Anyone know who the pilots are?

This is some great tips for those doing their navs! Will definitely print this out and re-read it.

I would love to learn TW. Anyone know any good schools around brisbane that I can learn from?

Also didn't the skycather have a lot of issues with spins in their design process. I'm sure their all fixed now but still, wouldn't mind waiting it out to make sure all is good.

Look the Jab is the more discount aircraft. I think a more fair comparison should be between say a tecnam, texan orf lightwing or whatever...

These are great. Good to get a smile early in the morning.

Damn gonna have to find some money for conversion...

I wanna go flying :(

I reckon that taxi way put him in the air, probably caught him unawares and I think he did well to keep it only as high as he did. Good to see the damage only appeared minimal. Beautiful aircraft. I want one!

Perhaps this is a question for the Ops Manager? Just to get an official clarification of what is required. We need to make sure that we keep seperate what is required to what we each believe should be done.

Hmmmm. Is David Isaac Prof Avius??? (Just stirring). We all know what he would recommend.

I believe touch and go's are ok. I have heard from around a couple of flight schools that if your pax is not up to date, just do a few circuits, then take your pax up. Though I'm no guru on this topic (so why am I posting this???)

If he's giving advice to instructors, surely he is an instructor. Just one more thing we don't know about prov avius.

Phenominal! Will post pictures tonight. Great turnout to watch them also.

Did anyone notice there were two aircraft incidents involving students in fist or second solo in this months Pilot Mag. Sorry, back on topic.

An event not to be missed: Mass formation flypast of up to 20 Super Hornets this Friday 21 October by Royal Australian Air Force on Monday, 17 October 2011 at 23:31 There will be a mass formation flypast of up to 20 F/A-18F Super Hornets over the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, Brisbane and Ipswich, this Friday (21 Oct) as part of the welcoming ceremony for four new Super Hornets. The arrival of the four new aircraft completes the Australian Super Hornet fleet to 24 aircraft. Please join us on facebook to share your photos and comments on this historic day. Sixteen aircraft will depart RAAF Base Amberley between 10 am and 10.30 am and will fly in a loose formation to a point off North Stradbroke Island, where they will form up and fly south, crossing the coast at Southport before flying down the Gold Coast to Tweed Heads. The armada will then fly out to sea and reform at a point off the Sunshine Coast where it will join with the four new Super Hornets. The formation will fly south from Noosa Heads down the Sunshine Coast to Brisbane where it will then fly over the CBD en route to Ipswich and RAAF Amberley. It is expected to pass over the base at 11.30am. The formation will be accompanied at intervals by up to two Hawk Mk127 lead-in fighters. The final number of aircraft flying will depend on operational and training tasks for the aircraft. The mass formation flypast of up to 20 aircraft will be not only an historic event which may not be repeated, but an important training exercise for operational planners and aircrew. Note: The aircraft will fly at approximately 2000 feet (609 mtrs) and up to 350 knots (648 km/h). Times and locations may vary dependant on the weather. The final number of aircraft flying will depend on operational, training and maintenance for the aircraft. A more detailed itinerary is as follows: Outward leg including Gold Coast Up to 16 x F/A-18F Super Hornets 10.00 am 16 x F/A-18F Super Hornets commence their launch from RAAF Amberley. 1018 Springwood 1021 North Stradbroke Island 1023 South Stradbroke Island 1025 Southport 1026 Surfers Paradise 1026 Burleigh Heads 1027 Coolangatta (All times are QLD local times) 1028 Tweed Heads (All times are QLD local times) Sunshine Coast Up to 20 x F/A-18F Super Hornets 1104 Noosa Heads 1106 Coolum Beach 1107 Maroochydore 1108 Caloundra 1111 Bribie Island 1113 Redcliffe 1114 Fisherman’s Islands 1115 Manly 1116 Wellington Point 1117 Southern Tip Moreton Island 1119 St Helena Island Brisbane – Ipswich Up to 20 x F/A-18F Super Hornets following the Brisbane River 1120 Lytton 1121 Balmoral Hawthorne Kangaroo Point Botanic Gardens/Captain Cook Bridge 1122 Highgate Hill St Lucia Indooroopilly Kenmore 1123 Jindalee Moggill 1124 Ipswich

So we are having monthly articles by professor avius on fligth training for instructors. My questions is this. If this person is giving advice to instructors, should we at least know who it is or at the very least what makes he/she qualified to give advice to instructors? Just a thought.

Mine arrived last night! Yay.

Self managed superfund accountant (for now). Got my pilot certificate 2 years ago and trying to find the cash to get CPL.

This is all very strange.

Tommo knows everyone!

Still waiting

Anyone know if the magazine is profitable or not? If it is what sort of profit margin are we talking? Shoudl the magazine be breaking even in an attempt to recruit more members? Just some random questions I have had. I agree with OME on the content. I've not been interested in what is said for quite some time now.

Joining RA-Aus motivated me to lose 30kg. Now just gotta do it again :(

Well done to him. Makes me sad that I can't join :( They would all be fun machines!
