Our airport at Tyabb (PAC) is under an aggressive attack by the local shire!

PAC has been operating for over 50+ years, is one of our much loved main attractions , hosts amazing events for the locals (ppl come from all over Australia to attend) & importantly is a place of employment for so many! Peninsula Aero Club is under a direct & blunt attack by the Mornington Peninsula Shire - on Monday this week, without warning or consultation, the club & other businesses on the airport grounds received letters from the shire to stop work!

"The Shire has raised concerns that it is unable to locate permits which allow the Club to continue to operate as it has been doing for more than 50 years."

These missing permits are believed to include those that allow:

• the use of the land as an Airport or Airfield
   
  
• the operation of the flying school
   
  
• a transport terminal
   
  
• a place of assembly
   
  
• a major sport and recreational facility
   
  
• a major events facility (the biennial air show)
   
  

Following quoted by PAC President Jack Vevers "If these stop-work notices were to be enforced it would mean a massive loss of jobs and damage to local families and surrounding businesses," Vevers said.

"This is a direct response to the continuous attacks from the anti-airport faction and the shire appears to be attempting to thwart the potential for these businesses to access their existing use rights.

"The shire’s approach has been bombastic to say the least, and in some instances over the past few weeks, may have been unlawful with regards to our permit applications.

"It is our contention that PAC has permits and rights to support all of these functions and we will be defending our rights of existence after more than 55 years."

I’ve done my conversion to Ga and CASA have sent me a license.

I understand that I have to do a flight review / test before I can exert the privilege,

chas anyone done this and can tell me what’s involved?

That was an option

What a Waste of Time and Money

Here's a YouTube clip of my Cheetah Landing,with about 45Ltr of fuel

As he stated, he has completed his pilot certificate and would like an instructor to check off / familiarize with his own aircraft

Tyabb (where I learned to fly in a Gazelle) instructors would not teach me in, nor help me with tailwheel conversion in my 19 aircraft. (some years ago). I only have brakes on the left hand position was given as the reason.... But a very experienced instructor at another airfield (Latrobe Valley) did teach me in my 19- taildragger. Willingly. So my advice is to ask around other airfields....

Exactly!

So I don’t have my passenger endorsement yet so I’m looking for an instructor

So I’ve just completed my pilot certificate and the instructors won’t check me off in my 19 built Plane. I’m based in Tyabb Vic.

Are there any instructors out there that will check me off in my Morgan Cheetah?

First Solo today!!!!

Whhhhhooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!

Ive been doing 2 per day, Morning and afternoon this week, button had 3 yesterday and on the 3rd I went backwards.

Yes the Both work

Screenshots had to resize

AHRS won't run as the secondary app but OZ Runways will in both landscape and portrait mode.

Which is a shame because you need the interactivity of OZ Runways

I have a 10.5" iPod pro what app do you want to use with Oz Runway and ill test it

Gee I wish I had taken you for a flight, you might have bought mine instead. LOL.lol

 

You can learn to fly in a 19 reg if you own it and if the flying school are willing to train you in it.

Thanks.

Morgan Cheetah 19 Reg, it has Dual Controls however as a 19 Reg I can't learn in it.

I went flying with a friend of mine.

Next thing you know Ive bought his plane.

one word "Addicted".

So now I'm learning to Fly.
