    Friends of mine went to that new pub up on the moon. Said it was crap, absolutely no atmosphere.

    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!

    The Old Bar investigation went around and around, eventually going nowhere. Got all hung up in the detail apparently. (COME ON.. someone had to!)

    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.?

    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.

    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.........................

    Any consolation prize for spotting the "Take me Home" Huey in the background - EAA museum Oshkosh WI.

    AIP SUP H132/18 Issued today 27 NOV 2018 has reversed the wrong direction levels put in place by CASA in direct contravention of their own regulations. Effective immediately. Beware though, you will still face oncoming traffic at the wrong levels (as per current VTC) who have not or will never see this AIP SUP. Perhaps "Request (or Require) traffic advisory" to Melbin Senna whenever transiting those routes, and if you don't get it, you are entitled to lodge a safety report, which will trace directly back to the originators of this massive rooster-up.

    Don't be fooled into thinking the senators know nothing about aviation. I get the impression they already know the answer to most questions they ask. And that's why most of them, particularly the Chair, are so "JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION, YES or NO" with some things. They can spot diversion and confusion tactics a mile away. They don't have time or tolerance for that. They have many people and organisations appearing before them, they can smell BS a mile away and want to get to the bottom of a matter without all the song and dance thrown at them. Self-declaring medical arrangements work for the mission in question - private flights with one passenger. PPL 30+ years, I have an under 600kg VH plane though, so I'm an interested party to all this.

    Two identical aircraft overhead, one piloted by a CASA approved organisation's pilot (RAAus pilot) who self-declares fitness to fly, and the other has to jump through CASA medical hoops and in reality, also self-declares fitness to fly, or not, regardless of any certificate held, on each and every day they fly. Just like the RAAus pilot does successfully. AOPA position is the RAAus self-declaring medical status system works, CASA has approved it all, so why are they denying PPL holders of same aircraft up to 600kg? Certainly had all the senators shaking their heads in disbelief. They all seem to be be regular guys, who can clearly smell BS at 60 paces. RAAus legal advisor fella needs to, oh, I dunno, read the RAAus OPS Manual before his next appearance. My goodness. RAAus aircraft are all simple aircraft with fixed pitch and fixed gear??? What The.

    Alpi Pioneer 330. Next....

    Ah, LTF, you always question, examine:book: inspect, dig deeper, the truth is out there and all that (except when the CASA regs are silent) I see you got back okay, your valet probably experienced this:plane: while you were actually doing this:drive:

    Assuming this is about RAAus aircraft, (since RAAus was mentioned) why not read the first two paras in section 12.8 of the RAAus Tech Manual instead of all this guesswork and mis-information? I'm not in RAAus, and I found it in about one minute of looking online. It's been there, unchanged, for the last three years. When it doubt about something, just check the facts out for yourself, it won't take long. Never blindly rely on what "someone" told you - too many people do this as their first and only option, why?? Check the facts, in many cases you might be pleasantly surprised. Questions/topics of similar nature would best be posed not as "what is the answer I seek?" but "where do I find the answer I seek?" And there I end the lesson, not by giving you the answer you seek (after all, I'm just another "someone"), but guiding you to where it is where you can see it for yourself, and no guesswork is required. Good hunting.
