    Rich have a look at the CASA ON TRACK Website which details Class D procedures at various airports
  3. Roscoe
    Basically correct, each Class D has its own local procedures however and the ERSA should be your point of reference

    And Richard, please PM me if you want clarification of YSBK procedures.

    At Bankstown, you may descend and join final when using Rwy 11. Inbound via 2RN you will be told to report Warwick farm and via Prospect you will normally be told to report 3 miles.

    Hi all Does anybody know of a reputable Company that specialises in photographing Aircraft in flight? I am in the Sydney bason and would like some shots of my Aircraft with the Opera House/ Harbour Bridge in the background.

    Hi Paul, before i decided on the 500 I watched the promotional videos from Sportys Pilot shop and Aircraft Spruce. They indicated that an external Antenna was not necessary, and so I had the 500 fitted in my Jab panel at a slightly offset angle whereby i could connect an external antenna if necessary. Its been in the Panel now for 18 months and I have never had a drop out. The 500 is what Garmin calls the entry level Aera, and after looking at the 500 Vs the 510, I didnt think the extra money justified the cost of the 510, for features more suited to the USA than Australia. I am more than happy with the 500, no glare issues and easy to operate. Very easy to load flight plans and the touch screen system is intuiitive. I practiced at home in Simulator mode. The external Antenna is only about $25 USD I think, and should be available from any good Pilot suppy shop, and I carry one as back up only, its never been needed. My advice would be to have a look at Aircraft Spruce and Sportys Pilot shop. The one thing to make sure is that it comes with PACIFIC data base, but with the dollar dow, it may be quicker and about the same price to purchase locally from a Pilot shop in Australia. Hope this helps.

    Similarly, the C150 flaps extended to 40deg which caused an issue in the go around config. To. Address this, Cessna changed the setting to 30deg in the later C 152 series.

    Which mag are you talking about? AOPA Pilot or Sport Pilot?

    Hi Howard In those days the Pilot records were paper based, and would have been destroyed when the School closed.
  13. Roscoe
    Yes i agree. I had same problem and as soon as I changed battery, problem went away. Identical issue and symptoms to what has been described.

    Bruce, buy yourself a good quality ANR Headset and you will never look back. Upfront high cost but worth it over time!

    Ray is still there but doesn't personally instruct any more. Aminta is the CFI and she does the testing.

    Have alook at Clamback & Hennessy, next to the Control Tower. They use Piper Warriors for training, have been there for many years!

    Graham thanks for sharing the video. Too sophisticated for my needs but as you say, a similar price to the D2. I usually run it on the internal battery and always make sure its charged, as ive found that i get some radio interference when i plug it into the adapter on the panel. As i said, i am currently having no issues using the external antenna so hopefully, it will continue to perform satisfactorily. Regards.
  18. Roscoe
    Interesting. I watched a number of promotional videos demonstrating the D2 before I bought mine, and they were demonstrated in Piper Cubs, various Singles and Twins, so I don't believe they were only designed for Gliders. Since my last Post on this subject, I have been using mine in the Jab on battery power with the external antenna on the dash, with no issues, so touch wood, am hoping it continues to operate normally. It's supposed to work without the external antenna, but in view of past issues, I'm just leaving it connected as above. Regards.

    News reports state Cessna 182. 2 aboard, both ok

    Anjum- back to my Post #2. There seems to be a trend coming through by very experienced Pilots whereby shutting off the Mags on final is not a good idea. I agree with this. Now that you have the benefit of this knowledge, again i suggest that you sit down with your Instructor and throw it around with him. See what he says, and consider that in the light of all these Posts. Regards.
  21. Roscoe
    I think that you should be sitting down with your Instructor and going over the issues you have raised in this and other Posts Anjum.

    Thanks mate, this seems to sum it up pretty well and answers my question. I appreciate you providing this article.
