine noise). Good INVESTMENT.

Got to go to Cameron corner ( border of QLD NSW and SA ). If high wing taxi to fuel bowser and park out front of pub.

And maybe you will be a better prepared pilot than others. Congratulations on going Solo.

Airborne site markets them.

Someone can clarify this if not quite correct but is approx. Going rate for space at Caboolture is approx $250 p/mth (thats what I and others pay). To put that in perspective, sale price of OLD hangers has been around $120k. 34 new hangers have just been built (10 for the club). 15 x 12.5 sold around $180k and 20 x 12.5 around $240k. According to website only 2 small hangers to be sold. Have heard that the club hopes to rent space, 3 to a small hanger between $250 and $300 p/mth.

Yes mate.

John was always available for a bit of advice and/or just a chat, and such a nice guy. I am very sad for his wife, kids and friends of which there are many. He will be sorely missed by many. Devastated.

Plenty of Headroom in these

Took me 40 years to grow a Beard, I don't know how i'd go with feathers.

Maybe some of our Yank mates can put their 2 bobs worth in. (Fu*k, hope I didn't offend anyone )

OK John, 125.85 (YCAB,YCDR) to Woorim then 126.7 10nm either side of YTGA which is then all but 10nm from YDUN (126.7) not to mention YBCX. As YTGA was not in ERSA was unsure the default CTAF applied. I will though go to BNE CN over the water "Just in Case".

Considering a flight from Caboolture to the Straddie Breakfast on Saturday. This is a high traffic area with flight lanes depicted on the VTC. FYI the VTC requests all Aircraft transiting to turn on Landing and Taxi Lights. Now YCAB CTAF is 125.85 which will get you to Woorim on the east side of Bribie, then as you cross Moreton Bay (8nm) to Moreton Island change to BN CEN on 125.7 and remain on this freq southbound on the west side of Moreton Island till 10nm+ from Dunwich on Stradbroke Island and change to 126.7. On the way home reverse the trend up the East side of the Islands. My concern is DO many pilots actually monitor and announce their position on the Area Frequency (BN CEN) which is obviously a busy channel.

See www.aeroclub.com.au/events E-NE less than 10kts up to 3000 only 24 degrees by lunchtime. 20% chance <1ml. Looks good

Watch a restored Hawker Hurricane take part in an ear-shattering flight of rare World War II fighter-planes at Scone Airport today. Rare plane flies again with Aussie WWII pilot's colours

When I and 32 other small aircraft landed at "Brisbane West Wellcamp" a RPT, an ASIC was not required and we were supervised.

Does this reg still apply - Post #2 from 440032 no asic I can't see why she can't fly herself - Airport operators are required to provide visitors ID card (VIC) and an ASIC equipped escort to those who do not have an ASIC. When she lands, if any goons approach, they will have an ASIC, and can be her escort! Make sure she identifies herself as just a visitor, and is requiring a VIC and an escort. Or MAYBE fax or email a request in advance to the airport operator so that she can take a copy with her. Don't ask for permission to land - it's a public airport. ASIC has nothing to do with permission to land. Just say "I am coming in on this date. I have no ASIC and will require a VIC and an escort to and from my aircraft, as required by Regulation 3.15 of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005." Job done. Your friend seems to be not eligible for an ASIC as she does not seem to have need for "frequent" access - ie, more than occasionally. Lucky girl! Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005 6.26 ASICs—application for issue A person who has an operational need may apply to an issuing body for the issue of an ASIC. 6.01 Definitions for this Part operational need means: (a) a requirement for frequent access to all or part of a secure area of an airport where persons are required to display an ASIC, for either of the following purposes: the operation of the airport or an aircraft; 3.15 Requirements for airside generally (3) The responsible aviation industry participant for the airside area of the airport must ensure that the area can be entered only by: (a) a person authorised to do so who: (i) properly displays a valid ASIC; or (ii) properly displays a valid VIC or TAC and is supervised by someone authorised to enter the area who properly displays a valid ASIC;
