Need a hand with a passenger flight please
shags_j replied to shags_j's topic in AUS/NZ General Discussion
Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I think his birthday is in a week or two but we could make it for later in the month. I will get some dates and let you know. Thanks for the great response (that's why I love this site). I just wish I had been up recently enough to do it myself. Kind of disappointed. Cheers, Shags -
Hi All, A friend of mines grandfather is turning 70 and has always wanted to go up in a light aircraft. My mate wants to get him a ride in an aircraft. I haven't flown for over a year so wouldn't feel comfortable taking anyone up just yet (even after my passenger currency of 3 landings) so was wondering if anyone else would be willing to do this. My mate is more than happy to cover any costs etc. Says his grandfather would weigh about 80ish kg (so not overwweight or anything) and is fit (so shouldn't have a heartattack midflight). He is just looking for a 1hr flight in the brisbane region (YCAB to Jacobs well I guess). Cheers in advance, Shags

Where from Bob?

I've actually popped in to say hello. I need to do my Navs and was thinking of using them since they are so close. it's just hard cause I love the aircraft from Go Fly and the staff there are fantastic (I guess you get used to what you know...). I have no doubt the Pathfinder guys are also (i've heard from many). It's just a shame I live so damn far away from YCAB!

Hornet down in Townsville............

off topic: every time i see the thread title I think we had a raaf hornet go down. Continue... -
BTW: I know we've had the arguments on various of these forums over the years of whether RA shoudl go for CTA or not, surely this is a great alternative. Does it really matter if RAAus loses members? Surely a bit of competition can only be good for the consumer?

I wanted the easier to obtain recreational license but the ability to go for a fly without driving for over an hour (to my nearest non cta airstrip). I'm cool with a class 2 medical, but I believe the RA license will have a lower flight time requirement. The most important part for this is approval for CTA. Point is, if I want to fly in CTA, I need CASA licensing, why would I maintain my RA at the same time (unless I want and RA Aircraft). Just my thinking at the moment. I guess I don't have to make my mind up till much later. Admittedly I am looking into flying with Pathfinder Aviation instead of at YCAB (but I hate jabs!) which will be a lot easier for me but I must admit I am not sure of what their hirees are or aren't able to do within the CTA (ie. once checked out on their aircraft can I rent them and head off anywhere, only entering CTA at YBAF, asuming i have XC endo of course?).

Like I said in my review, I think the realism is similar to that os FSX. I find the graphics the same etc. Down point is a serious lack of any sort of extra aircraft, and as Ian posted int he review, no helicopters, no jetliners etc. I'm sure they will come out later, if you are willing to fork out $10 per aircraft. For a free game, I can see myself playing occasionally. For real flight characteristics, stick with Real Flight. For more fun mission type stuff, wait for World of Warplanes to come out (will be awesome!).

Sorry Pete, Which one do you have? I am sort of slowly hunting fo rthe right aircraft.

Well it's out guys. Check out my blog for my views. Definitely worth a download.

Controlled airspace is a win for me. I will drop ra in a heartbeat for CTA.

Xair looks a bit squishy. How is it inside on long distance?

I look at them ay ycab and have a laugh. They are just not right.

@Chris: Thanks for asking. Had my assessment day a month ago. Still waiting to hear from them. I didn't do anywhere near as well as I know I could on the assessment day. If I don't get in I will be kicking myself.

Suffice to say we have a large bysection of occupations. Is great to see.

<---- SMSF accountant. Interestingly the developer of the Gatton airpark is a client as well as a number of owner builders. Hopefully though soon to be ATC...

Reading that article again it woudl be great to be able to be at Watts Bridge to see it fly for the first time.

Looks like a fun little machine.

This is one of the things that has stopped me from buying my own. Living
