Apparently two flights greater than 1000 k out of Toc today, one was even 
greater than 1100K, apparently.

[Aus-soaring] What to do with old Australian glding mags

[Texler, Michael]

Hi All,

I have AGs going back to 1987.

Are the older ones digitised anywhere?

What about the more recent Gliding Australia mag?

The old mags are sitting gathering dust and taking up room!

Regards

Michael

Re: [Aus-soaring] Regular Car Reviews: A 1987 ASK-21 Sailplane

[Texler, Michael]

I thought it was entertaining. Much of it was very tongue in cheek...

Remember this is the impression from a passenger.

I am sure there are other droll/silly recollections by people who come up to do 
AEF's here in Oz.

It all has to do with the way it is sold and conducted.

Hi Tom,

For knobs why not consider an arcade knob? (Many different colours too!)

Re: [Aus-soaring] CASA Avmed discussion - due Thursday 30 March

[Texler, Michael]

I support the AOPA proposal and the US treatment of Class 2 medicals.

I too recently did my Class 2 medical.

I discussed with the DAME how the RAMPC requirements restrict to single engine 
ops, less than 1,500kg, only 1 pax, and ops below 10,000’ AMSL. He agrees that 
there is there is no science behind this.

At least in the US the proposed Class 2  allows multi engine ops, IFR, Night.

I know that many DAMEs also want change.

Regards

Michael

Only 98 medical incidents out of 160,000. Must mean that the medical health 
screening had been working between 1975 to 2006!!!

If most of these are from gastro, perhaps pilots need food safety training!!

I guess the car was a glider...

OK it had lousy L/D, controllability and phugoid issues.

Parachutes are gliders too...
