I know it doesn't help the dilemma of a local flight...and I would hate to sound like a legal eagle (because I'm definitely not), but just wanted to mention/remind in case anyone had forgotten that the AIP ENR does mention that a PIC must provide for an alternate aerodrome if the crosswind or downwind component exceeds the maximum for the aircraft...like people have said it would be hard for an insurer to prove he magnitude of a crosswind...just thought I would note the point for anyone who was not aware...it would be good to know what the legality/weight of the term "demonstrated" brings to an insurance claim...not sure if it was stated earlier.

Further to Micks comment on Gladstone...any more idea when the sport star will find a home in Gladstone? Also any reason why the Gladstone aero club page isn't available, will it be back again soon? And on the topic of this thread is there anyone around in the Gladstone and wider area who consideres private hire of aircraft both RA and GA? More than happy to do check rides and hours to full fill any requirements.

G'day, I am looking to do a conversion to GA also...I am a low hours RA-AUS member with Nav. endorsement...does anyone have an insight into what RA members tend to find the hardest to adapt to or learn when transitioning?

Nice to be here... Recreational low hours pilot, recently endorsed Australia.
