  1. Trainee pilot perceived to be not of Australian origin transmitting over my airfield yesterday, somewhere. All I could understand was the location, not one word else. So much for the English language requirement. I had no idea who/what/where he was, and didn't get answered, so I bugged out Lima Lima to the south for ten mins til the LZ was clear. (I hoped!)
  2. To me, it was a good experience to spread to other new pilots with low hours. Thanks for telling it. I like your quote about doubt. That's rather good.
  3. Don Johnson. Wasn't he in Miami Vice?
  4. Ah, no, it's built-up area. Same animal though, closely settled, populous are mentioned in some RAAus used CAOs though. CAR 262AP Experimental aircraft operating limitations. For aircraft operating on an Experimental Certificate (aka Special CofA) issued under CASR 21.195A, such as E-LSA whether RAAus or VH, or VH amateur-built. CAR 262AP(4) and CAR 262AP(5).
  5. Any numbers on them? If so, try Kelpro or mackay rubber lists for replacements.
  6. "Traffic (location)......" And there is the problem. Don't worry about what the book says, just invent your own whatever. Sorry, I give up.............. EJECT! EJECT! EJECT! (Bang....... gone....)
  7. So it's 100% safe for an RAAus plane to be number 12 in the circuit at 08:14am, but not alone in the circuit at 08:16am. Welcome to Australia.
  8. The first word, and the last word, must the airfield name. Nothing else, no "all stations", no "traffic", no nothing. That's why it goes pear shaped, people doing whatever the hell they want. CAAP 116-01 v4.2 (this weeks) para 6.3.8. (location) traffic, Aircraft type Callsign position/level/intentions (location) Press button, begin speaking, stop speaking, release button. Dirt dart planes are the worst for fast talking. It's not cool. That's it. Simples! (can't do the Meerkat noise...)
  9. Not great for the dishwasher either.
  10. and before/after hours - yes. RAAus fliers, come on down.
  11. Friends of mine went to that new pub up on the moon. Said it was crap, absolutely no atmosphere.
  12. I've done my astronaut training. Well, I went to school and took up space. I'm one of them folks who is a firm believer that man never landed on the moon, I just don't believe a word of it, I think it was faked. So guess what, I'm not going!
  13. Heath Center Wing Special racer from 1932. Some sort of variation of the Heath Baby Bullet. Next...............
  14. Turbine Legend. Too easy.
  15. Junqua Ibis - without even having to search. Ka-Ching.
  16. A 1945 Daimler Benz project "e" I had one, (but the wheels fell off...)
  17. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-10/kimberley-man-survives-plane-crash-1/10703658 Those scratches will buff right out.
  18. The Old Bar investigation went around and around, eventually going nowhere. Got all hung up in the detail apparently. (COME ON.. someone had to!)
  19. Well that's interesting. What's the basic science behind it I wonder. Why did it work so well when normal methods didn't? Doesn't appear to be in the Lycoming operator manual. Please report yourself to nearest CASA office (within 7 days) for prosecution.?
  20. Then keep going north a bit further to http://monumentaustralia.org.au/themes/technology/industry/display/32582-duigan-monument The 100 years commemoration organisers tried to get the property/airfield available to land on back in 2010, but alas, no. I often fly over it, wondering exactly where they flew from, which bit of dirt.
  21. Infinity, or some variation thereof (hitherto/ergo/towit..)
  22. reg D-EAGL
  23. Un avion, je crois.
  24. RAAus have been using low vacant numbers for quite a while now. Magazine is full of them. Nothing shocking about that, CASA do it with VH. Motor registration branches can do it with cars. If the number is not used, it's usable by the next punter. They won't run out until past 9,999 aircraft registered, and with about 3500 or thereabouts aircraft registered at present (was it?) they won't run out any time soon. Nothing to see here, move along.........................
  25. Any consolation prize for spotting the "Take me Home" Huey in the background - EAA museum Oshkosh WI.
