Ramp checks

I have only been ramped once, at Maree of all places, and I wasn't even flying that day I was just rolling drums about. 1999-2000 ish.

Gentleman was head of GA ops at Can'tBorough at the time and I remember thinking that as an auditor he wasn't much chop.

Leaving aside the fact that I wasn't flying and so notionally I wasn't the pilot, he never checked anything other than the MR and like Old Mate said (above) it ended up just a chat about the things pilots talk about.

Good thing he never checked my maps, I was doing regular repeated Maree/Lake Eyre/Birdsville/Tibooburra scenics with nowt but a Garmin 100 (with flat battery) and a shell road map of Australia.

...Where is ************ (former owner of "Heron" "Airlines"... which was niether) now anyway?
