In the Mail
Recieved two glossy brochures from DOTARS in the mail today.
They list some of the acceptable methods of securing aircraft (as mentiond before). I note that all the methods mentioned in the brocure and on the web site are visible from the outside of the aircraft.
At JT the common securing method in use is the Throttle lock. Not visible from the outside and not very obtrusive, but apparently suitable and working.
So don't assume because you can't see a lock one is not fitted.
The whole affair STINKS of Gov overreaction and ass covering. This would not happen in the USA where the whole thing started, US AOPA was apparently shocked that we Aussies would allow the gov to do this.
Good old AOPA Aust, well done. This is just more proof of your complete irrelevance to Aust aviaition.
