    On another thread - see case 1 below (and others) - you read comments that RAA have various legal issues and claims I am personally unaware of such matters other than reading case 1 below ...................... Is it possible that we can have a rough idea of the circumstance - either: - a description of the issue and being vague of the incident - a description of the incident and being vague of the issue - etc can we discuss these various matters (probably vaguely) Case in point: case 1 - https://www.recreationalflying.com/forums/topic/38545-small-plane-missing-victoria-180922/page/8/

    the licensors actions (RAA) have to be held too account - that is the licensors risk & justification in charging those regular annual fees - whether its a person or a plane ..................... (some heavy ones (planes) in RAA I believe) that is what the parties; that have suffered a loss; are trying to extract consider if the pilot had no next of kin (a loner or a hermit with a flying bug) .................. the lawyer firm would never have been contacted ............. this discussion would have probably never taken place ..................... an irony there

    many years ago - me & ross took a C152 up and did some mountain and valley flying using clouds as the terrain - probably + 3500 feet - we both had about 150 hrs each ross was a confident hang glider pilot as well anyway, i'd be guessing in a tighter turn (ross as PIC) and slower speed (its a memory after 40 years) ............ ye olde C152 fell out of the turn / shook / fluttered / and pointed to the ground it was a total loss of control if you can say that about a stall - we looked at each other with understanding and continued flying - ignoring more cloud mountain and valley flying - we had unintentinally practised what we had been preached (at height .............. ignoring staying clear of clouds ............ of course)

    to true BrendAn great to hear past knowledge and experience - and also the posts from posters that don't have anything of that (include myself here) - all should be able to participate - without fear of ye rock hitting ye scone ironically some organisation (etc) don't want to know about past knowledge and experience - it's all disregarged and you just have to follow the new leader (sometimes over same ground that's bad)

    could be a positive side to this Brendan ............... your aviation skills are so good that the instructor had to find something obscure to demonstrate their dominance or perhaps in reverse - the instrucrors skills are so bad that ............. stick with it - I reckon I would had 4 or 5 instructurs to solo - its good seeing the different styles and the chaff from the wheat

    in the appendix of a book I just started reading - comment from local topdressing pilot 'my throne, a cockpit' his comments re R Pearce:

    assuming that is a verbal arrangement / agreement with RAA ........................... or is there written text from RAA that explains / supports this
  18. johnm
    Unusual how there is no printed protocol from RAA on this subject It always seems to be a phone discussion with RAA .................. why not some clarity - with options (if any) Same with 'on conditon' - what does that mean .............. plus intitial documents .............. & initial and annual rego costs Is this a new modus operandi for RAA ??????????? (new being say the last few years) a lot of 24 registered planes are - or will be - in this boat

    looks like both pilots were fixated on both their own direction of travel lucky the helicoter looked right

    thanks FV - I'd like to see more on this requirment of aircraft registration - is there a printed RAA policy / protocol on this ? (prior to say 2023 / 24 a 24 - 0000 aircraft could remain 24 - 0000 (with a time expired engine - as long as it was not hired or used for training) ................ but now things seem to have changed ?)
  23. johnm
    what type of aircrfat rego is it ...................... a 19 - 0000 or a 24 - 0000 I'm hearing that if its a 24 - 0000 (factory built) and the motor is time expired - then it has to go to 19 - 0000 rego that's my ruff understanding of it ?
  24. johnm
    what about ferreting around aviation museums ........... even volunteering the old hands there (where ever there is) should be able to point you in the right direction ? ........................ probably an obvious suggestion https://visitbirmingham.com/listing/midland-air-museum/137221101/
