[Aus-soaring] Fuel Tax Credit
If your club isn't claiming Fuel Tax Credit on Mogas, your treasurer should take a look at this link: http://www.ato.gov.au/Business/Fuel-schemes/In-detail/Fuel-tax-credits---for -GST-registered-businesses/Calculating-and-record-keeping/Fuel-tax-credit-ra tes-and-eligible-fuels/ Work through the 'fuel tax credit eligibility tool' . There is no FTC on Avgas.

PeterS So why not use Avgas 100LL? http://www.rotaxservice.com/rotax_tips/rotax_feed4.htm *Aviation Fuels* It is possible but not recommended to use 100LL AVGAS, since the the lead content is like cholesterol to your engine: it will accelerate wear on the valve seats, create deposits in the combustion chamber and sediments in the lubrication system and gearbox. Increased maintenance is necessary to compensate. Unlike conventional aircraft engines, lead is absolutely not essential to the proper lubrication and operation of a Rotax 4-stroke aircraft engine. The increased octane rating also has no marked advantage for the operation of your engine. *To be avoided:* * Regular fuel except if used in the 912 A/F/UL and burned entirely on the day of purchase; * Premium fuel which is more than 3 weeks old * AVGAS except when the required automotive fuel is not available http://www.rotaxservice.com/rotax_tips/rotax_feed4.htm#PeterS ___ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring

Re: [Aus-soaring] Petition to remove ASIC
Our CFI has sent a note to our club (BSC) membership recommending that no one should sign the petition to remove the ASIC requirement. Here is his advice: Be aware that sport aviation pilots do not have to hold an ASIC card. Raising this issue with no research to show that the Government is likely to listen may only put our exemption at risk. So far as I know there is no intention on the behalf of the Government to relax security restrictions - far from it as I understand it. AOPA does not support the air sport organisations or self-administration. I do not understand why AOPA is acting on behalf of sport Aviation with out our knowledge. I RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GET INVOLVED UNTIL WE UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. If AOPA wants our support they know very well who to come to. Anyone know about this? I'll be taking it up with him, of course, and will advise accordingly.
