It's great to see this film Lutz. Please keep up the effort to get proper public recognition, because the 20 th Century saw so much advancement in the technique of air travel.

I study ancient civilizations, and find that so much of history gets buried or distorted, and example being how the Egyptians developed skills almost overnight, then lost them within a few hundred years.

No time like the present Darren, and the NZ scenery is just magnificent

BTW Ive posted a bugger of a pic in the "guess the airstrip" competition.

I've been watching a story on the ABC about a toxic forest in NE Tasmania, they said the trees were Genetically Modified and produced the toxins which flowed down the streams and all but wiped out the Oyster farmers in the bay. Looks like an interesting lawsuit coming up.

Gee, you go out for a few hours and the Qwerty Fan Club pours through the door!

Just had a good read of the thread Qwerty - seems like you have a lot of angry supporters.

I agree with Chainsaw, now how about a trip report

Ref: http://www.auf.asn.au RA Aus Operations Manual

Section 2.01.1

No person shall act as Pilot -in-command of a recreational aircraft operated under the provisions of CAOs 95.10, 96.32 (RA-Aus Registration) or 95.55 or any relevant legislation as amended from time to time, unless that person:

(a) is the holder of a valid RA Aus Student Pilot or higher level Certificate, as listed in section 2.05, issued or recognised by the RA Aus.

..and it goes on, but that's the part we're talking about.

So I guess the operative word is "recognised"

Haven't had time to check whether a PPL, with suitable endorsement for the aircraft, is recognised by RA Aus

Hi DJ, what is the situation for a PPL endorsed on an RA aircraft?

Human Factors strike when you least expect it.

What a sad loss to aviation Ken.

But now we want the famous stories Qwerty
