I don’t think it’s a case of Ra aus stay out. It’s only qualified and equipped aircraft.

Use Pilot Practice exams to help you study and their Facebook page as a help tool. Most I found use this for casa exams and get answers though other users.

Too late to go around is when the prop has been reshaped
Wouldn’t Prop be reshaped to Fine anyway as apart of final approach. Guess if you missed both checks prop and Gear it would be time to reconsider things.

Expecting a chopper to do that to me at that distance? I, for one, would not have done.
Post video viewing I'm a bit wiser though. Hoping others might be too.
Agreed!!!

A Pilot In Command has to be smart enough so set priorities to keep his passenger, himself and his aircraft safe first, and circling at 500' with an arm pointing and waving can bee seen clearly.
Always know your priorities

I have seen MTW on GAF recently, but not sure if that was on that day.
Yes that day

I can remember flying to an airport about 200 miles away and about 30 miles out I heard a Qlink flight saying the met condition was CAVOK
I didn't like the sound of CAVOK so diverted about 60 miles and sat there for 30 minutes then proceeded to intended destination - it was good flying weather ! ............................... (a little bit of paranoia can go a long way !)
I know what CAVOK means - should i happen to hear it again
Don’t get Paranoid….. that will get you in trouble

It is not that hard to learn MET acronyms, only patience and some practice is needed. The more you check the weather, the more you know..
To understand GAF, check this video
To decode TAF, you can tap in your EFB and it will decode for you (the screenshot below is from AvPlan)
Finally, if you come across the "tricky" TAF/GAF feel free to post it, I am sure everyone would help.
Still pretty chilly there then

Wonder if he got caught up in a mountain wave?

Once you have the Certificate you have it indefinitely unless medically unfit. You need to be a Member to fly if Membership is expired you can rejoin the Association. BFR required as normal.

I think it's because by the time you realise you need to move, it's too late...
And mountains and clouds don’t mix

Twin engine endorsement?

Thanks Ross always good to view this content. The main thing I take from this is to worry about the shape of it airborne given all the other factors are in place before hand.

Thanks Thexder for the update, it's very rare that we actually get eye witness accounts.
I had wondered how he got where he was, from the photos and google maps it looks like he was off the east side of the strip only half way down, ie there was plenty of runway left to land on.
Good news is the pilot is OK, actually that's great news.
We've all made mistakes and this is one of those swiss chees ones, where if you make enough mistakes, they line up and bite you in the end.
I've got a nice bit of video footage of a take off I did in the Sportstar with a 45 deg 25kt cross wind from the left. The plane just wanted to turn left despite full right rudder, it was a poor choice of runway in hindsight as I could have chosen the other cross runway with 45 deg crosswind from the right.
But I managed to make some good decisions during the take off roll and got us airborne - but a better decision would have been to abort and have another think about it.
There are alwys things we can learn from and do better next time.
Hopefully this pilot learns from this and does better next time.
I wonder Ross if you could post that video. Would like to see that being a low wing aircraft. Cheers Andy

The youtuber, as far as i can tell, has simply made it up, in an effort to garner views... there is no adsb data available for todays flight from what I can tell. The last adsb data available for WMM (that i can find) is from the 17/10. In saying that, its possible, although i'm not sure if it is the done thing, that the ATSB has contacted the many adsb sites and requested the data to be purged after the fact.
Regardless, it's very poor form of the youtuber to put out a simulation on the day of this happening!
Exactly what I thought
