Hats...

The Member for Kennedy, traverses his huge electorate using GA..but unfortunately Bob has his head stuck up his...hat.
No further correspondence will be entered into. Fini.

A question for AeroD...the guy who knows how the wing works?,

Please tell me this. What is it that a PPL does NOT do when he flies an aircraft from A to B.. that is different/deficient from a CPL flying from A to B.
S/E Day VFR.

And I'll give you a very sobering statistic to chew on...
When CAsA were spending tens of thousands of dollars chasing a PPL all over Australia...solo with camera only on board, in the Cape York region alone there were SEVEN CPL light and twin charter accidents and TWENTY ONE fatalities.

So you can see where their priorities REALLY lie. And it aint "safety"

Last weeks thought bubble from the Non Aviation House crowd, ( what shall we do this week to keep ourselves occupied?) was Angel Flight.

Next week it will be , lets see ah gliding uses tow pilots flying powered a/c. They might crash, ..lets get into overseeing that..to make it "safer", of course...after all we are the "experts"
Never mind that has been the balliwick of the Gliding Federation for the last 50 years.

OH right they tried that on about 15 years ago..and where did that go.???
A few folk got glider flights and some all expenses paid trips around the traps touring the county, sticking their bib in. And then it all faded away !!!

And the next brain snap will be????
