  1. Got the following in a reply to my 'cost recovery' submission: CASA has reviewed all of the feedback received from the aviation community and, in listening to these concerns, CASA has decided to delay the introduction of the flight crew licencing regulatory fees until further notice.
  2. That'll confuse them in Cannock!
  3. Total absence of updates on either ABC or The West Australian. Very odd.
  4. https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/29648275/man-dies-in-ultralight-incident/ Heard the sirens, then saw the news choppers later.
  5. Useful link for those thinking of posting funny English street and town names: http://www.anglotopia.net/ultimate-list-of-funny-british-place-names/
  6. I pushed a motorbike for close to 20 miles through Cannock Chase many years ago; I hate the bloody place!
  7. Yes its essential to be a total pain and they might do something just to get rid of you. The silent majority will always be ignored in favour of the argumentative minority. Write lots of letters and follow up with phone calls. After all look at the attention a self-publicist like D'head Smith gets - they even put him in charge for a short time.
  8. Agree, we definitely need some lift.
  9. You're obviously moving in the wrong circles these days
  10. Seems they don't want to share: Access Denied Description: You are not allowed to access the document you requested.
  11. Tried the iPad Air with OzRunways, seems to function fine, although that's only on the ground so far. Next the iPad mini.....
  12. gf should only fiddle with certain things
  13. I don't know about that. Have you got a 307K per annum pension?
  14. Ditto. Seems to be running OK on an iPhone 6. Trying one of the iPads next. Haven't found anything to dislike (yet).
  15. I reckon I could hear the sighs of relief on opening the box from here.
  16. Also made to look worse by camera foreshortening.
  17. Yes, money is on a wet start.
  18. Just about sums up the superficial crap that is Faeces Book.
  19. Might just as well throw up a wall of cheap and long endurance drones with AAM.
  20. Also interesting are the claims that the find supports the supposed crash location, when the drift forecasts show it could have come from just about anywhere along the Indian Ocean's eastern boundary.
  21. Thanks for the confirmation.
  22. No sign of a fixed rudder trim tab in those photos, has rudder trim been installed?
  23. I recall watching a Vickers Vanguard (yes I'm that old) on a circuit detail apparently abort a 'touch and go'. Smoke and popping tyres all over the place. Seems that the handling pilot and check Captain missed that the brakes had been placed into the full-on position on downwind.
  24. Of course I would, what a strange question.
  25. No, a generalization.
