If you are the type that turns off your mags in flight i.a.w mustering big bang theory make sure the switch nut is tight, I know of one operator who switched his mags off only to see the switch disappear behind the instrument panel.
Lucky those trees were there with just the right spacing to remove wings and arrest forward motion

Why do you see mustering as a step into ag. Why not just go and do your ag rating. The 5 hours dual for a mustering endorsement is only going to give you limited training for low level ops. If you want to get into ag then I would suggest you find a job mixing or loading for an ag operator. That way you are learning about the ag industry and at the same time you can be networking. That is not going to happen if you are on an isolated pastoral property.
Go for it.

I once spent an afternoon with the principal/owner/CP of a very well known helicopter school with a view to transitioning to CPL(H). I got to see day to day operations, hangars, current students, the various endorsements they offered, how they generally operated and him displaying some very fine a/c handling. I was impressed... until I heard him take a phone call. He was speaking with someone about cattle mustering training and he admitted he did not have any endorsements or experience to do so but was keen to do business. All the good impressions I had gleaned to this moment dissipated in an instant when he replied down the phone "I don't have a mustering endorsement. It can't be too hard to get, all you gotta do is chase a few cows around." This stupid statement undid all the positive points I had earlier seen.
Not anywhere on this thread have I seen anyone mention the prime reason for a mustering endorsement: the cattle. No-one on here has mentioned one needs to have cattle sense.

I have done a bit of mustering in a 172. I am keen to learn more from some one that has experience in the industry am also keet to get in touch with a pilot that is intrested in teaching me the finer points.
Oex,
If you have already done some mustering in a C172, then you shouldn't need any tuition in 'fine points'. Assume you have done a CAO 29.10 low level course, you did do a full 'mustering endorsement', and you did undergo 'on-the-job' training?
On the other hand............... like many others we hear of, if your current employer has discovered that their aircraft insurance will be voided unless you do get the appropriate training...... then, you need more than a chat about the 'fine points'.
happy days,

Yes Chuck,
if you kept in close to the shoreline coconut palms, you could keep them running out to sea.
I reckon the Papuan coastline has seen more than it's fair share of 'native mustering'............. forgive the PC incorrectness!
