Curious... just what are the legalities of landing on a beach? I would love to give it a try but I have no idea what is or is not allowed. I suppose public beaches, state parts and national parks might all be different? And God help us if local councils have a say!

https://www.npsr.qld.gov.au/policies/pdf/op-pk-vm-landing-recreational-craft-qpws-managed-areas.pdf

Aircraft and recreational craft landings to be authorised Aircraft and recreational craft may only land in:

• protected areas (State land) authorised (except on a designated landing area) by a Permit to land aircraft or use recreational craft.

• recreation areas authorised (where supported) by way of a written approval from the Chief Executive or the Queensland Recreation Areas Management Board respectively.

• State forests and forest reserves authorised (where supported) by way of a permit under the Forestry Act 1959.

Aircraft landings – general

Due to potential issues and impacts, aircraft landings in QPWS managed areas are discouraged. Only in exceptional circumstances - and only where it is demonstrably in the public interest to do so - will landings be authorised. Landings may however be authorised at existing constructed aircraft landing areas that meet certain statutory requirements and other guidelines (see below) and are subject to appropriate maintenance programs.

I don’t have someone who can attend of my behalf. I’ve sent you my form though.

I’m a little confused here.“Freedom to Fly” has suddenly become a concern to RecAus someone tell me why?

I just tried his website it doesn’t work :(

My magazine also arrived today. The closing date is 28th of September, seems like plenty of time!I will be carefully reading the candidate statements and be considering which of these candidates may best represent my interests. My own personal experience of flying RAAus has been mostly positive, but this perhaps is coloured by the fact that I only hire and do not own an aircraft.

 

I understand that some people are pessimistic and angry. Although I am reasonably happy with my flying pursuits I am always open-minded and if those who feel things are going downhill I would clearly and rationally present their case and if at least some of them would stand for election I would certainly weigh up their arguments and perhaps even consider voting for them, but this will never happen.

I hope you are having a great trip, loving the photo’s make sure you all start posting more. check with the resort to see if they can offer transfers.

Plus it’s only $55 landing for under 5700kg, inc first 24h landing, not that bad given the cost of accom etc.

They really are lovely to fly  Is that an early one with the straight wing? Is it an Archer? There’s no way on Earth any of the three 160hp Warriors I’ve flown would get to 120 ktas!

It’s a Cherokee 140, though it has 160hp pistons. The main reason is the coarse prop. I regularly get 115/120 ktas @ 75%. However the climb and take off are to be watched.

A beautiful day for flying today, I had a delayed start waiting for the fuel truck, then he ran out of fuel so he had to go back to fill up. This gave me plenty of time to relax "inside" the plane as it was still a bit cool. I wanted to put my new D2 Charlie into action, had a flight plan from AvPlan across to it and the iPad Pro 10.5 on the yoke.

After getting fuel I was off. Left YBAF  a very nice smooth day and was TAS @ 120knot. An average GS of 194.6kph and a short 100km 30min flight to YCDR.

Arriving at YCDR I joined a downwind as there were a few others in the circuit, had to slow her up a bit and extend downwind for a couple of other aircraft. A perfect touch down on 23, backtracked 30 slightly as the aircraft that landed just before I did, went into 12 to allow a waiting aircraft to take off (courteous piloting).

I was then happy to show the flight school that I did my RAA flying at our pride and joy.

It had to be a short stay as I had work to do in the afternoon, so I took back to the skies. Once again a nice quick trip back to YBAF with yet another landing by the numbers, get my taxi clearance and then tie her back down and head back home. I am really loving this beautiful little Piper.

Same as Brisbane, I would say land at YBAF(Archerfield) or YRED(Redcliffe).

For the RPL you will need, an ARN, English proficiency test, 2h of hood time, with 1h being in an aircraft, at least 5h PIC Nav, as Canberra takes rpt you will need a ASIC card. You will need a Medical and then submit the CASA Form 61-1RTX. Then you will just need to do a Flight review and you should be able to include the Controlled Airspace and towered aerodrome as part of it,.

You need to have RPL (with CTA/CTR) or PPL/CPL plus a radio and transponder. Then you can request to fly in.

Here is 9’s report this morning with helicopter video:

Light plane crash at Redcliffe airport - 9News

Bula from Fiji I am based out of Pacific Harbour Air Park, on the South East coast of the main island of Viti Levu in Fiji. Pacific Harbour is known as the "adventure capital" of Fiji as it boasts a wide range of activities ranging from shark feeding to zip lining and river rafting; and makes for great flying.

We operate an Aero Club for pilots (as well as non-pilots) to become either part-time or full-time members and extend our invitation to overseas light sports aircraft pilots, to visit our club and have full access to our facilities and services.

 

If you are an overseas light sports aircraft pilot visiting Fiji, you can get in touch with me and even hire an aircraft for sightseeing and enjoy Fiji's beautiful scenery whether it be flying over tropical jungles or over breathtaking turqoise waters, coral reefs and white sandy beaches.

 

Hope to hear from you soon!

Damn - just saw this was a very old thread being dug up.

Does anyone use an iphone 7+ or 8+ for ozrunways?How do you find the screen size? I hate having clutter or multiple “gadgets” in the cockpit and don’t want to buy an ipad if the phone will do the job.

Mainly in a 172 and PA28R

Thank you! I just might take you up on that come September!As for ASIC, I have called two other ASIC issuers and they have both said that my "Holiday Flying on a CoV" plan should be sufficient for meeting the "Operational Need" requirement of the ASIC. Good news, I hope?

The problem for the ASIC is the in person interview to verify the person. See if you can find some way to get around it it: give these guys a call: Aviation Security Identification Cards as they might be able to talk you through it.

A beautiful day today in SEQ, after last weekends flight review in such crap weather it was a welcome change. Getting used to the radio calls for the controlled aerodrome. A few more flights and I will be continuing on my PPL next month.

Damn, I just bought an iCOM A-15 a month ago...

I used Aviation Security Identification Cards - very fast and efficient.

Yeah I loved landing the Sling 2at Orchid Beach, I thought $20 was a great price for the work they need to do for it. Very happy to fly there again, I also love taking the 4x4 Theresa it’s just such an amazing place.

Love it, well done

Redcliffe Aero Club does

I was very lucky yesterday and was able to take the PA28R-180 with my instructor from YCDR to YEVD for the Great eastern fly in at Evans Head. I still needed 1.1h or instrument time as part of my RPL Nav conversion so I got to do hood time there and back plus class c airspace on the way down and a Touch n go at YBAF on the way back.

There were some great looking aircraft there and a nice day of flying as well.
