    One more time.................... ASIC has nothing to do with CASA. It's not their baby.

    CASA does have "on condition" info in AWB 02-01 On-Condition Maintenance. Targeted at the VH world of course.

    Serpentine Victoria, north west of Bendigo. Sunny, 31 degrees. No storms. https://serpentineairrace.com.au/ No sign of an 0830 ARR limit on website, that will be a problem for many if correct. Bring back Valley Field air race in Tas, that was good, RENO is way better!

    Yep, indeed. What a thoughtful reply too, nice!

    Yesterday I met Sally, a young woman who operates a battery kiosk at our local community park. She sells C-cells by the seesaw....

    I saw a sign in a jewelers window that said "Watch batteries fitted, $12.50." I thought “Why would anyone pay to see that?”

    Abuse of power?

    Just fitted my third Odyssey PC625 battery in my gunship. 9 years old and still starting the engine first go every time. But it was showing only 11 volts static, so it was telling me time to retire it. New battery cost me $286 delivered, found on ebay. Retail price about $419 in store. Battery one I changed at 8 years. I have always used a 120mah trickle solar charger sitting on the cowling, sucking not a whole lot of daylight each day. I think that is the secret to long battery life. I'm currently sitting at 7 years on a bigass VARTA battery in my V8 road gunship. I usually have a 5 year limit on car battery use and change them before they pack it in. One time (no, not at band camp) I stopped outside the local auto parts store to get something, came back outside and my KIA's battery had died right there and then. Outside the front door. Maybe the store had ultrasonic weapons to destroy batteries outside their door. Or not.

    As a couple others have correctly stated, SAAA is not a self administering sport aviation org. We don’t do aircraft registration, pilot training and licensing. CASA administers VH activity. The pilot of this aircraft was not even an SAAA member. It has nothing nil and nought to do with us. Cowboys give all us recreational aviators a bad name. So many holes in this Swiss cheese lined up perfectly.

    VH-COOL - yeah, I'll take it.

    I think the third and fourth runways where actually announced in about 1974 on the original airport plans. 48 years, not a lot of time to grasp the concept that the airport would expand.

    Not all gliders are G. There's lots of normal reg ones. Is it, or was it so, that gliders only needed to display the last two letters (of a G prefix)? eg ZZ

    86 left you say..... (I do believe you, I looked at the list the other week) What is CASA's plan to keep on registering aircraft then? That's what I'd love to know! They have to comply with ICAO rules. Imagine the fun we could have with 4 letters. VH-MAVV VH-GOOS VH-VIPR VH-JSTR

    News just in: Apparently Trevor Jacob was the pilot, and bailed out long before leaving the runway.

    DOH!

    Here's my glass cockpit. Real glass in each instrument.

    Is that the port aileron on the water tank?

    760kg legal/not legal? CAO 95.55 commenced 2 December 2021, which describes the 760kg availability for some aircraft, so yes, it is 100% legal now. Whether it is usable yet or not is the question. RAAus will be doing the amendments to their manuals and processes (subject to CASA approval) to make it usable. And along with the 760kg the 45 knot max stall speed remains.

    For the airspeed anomaly, I think I'd subscribe to Nev's theory - static line left disconnected perhaps.

    Paul Bennett Airshows used to have it on their website. One of his various companies makes it.
