BTW, am I the only one who thinks that a guy who regularly flies a C150 from Barwon Heads to King Island is a bit of a legend? He's a bolder man than me!
No, its not just you, I definitely wouldn't do it..!!
While we're on the topic of the guy and his C150 perhaps CASA need to look into his W&B and fuel planning. He is always two up and that thing has an O-320.
What are you getting at here tyrone..? Do you know the people involved..? A C150 can easily make it that far without being overloaded. Even with a headwind its only going to take him about 1.5hrs + 45min reserve = 135mins. If he has long range tanks, tabs fuel will give him around 200-220mins (from memory) and provided he and his passenger aren't chubsters, they won't be overloaded. If they are a bit on the 'solid' side, they can take less fuel and still make it comfortably.
