Another possibility is that if you are having problems keeping a track without A/P The spats will cause the (washing machine ride) The A/P is constantly trying to adjust. Hands off flying and adjust spats to fix. Remove spats to see if this is the problem, if no difference then disregard this post. Been there myself, took a while for the penny to drop Phil

Hi Comp Not a problem. There will be transport available for all who want to get to town and back, just let your needs known when registering.

If you have accommodation problems Kerrie has a list of available B and B's etc. refer to flyer or website Hope to meet you on the 13th Regards Phil .

Been to most of these places. My advice would be...Contact Renmark and Arkaroola re fuel. Oondadatta has a call out fee on top of the expensive fuel (not a problem for some) You will need an ASIC card for Birdsville. White Cliffs NSW is a good stop, hotel will pick up and organise fuel. Cadney park roadhouse with accomodation and fuel is a good stop up that way. Port Pirie has Visa card fuel. Have a good trip Phil.

Preperations are in full swing. Stay for the fantastic hanger dinner if possible. Transport to town and back if required. Looking forward to meeting past and new visitors. The new club house and surrounds are a credit to the small club members. Ctaf code to enter if passing through, usual cold drinks, tea and coffee etc. Phil

Finally got to get home today, a bit tricky around Kilroy, Gatton. Bob from Dalby in his Pioneer blasted the way. Waved cherrio near Toowoomba Thanks again Bob Worth the effort as you don't get tail winds all the way to SA from Caloundra very often

I get to naips and area briefing ok but that's as far as I can go. Guess I need a lesson to get further. PC is a breeze, just the iPad Thanks got the reply Phil.

What Aussie challengers are there for the Jabiru?
Jabiru Phil replied to old man emu's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Don't want a flying school plane thanks. Just a touring a/c that has a good range, cruise speed,luggage space and comfort. That why I adore my J230 -
Good point. By the way is it possible to get on iPad? No way that I can see to enter "cntl A" etc. May just be my ignorance. Phil.

aircraft crash in melbourne?

I remember a forum discussing this a while back I wrote a short reply relating to the judging of gliding distance to landing area. Try this. Pick a spot on the spars, or in low wing aircraft ,the wing tip or similar when you have this point established, just pick any landing area in a circle under this mark. Higher you are the wider the circle. And visa versa My mark is just under the pitot tube on the right strut. Allowances must be made for pilot height, cushions etc. also a slightly lower point if heading into the wind. Really works, takes the "will I make it scenario" out of the equation. I have to agree with the previous comments, all good with practise. Phil.

Hi Compulsion, Thanks for the contact. I flew up to the Sunshine Coast last week for a month of libation, surf, debauchery and golf. The guys at Loxton usually have a BBQ Sunday's, with an permanent lunch date every third Sunday of the month. This coincides with Renmark Breakfast on the same day. The bird scarers will be using the airways for a few weeks yet. They are very good and work below 500' radio contact to avoid conflict. Council have just regraded 08/26 17/35 was very rough when I left. Guess that they are waiting for rain. No issues flying in. ctaf code on rear clubhouse door. Cold drinks, coffee etc Cheers Phil.

Rong You never mentioned William Creek or Oondadatta where a premium price is justified ??? Take your check book there.
-
Prices for a gas at the places you mention are all around $2.30 to $2.40 ltr. I don't worry about prices in the out back, they deserve a fair price for just being there. Tibooburra could be more expensive due to call out fee

QNH is only given for three hours

Gazelle missing at Ycab
Jabiru Phil replied to Kyle Communications's topic in Aircraft Incidents and Accidents
Can't help but post a comment as I flew over Beerburrum enroute to Caloundra at 1500' last Thursday morning from S A. Plenty of pine forests on both sides of my course, small muddy paddocks only for engine failure. So sad to hear the terrible result. I wished I had more height but cloud was the limiting factor to stay VFR. Not a lot of options there I M H O RIP
