  1. My (albeit limited) knowledge of insurers is that as soon as they face a large payout they will deny liability and tell the insured to pass on all letters of demand (which they will then lose or deny receiving them - standard procedures). The insurer then tells the claimants to start legal proceedings against the insured before they will even acknowledge the claim exists, and in phone calls to the claimants they will hint that they will drag out the legal process for years, but "we could settle for 10% of your claim with a confidentiality agreement". I attended a worker's comp insurance seminar (run by our insurer but using a training company) and they explained in great detail how the insurance industry would process all claims made upon them, My notes - "Never accept liability, lose the claim, resubmit claim, ask for expensive medical reports by Dr XXX, lose all the reports and blame the claimant, attempt to bankrupt claimant, appeal any court settlement".
  2. Depends which side of the city you will be living and how far you want to travel. I like flying out of Gympie (hour and a half North of Brisbane) with the Recreational Flying Company, good selection of RAAus aircraft, very helpful and professional instructors also PPL and CPL aircraft I think - but I dont fly them so dont take much notice :( . Open 7 days a week which is an advantage for me. Great area as its clear of controlled airspace under about 8500', although a lot a helicopter training activity in the area, and Gympie can get busy at times. Closer in to Brisbane and you get tied up with controlled and restricted airspace. Plenty of other small airfields and easy access to the Cooloolah and Fraser Coasts - saw a pod of whales on Thursday South of Double Island Point.
  3. Just after the collective wisdom about syndicates, the good, the bad and the downright ugly. What to watch out for, how did you do any due diligence, etc. Thanks in advance
  4. Bit late onto this discussion, ABC RN has a podcast entitled "Small airports in trouble" at Tiny airports struggling to survive A comment made by one interviewee is to always find out which councillor will benefit from the closure or limitation of use of a small airstrip and then make sure everyone else knows that - developers and councillors seem to have the same interests. Gympie AP is struggling with the council at present, has all sorts of restrictions "no hovering allowed" for the helicopter school!!! I might have missed it in the previous messages but ICAO lists YHAZ? What's with that and restrictions on its use?
