    i always join crosswind... But given the way I join crosswind and I use the "Joining Crosswind runway xx" in the same way as the "long" downwind I would be inclined to use the same terminology.

    Perhaps Slarti can shed some light on this?

    Does he have a couple of those pitts all looking the same? I've seen this one (a pic I took at the amberley airshow 2008):

    Yeah buy an iphone 4, get the features that other phones have had for years... N900 comes out soon. Will be probably the best smartphone ever produced.

    Or the new postsequential alphanumeric radio sets that are required for all aircraft.

    Doesn't bear thinking about.

    Ozzie: MY first three schools were GA schools and I was taught to always keep hand on throttle there. This isn't a sylabus issue so much as an individual instructor thing. IN saying that I haven't done navs in either type yet (GA or ra). Guess your not going to keep it there the whole time on a long flight.

    Wasn't it just. Amazed when everyone took off on 24 to go to Gatton (when there was no wind, i'm sure runway 24 is not to be used for takeoffs). Then when I returned windsock pointing right at 24 and everone was on 30. Saw Someone change to 24 so I landed, taxiied then started circuits on 24. Amazing how something that is a little strange happens and no one wants to adjust...

    In the many schools int he many different type of aircraft I have flown, they ALWAYS been insistent that you have your hand on the throttle at all times.

    Tomo's right. whenever they tak about stalls they always make it clear that they are not talking about engine stalls.

    Have you contacted RAAus about this?

    I know I posted this a while ago... Was doing circuits at caboolture one day. Was turned base when a meatbomber entered the runway to line up. I turned final and it was still there. All my radio calls were right etc. Even did a short final call (just to make sure). I had decided to go around but all the radio chatter in the area hadn't allowed me to make the call. Just before I crossed the threshold the cessna gave a rolling call! Scared the crappers out of me. I jumped on the radio and told them not too. Went around ok and everything was fine. Had a few thoughts about the whole situation. I should have made a radio directed to the aircraft. From her part of view it's like the human factors training. She turned up, went to start the aircraft, just before runup someone from the jump school told her that she hadn't contacted brisbane tower to inform them of the jump. So with a full plane she had to stop, go out and make the phone call, come back. Aircraft wouldn't start when she came back. So by the time she had taxi'd out she had had a lot go wrong and didn't have her mind clear and 100% on the job.

    Absolutely spectacular day. Was an awesome flight up to caloundra and back.

    Not very good at taking photo's but took this on Sunday. Figured half the fund of flying is getting to the airfield early on a winter morning, enjoying a coffee and watching the sunrise.

    We're not fooled Alley. Magic marker on the mirror doesn't actually change your hair colour, you know that don't you?

    Just because you are not currently flying does not mean you are not an enthusiast and more than welcome around here. I too will be joining the grounded squad as my (hopefully) new home will mean I can no longer afford to fly for a bit.

    Gotta admit I've looked at one and thought I wish.
  25. shags_j
    yeah, not sure you found it though...
