    Glen, with respect, I think you are going into this W&B thing far too deeply. When you start your flying read the POH for the Aircraft you are operating, and go through some loading scenarios with your Instructor. Dont overcomplicate with in depth mathematical formulas or you will find your Instructor might get fed up fairly quickly. By all means, read up to your hearts content, but i believe you are going way beyond whats necessary in understanding basic loading stuff. Just enjoy your flying!!

    Yes my JPI FS450 instrument does all that plus gives me rate of usage, fuel remaining etc. Easy to set up and interpret.

    You cannot see the fuel level in the Wing tanks on my J170. Since I am the only Pilot, and am hangared, I always know my fuel state, but still have 3 ways of checking. Analogue float gauges at the Wing Roots Electrical sender gauges on the Panel in front of me and A JPI Fuel Scanner instrument which is very accurate within a couple of Litres at each refuelling. The first 2 items were standard equipment when the Aircraft was built at the Factory.

    I think the Class 2 Med is because that training organisation operates in a CTA zone.

    Hey Bruce, I am confused by all the technical talk going on in this thread. My Jabiru J170 has the standard Odyssey PC625 Battery and Jab factory Voltage Regulator. Any cause for concern?.....never had any issues!

    And dont forget the dreaded ASIC if you want to operate into a Security Controlled Airport like Canberra!
  8. Roscoe
    Correct, plus the medical.

    If you start with RAA, I believe you have to join as a temporary member for a short period. Talk to an RAA School to confirm, or ring RAA. Your other queries i cant help with, thats your call. With GA , you will need an ARN number which you can do online,if you go the GA route to start.

    Welcome Glen You realise you will need a PPL and Class 2 or Basic Med Medical Cert to operate in Controlled Airspace This is in addition to your RAA Cert

    I mean the air they have displaced just moves around without affecting total weight
  18. Roscoe
    The weight doesnt change because the air under their wings is deflected downwards to the floor so overall weight unchanged

    You can always turn the bluetooth off so you wont be disturbed, and turn it back on if you have to make a call. There have been situations in Controlled Airspace where Comm failures have occurred and its handy to have the Tower number stored.

    I actually have the 18 month one. Cost about $20. Done lots of flights since installed Aug last year. I check it regularly in flight. The one in the photo only lasts a couple of months and costs USD$5.

    I wonder how accurate these things really are!
