    I thought we were discussing Medicals? However, IF an RAA Pilot is trained, and the Aircraft is equipped, why deny access to CTA?? We assume that the RAA Pilot is fit and healthy like his GA Counterpart . RAA Pilots sign a declaration re medical standards and i don't see any trends showing RAA incidents or accidents solely due to med issues
  2. Roscoe
    Agree Col. If an RAA Pilot wants to go to Coffs, why not? Port Macquarie has RPT as well so is that a no go too? Where does one go?
  3. Roscoe
    I say again, show me the statistics that confirm that a trained RAA Pilot is more of a risk than a GA Pilot operating in Controlled Airspace.
  4. Roscoe
    Do you have any facts or statistics to support your argument that RAA Pilots are not medically fit to venture into Controlled Airspace? You are denying these Pilots access to holiday destinations such as Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, and Coffs Harbour because of the perceived risk of collision with an Airliner? If the Pilot is trained, and the Aircraft is equipped with Radio and Transponder, why can't he or she operate into a Towered Airport as is the case in America? Show me the facts regarding sudden incapacitation in the air resulting in death. I am aware of one such incident in the last 2o years and that was a GA Pilot with no history of Cardiac issues. Your argument also precludes these Pilots from operating into Bankstown and Moorabbin on a quiet weekday because of a perceived medical risk? Sorry, i don't agree.

    I've held an ASIC ever since they were introduced, and the only time i've been asked to show it was by a lady at the Airport Cafeteria who offered me a discount on a cup of coffee if i had one!!

    Got it thanks Kyle. Any comment on my email above regarding Solar charger?
  7. Roscoe
    Just worked out the photo upload process! This is a Solar Battery Charger i saw in a Auto Supply shop. I am not sure about the instruction on the box which talks about a controller so as not to overcharge the Battery? I run a 12v Odyssey PC625 in my Aircraft. Would appreciate advice if this Charger is suitable. Thanks guys.

    Hi Kyle Can you tell me the steps to post a photo to a thread? I seem to have lost the instructions that i had a few weeks ago. Thanks a lot.

    Hi Bernie can you give me a step by step guide on how to upload photos to forum posts? I'm ok with text and email but a bit lost with this website Thank you

    Hi Rich, what setting do you have on the Gopro lens view? 1080 wide seems to cover too much Cockpit so just asking what you use in your videos, thanks

    And i say again, I will get the train and leave when I like. I cannot understand being forced to hang around until 5pm and then deal with the multiple rushed departures and the added stress that ensues. If there was a window that allowed departures mid afternoon, I would fly in, but no way with the restrictions as promolgated.
  15. Roscoe
    G'day Rich, according to the website, air display times are 1030 to 1700 both days and any aircraft arriving after 0945 may be turned away .
  16. Roscoe
    I will take the train from Sydney. I would rather fly in but i cant understand why the Airport would be closed from 1030 to 1630. Surely there could be a window after lunch to give people who want to get away, an opportunity to leave and arrive before last light? And if the weather happens to turn, then again, people would want to leave while they can. A six hour airshow is too long in my opinion. Keep it shorter and sharp to maintain the publics interest. I think that the restrictions are a disincentive to a lot of Pilots, interested in others opinions.

    I have the same in my Jabiru 170, fitted by Jab Factory. Very happy with it, and their is a kit available from Garmin which connects to s portable gps giving you fuel etc to next waypoint. From memory, the FS 450 cost USD $549 from Aircraft Spruce in USA
  18. Roscoe
    I agree with dutchroll
  19. Roscoe
    I think all will be revealed later. I got my ASIC via the CASA authorized agency who i believe are st Merimbula, most GA Pilots do the same as far as i am aware. Let's wait and see!
  20. Roscoe
    I got discounted coffee at Sunshine Coast Airport recently!....hurray for my ASIC

    Just for the record, CVD Pilots were not permitted to operate at night until the late 70s early eighties i can't remember the exact dates. Then came along Dr Pape, himself a CVD Pilot, who lobbied hard on behalf of the hundreds of CVD Pilots, and the restriction was overturned thus allowing CVD Pilots virtually unrestricted operations, however the highest license one could gain was CPL. So no Airline prospect.
  22. Roscoe
    Gentlemen, I really think we need to look at the facts and not get stirred up on personal opinions. If CVD means COLOUR DEFECTIVE then you should be aware that CVD Pilots can operate at night, have COMMAND inst ratings and fly night VFR. I don't see what CVD has to do with this discussion
  23. Roscoe
    What is a CVD Pilot.?
  24. Roscoe
    Ian, I see no evidence of STRENGTHENING. I understand that their is a discussion paper out where they are looking at options and submissions from AOPA and RAA plus seeking info on current standards in the USA, NZ and U.K.
  25. Roscoe
    Ian do you have facts to support your last paragraph?
