but it all needs to go into the Ops Manual Part C and be signed for and flown as part of route and strip training,
I don’t really agree with that.
CASA would not touch it otherwise because that would imply they were at fault for not requiring it before. I can think of a dozen Wx related commercial GA accidents where no changes were recommended
Exactly.
What’s the biggest threat in the NT? It’s not terrain, it’s not short strips with gradients. It’s the tropical weather. What do young pilots cutting their teeth in Darwin like to do? Drink beer, fly and talk crap ( at least that’s what we did a fair while back). Duck Pilot might be able to combine some key points on staying alive with the drinking beer and talking crap elements and not only save a life or two but have some fun doing it.
