10 you tube videos with crappy ass commentary.

I am now at the point of deciding if I continue with my membership to RA. I personally don't see any personal gain in continuing to fly with RA. The risks are too damn high these days (re: legal matter, groundings etc). Will probably just complete my ppl instead.
-
That's why this forum is here. For questions like this.not sure that'll affect me asking hypothetical question on an internet forum But surely there's something that could be retrofitted if the motivation is there? -
They are gorgeous. I still want one.

Can I just say.... I don't think targeting the board is necessarily correct. I think (correct me if i'm wrong) but the exec is more to blame for this. I know some on the board may even support what we are saying here.
-
I It seems to me from previous posts and from what I hear generally is that members of the board are urgently in need of a job discriptions. The board are responsible for the mess we find ourselves in and nobody else.
The board or the exec?

A big job that should never have needed to be done

Is there more than usual or am I tripping

Hi all,
I was thinking there seems to have been a huge number of accidents this year, in both ra and ga.
-
I can't believe that they didn't know this was going to happen. I believe we have a right to know why and what was done to rectify the cause before this happens.
-
That sounds awesome. Shame could never happen here. Fun police wouldn't like that.
-
Btw I've sent an internal air services Email with suggestions... Ie. Access without logging in etc
-
You are two years to early. I've always wanted one of these

Also Nong, is it really safe to just google Area 30 NOTAM? How can you be sure you were reading the latest one? Is this in the best interests of safety?This is a deliberate move to reduce air safety.In the past all one needed to do was google say, Area 30 NOTAM and it was all there.It is airservices fault that many more will now fly without having accessed the NOTAMS.
Safety info should be easy to find.
Airservices has failed.
Just some food for thought. I'm pretty sure AIP doesn't list Google as a sufficient source for pre-flight briefings.
-
Well obviously you weren't being lazy and the comment didn't apply to you. I wasn't directing to anyone in particular, just a general feeling I Got from the thread.
-
Understandable if you are unable to access pre-flight then no worries. But the system seems to be working now so surely this will not be necessary any more...

God, you're as sensationalistic as Ben Sandilands. You know that this is not the case. Poorly rolled out, maybe, but noone was sitting in ASA wondering how they could possibly reduce air safety. And spare a thought for the boys and girls in the en-route control room that are suffering from this also. The worst thing you could do is make their workload higher.This is a deliberate move to reduce air safety.Now if we stop the extremism... I accessed the briefing using my old login for the asa pilot briefing, quick update of my details and I was able to access all the info. Took all of 5 mins.
Anyone who sits there and says "Well I will just get it en-route cause I'm too lazy to log in" needs to have a long hard think about this. I think taking this route IS indeed a deliberate move to reduce air safety.
Shame to make this post my 1000th...

1. More dependant on aircraft capabilities than any legislation reuirement. That's why your ifr.
2. As someone has said you will have entered a flight plan. If in class D you will exit ad area using local instructions. If in G you will exit however you please and let ATC know (request tfc, Time of departure etc). Then we know you are there and can pass traffic and other information.
3. See 2.
4. I'll leave to an IFR pilot to answer.
Hope this helps. I think the most important thing here is that you have to have a flight plan lodged to fly IFR. That should clear up most of your questions.
-
What class airspace are we talking about so we can answer appropriately. Item 2 and 3 will depend.
-
There is a doco called Barnstorming. I am waiting for my copy to arrive. Looks really good.
-
And on the cost to fly.... Only expensive because most GA run old cessna's or tommohawks etc. I think more VH rego'd tecnams etc will be setup in the future (no reason not to) and the flying will be just as cheap. I believe there already are a number of these.
Of course if you own your own, surely the costs are the same?
-
So just to sum up so far...
Medical MAY be an issue to some people (those with diabetes). Anything else?
-
LOL. Yeah Ian. You need to upkeep the integrity of this forum
