I was in Orlando three years ago and spoke to a number of substantial aircraft operations and the word was to move North during the summer/ cyclone season. Drifting a little, I was driving I40 about halfway East to West, in I think April and was surprised to hear on the TV that the cyclone season was late in arriving that year.

Following my last, unfortunately Duxford will not be the venue for the flying legends airshow. Sywell is to be the new venue .

When the COVID is controlled, a max out is to visit the Royal international air tattoo (RIAT) then across to Duxford. IMO the best modern aircraft display in the world then the best warbird display in the world. We did this on the same weekend 2 years ago. Might just have to do it again before handing in my wings.

I believe that the safest route is from Wilson’s Prom, Flinders Island to Tassie. Maybe not able to land everywhere but ditching close to shore sounds better than ditching at sea. Not much of a diversion for you.

And so they should not try to name the brand of aircraft/truck/bus/mazda if they DONT know the facts.

The Kitfox 4-1050 and Kitfox4 1200 were specific Max weights when produced by Denney.

Later Kitfox 4s received a weight increase to540kg (1050 to 1200 lbs).

Maybe check the device battery. Limited life in them.

Sorry jackc my experience doesn’t accord with your view. There are different attitudes around.

I am not suggesting that LAMEs are a cure all nor to be mandated but they are a resource that could be used where appropriate. Pilots can’t fly all aircraft and LAMEs can’t service all aircraft. I have experienced ordinary servicing by LAMEs, L1s and L2 s as well. You can can only regulate so much.

It would be reasonable for RAA to create a technical membership for LAMEs at a reduced annual fee. This would allow a greater access to skilled services for the members who cannot effectively carry out servicing. As with GA instructors who have only a few RAA BFRs it is not economical to retain their RAA membership to provide this service.

Interesting that I am an anonymous contributor yet provided name and email.

The auction airframes have some substantial hours logged,(10-11k). How long has this school been operating?

Thanks, I have the operating manual but it does not have instructions for adding airport locators. I have added waypoints but would like the listing as an airport.

I have just bought another aircraft and it has a Garmin 695 fitted. The data base does not contain minor airfields such as YKTN. Can a member tell me how to add airfields to the device or give me a reference to where this is detailed? Thanks.

Bidding is at $60K with 2 days to go.

My 2000 model trike was originally registered with the HGFA with T2 prefix. The 2 relating to Seat capacity.

IPads without cellular data function don’t have GPS built in.

My first full river lasted just on 10 years spinning the Jabiru engine

I saw a trio of Airbus helicopters maybeAirbus 120 flying North over Emerald (Vic) today possibly from Microflite? Are they participating in the centenary or just doing another group thing ?

I haven’t received this survey yet. Is it a limited invitation? I received and completed the flying hours survey last week.

Anyone at CASA alive and looking.

Can anyone guide me to a list of the different staff at RAAUS with their area/s of responsibility. Today I spoke to a person (very helpful), from RAAUS but did not note their name. I cannot find a list to clear this up.

All paperwork has been available at Moorabbin with servicing up to date. An MR is provided for VH.
