    No the Airfield Owners CHOSE to use them and have a responsibility for how they behave in the way users are dealt with at the end of the day. They generally don't care as long as they get their money and think they can wipe their hands of the Matter. Easy way out for them. What IF they employed "Strong arm " Merchants? AVDATA is not squeaky clean with their methods and there's TOO many Mistakes for whatever the reason it should not be the Customers Problem who has NO Choice. What's the POINT of tackling the Airfield owners when you were NEVER within 500 miles of the Places you are being billed for? Nev

    The Current USA Gov't have to accept FULL responsibility for the way they have "chosen" to treat former loyal allies and broken existing agreements, unilaterally Them's the facts of the Matter. Nev

    AVDATA are a Monopoly debt collecting show that profits from getting the Money for the Aerodrome Operator but you should be offered an alternative way to pay DIRECT, and reduce the cost to you. I suggest this situation is ILLEGAL and should be tested. Aircraft operators have Never signed a consent form with AVDATA. They don't listen to your statement that the Plane couldn't be yours. Make a STAT Declaration , Don't PAY THEM and let them charge you for Perjury. Nev

    For Low level aeros, you use QFE which reads zero when on the ground. AVALON has an elevation of 35 feet AMSL Nev

    92 was the first year at Avalon. There would have been airshows at other Places before then. Pt Cook . I think I can recall going there and Williamstown NSW and Richmond NSW.

    Yes that's a typo. It was called Airshows Down Under at one stage. First time at AVALON, 1992 , Was nearly washed out. the Last time I went I flew my Citabria in. I Followed a "Black" Catalina that I could almost keep up with. Nev

    Probably would have cleared the ground on a "cooler" day An incorrectly set altimeter can cause this. ATSB are investigating. Hope the Pilot recovers OK. Nev

    Called "Diesel on Gas" Added more Power and probably needed a bigger radiator. Cleaner burning. Nev

    I would NOT advise that, though I understand the anger. Nev

    No you are not, but what Maintenance is associated with the airspace? In CTA you are using paid People so can be justified. Nev

    RV's have gone right into this. I think it mostly relates to Flutter. Roughly the True Airspeed is +20 at 10,000 Ft Nev

    I think ALL are welcome, but Ultralights will never be pre eminent. NATFLY doesn't have HEAVIES, nor should it. Nev

    Normally by today I would have had a lot of "Interesting planes fly over HERE on their way. Not ONE so far. Something's different. Nev

    In the 70's I got a free (industry) pass for the times I went there. I recall on one occasion Lots of Jabiru's flew in and one time about 4 of them bent their nosewheels as they were "asked" to do a landing involving a downwind component, Not realising they could/ should have requested a landing into wind. A bit over awed with the situation? Nev

    Why not? Roads get washed out. Remote places, by Rail to nearest Point. Nev t

    Use Electrified Rail Haulage. Unload at night. Nev

    There may also Be Nitrous Oxides produced with WATER. Also depends on the energy the grid is fed by. Nev

    Balloons don't have airspeed unless they have propulsion. Their groundspeed equals the winds speed/ Velocity Speed and direction. Your stall speed will stay the same (indicated) as you go higher but your actual speed through the Air will increase approx 2 kts/1000 feet. Nev
