This looks good, I’m wanting to try it.Whitsunday Airport - Airport Bookings

Once there, you can fly a number of places, including over most of the islands, Heart Reef and Whitehaven Beach.

So, it's a good runway to learn on?

Welcome aboard, and good luck with your medical. I'm spending a lot of time going backwards and forwards to Tyabb at the moment. My plane is based at Moorabbin and my partners very new plane is currently at Tyabb. Hence regular ferry flights. Seems like a really nice friendly airport and club.

I normally fly Friday arvos, when do you fly in, what do you fly, and what is your partner's plane?

as far as I'm aware, that would only hinder you if you were going for a RPL or PPL, but not necessarily RPC through RAAaus. If you are fit enough to drive a car you are fit enough to fly. However there are some conditions still that would be a problem and these are listed in the Ops Manual. You can find this manual on the RAAus websiteTony

Raised in Mornington myself, chased many a Pines girl back in the day though!

I actually play superules at the Pines footy ground :)

Just been for medical. May be a problem with sleep apnoea in the past ...

Same - enjoy, and welcome. Whereabouts in Victoria?

Hey MathewAll looks fun to me.

 

The quality of your GoPro recording is excellent. I assume you have a GoPro 4? How do you manage to get 70 mins recording in one video? My GoPro3 will only ever record 2 at most clips of 11m 39s each, then shuts down. This is VERY frustrating. I'd appreciate knowing your card size, settings, etc. Please PM me if you think this is too much of a thread drift.

 

Cheers

Bruce, google the problem on gopro forum, I found the 64gb card gave me the same problem, and it was fixed with the 32gb card ...

Hi All

Thanks for acknowledgement :)

Sorry IBob, I had to google Foxbats, I wasn't sure what they were, so if they are prominent around here, I am oblivious. I am flying at Tyabb, we primarily have the 152 Cessnas which luckily handle some of the "not so great" landings pretty well...

I am looking forward to down the track doing more than circuits just so I can take a little time to enjoy the view, also looking forward to flying with the young bloke, At the same time, I am also aware it is important to get the training, get it right, etc

Will log on regularly and post.

Another newcomer ...

I had 5 hours of lessons 3 years ago, then stopped for a number of reasons.

Now back into it again at the ripe young age of 50, weekly lessons where I can and hoping to obtain cross country ticket eventually...

Bonus is my 17 YO son is also taking lessons :)
