  1. YCAB = caboolture. I guess outside the FIR it reverts from second letter to location.
  2. FYI: The latest aircraft geeks podcast has a great interview with a long service us ATC. Good episode.
  3. http://www.onawingandachair.org.au/davidjackabio.php David Jacka is a quadraplegic who flies. Might be best to get in touch with him for ideas. I know his disability is different but he may have the right contacts to help. Cheers, Shags
  4. Bad. Very Bad
  5. That's alright. I learnt at the Conservatorium for 6 years and still was outplayed by guys that were self taught. Kudos for still playing though. I haven't had the opportunity to pick it up for 12 years. They are sitting in a cupboard gathering dust.
  6. I think both pilots, particularly the Robinson, did well to recover after this.
  7. Do you play Sax as well Tomo? Must be a pilot thing...
  8. Used to carry the banner for the Catalina squadron in brisbane anzac day services each year. Since then I have had a love of amphibians. It breaks my heart to think how expensive they are, especially since all of the above is a deal breaker for me (yeah thanks nev ). Well that plus it's damn near impossible to get endorsed for one.
  9. What happened to the social media bar Ian? I was going to follow the twitter account from there :(
  10. Is there anyone you don't know tomo?
  11. Gold Coast AGM. If I am still in Brisbane I will be there... Push to stop flights over built up areas is concerning. I didn't even know this was happening. I really need to keep a little more up to date.
  12. Well if I were to do something like this it wouldn't be till I move to Melbourne so would need to find a new operator. Thanks for the tips guys. Will look into it. Cheers, Shags
  13. HI ALl, Just about to head off and seriously do my nav endo. Just curious, how would you go about renting an aircraft for a trip away? I can understand schools would be reluctant as they need to be concerned about ensuring profitability. But what if I want to fly from say melbourne to warwick on a friday, spend the weekend, then fly back to melbourne on the monday? Cheers, Shags
  14. I wish I could make them all... Maybe I will be able to make this one.
  15. Yeah but one is important Maj. The other one I guess is not so important..
  16. Brilliant as usual Owen.
  17. Very Schmick
  18. Basically same as the online exam. Similar interview to the phone one.
  19. I can't believe it's so hard to get training in it.
  20. I've been looking for a qld one...
  21. And thanks Pud.
  22. Best advice I can give is be patient. I applied in October ;)
  23. I was going to say money as well. Seems like a common theme here...
  24. Assessment Today. Not sure how I went (but then everyone was feeling doubtful so I guess it's made to be that way). Fingers crossed I suppose...
  25. Just went out there. Lady running it is lovely, Coffees are nice also. Definitely worth a visit.
