    Mercy Mission: The Rescue of Flight 771 Great telemovie starring Scott Bakula. The ATC or search & rescue centre (I think it was) transcript of the event was a good read too, no idea where that's available.

    I've personally had several Jabiru engine failures over the years. Calmly identified the problem, selected fuel ON, restarted, then resumed my taxi to the runup bay.

    For amateur-built aircraft, APs (of any affiliation) are not responsible for airworthiness. Full stop. (p.s. SAAA don't register any aircraft.)

    There are no different specifications for lighting for experimental within the Part 91 MOS. See MOS 26.22 for anti-collision lights "required by type design" - Experimental amateur-built as an example have no type design. (not type certificated) LSA also is not type certificated. 26.23 for NVFR landing lights 26.26 for NVFR nav lights Transponder - Class D towers and G airspace (OCTA) - see AIP

    You are correct Peter. (p.s. we sold your plane) Transport Security Regulations 2005 6.28 an issuing body may issue an ASIC only if (a) the person has an operational need for an ASIC. 6.01 Definitions Operational need means a requirement for frequent access to all or part of a secure area.... (airport or aircraft operation...) I have virtually no operational need for an ASIC, therefore I am not even eligible to apply for one. Sure, I could just say I have frequent need, but that is not true. I have been airside going about my business (not flying) (once a year approx) at various capital city airports over the years with no ASIC. Even clearly seen by roving security at one. What happened? Nothing.

    Just heard from a fella who has a friend from USA coming out to do some flying around in OZ. Has to get a FAA to CASA licence conversion and they won't issue that until he has an ASIC. ASIC place won't issue an ASIC until he has the CASA licence. WHAT the absolute......... Clearly his first mistake was to even bother with either of them.

    Yes, I fitted the kit to an Altronics headset back in 2002 ($390 AUD for the Headsets Inc. kit) and it still works great. But the USD price these days - OUCH! I don't know if I would again today, especially at that price. I don't know what a good factory ANR headset costs.

    I suspect you might not know that "bollywood" Litsea reticulata - is a real timber, generally from NSW. Generally similar specs to Spruce, though a little harder and quite a bit heavier. Bollywood was approved in Australia back in the early 40's as an alternative to Spruce for aircraft construction. The wingspar of my plane is bollywood.

    1956 or so I think, after the Korean war. OBOE was also bad for dyslexics. My teachers used to say that due to my dyslexia, I'd never be good a poetry, but look at me now, I just made a beautiful vase and an ashtray!

    Tiny Rita, the metre meter maid, who's duties are to mete out justice to wayward parkers, parking a metre out from the kerb? THAT Rita?

    We had a guy in the local aero club who as a young boy in England, sat up on a hill watching them practice the craft and he said nobody really had much idea of what they were up to.

    "At the moment"? Good to leave yourself some options for the future!

    Numbers or letters makes no difference at all, ATSB won't investigate most accidents in the sport aircraft world. Very selective, very few.

    16/25 came up on the Fed website on Thursday morning. Instrument 16/25 simply amended the end date of 18/22 before it expired, nothing more. (CASA just moved the finish line) INST 18/22 lives on, victoriously. SAAA members can expect a broadcast Mon or Tues. Had hoped for late Thurs, but alas........ not the end of the world. (that's on a Tuesday, later in the year.)

    I believe... (CHECK IT TO A RELIABLE VERIFIABLE SOURCE) that if it is at 90 degrees to your torque wrench, no calculation is needed. Set and use. I have one of those things but can't for the life of me recall what they are called.

    The rocker chamber vent Service Bulletin does not apply to solid lifter engines.

    Marco - you don't say what fuel you are using. I just had sooty black spark plugs with RPM drop at mag check after running unleaded petrol/mogas for maybe the last 13 hours. Spark plugs about 83 hours use, first 70 on avgas. I'm going back to avgas use only with (570 hours satisfaction.)
