  1. It seems that the office is now sending reminders that BFR or Medical are due in one month. That's really useful because it's so easy to lose track of time and BFR expired before realize it......

  2. Would it make sense to widen the criteria to include on-field (or nearby) accommodation that you need to pay for. 

     

    This map Airfields near Fuel, Pub and Food' pretty much does that already, l in that any pub will have accommodation or nearby. There is plenty of such accommodation available, which I do use sometimes when necessary.

     

    I'm seeking that free or near free really basic accommodation. Ideal would be an old caravan parked on the airfield. Just a dry bunk for overnight is all I seek.

    I realize all the restrictions on such, so I really applaud those airfields that find a way to do it anyhow.

  3. With increasing age, setting up camp and sleeping on the ground isn't as easy as it used to be, and in the vent of wet weather it sucks.... 

    There are several airfields that have basic accommodation on site. Coonamble, has a donga, South Grafton has a couple of bunks in the clubhouse, Broken Hill has similar, Yarram has similar very convenient for trips across the water. That's all I can think of right now but hopefully there are more.

     

    I reckon more airfields should make the effort to provide such a service. A disused donga is great, but even easier would be an old unregistered caravan.  Nothing fancy, just a couple of dry bunks at the right price.

     

    Please add others that you know about. If there are enough I will draw up a Google Map to make flight planning and sleeping comfort easier.
