[Aus-soaring] NSW Pilots please respond- Do you think NSW would use a Gliding Simulator?
Hi, At The GFA Meeting in Adelaide two simulators were shown. The GFA is exploring the possibilities of these being used by Clubs in the future. QLD is interested in buying one for use amongst the QLD clubs. Would the Clubs in NSW be interested? As you can see by the attached message the GFA is keen to help but NSW Gliding would also have to chip in. All State Presidents, It is believed that all State Presidents were present at the GFA Seminar in Adelaide on the 6th September to witness the informative presentations of Tom Wilksch and Ian Linke on Gliding Simulation. The GFA Board considered the question of GFA's further involvement in the issue at their meeting on the following day and are investigating the scope of functionality of the projects underway in Australia, obtaining overseas advice on similar projects and researching local demand for such equipment. The GFA President has asked for the State Association Presidents to indicate to the GFA Board what demand they see for such equipment in their Regions, in terms of: .An Instructional/Coaching tool .Promotional support at displays, advertising in shopping centres etc. .Arcade game to promote gliding .Any other uses seen In particular, please indicate interest in working with the current project engineer(s) to bring a project to conclusion and implementation. The amount of State Association support proposed (or not) should also be indicated. The GFA Board is expected to be sympathetic to further funding the project given positive Regional support.

RE: [Aus-soaring] Gliding Club Paid Staff
Keen to know how you go on this Phil. We are similar size (less at around 160 members) at SCGC in Sydney. We pay part time Ops person for mid week and a part time back-office, relying on more mature people who have a bit of time and would like to keep in touch with the Club. We do not fly Thur-Fri but every other day and would like to extend to 7 days. Keen to know what responses you get on/off list and maybe share experiences. Dave Boulter Southern Cross -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Sent: Tuesday, 6 March 2007 6:59 PM To: Aus-soaring Subject: [Aus-soaring] Gliding Club Paid Staff Hi all There has been some discussion at our club about our paid staff and if there are viable alternatives to our current arrangements (i.e. volunteer club members). We have one full time maintenance /instructor /tug pilot person and one office person who works about 20 hours. Our membership is around 140 glider pilots, 30 ultralight pilots and another 30 something members who operate various types other types of aircraft who are club members. What are other clubs of similar sizes doing? As I see it we can either continue paying a premium for having the staff (about $60K/year) or fly cheaper but at the cost of doing the work ourselves though possibly in a less professional manner.

RE: [Aus-soaring] Concealing Aircraft Registration
I came home one evening after work, watched the news to hear them say that the person that was taken from the water near the Gap (Sydney)this morning was xyz. This was my cousin, who I was very close to. My mother knew but wanted to tell me face-face. This was a long time ago before mobile phones etc. Nothing has changed in the many years. I had to face the press with a member of my club passing away in tragic circumstances last year. There are good press people and there are bad. I have seen them all in the space of that week. I think the GFA needs to prepare clubs better with Press Kits and facts so they can speak to the media. I know from experience that the objective is to keep the press away from the family. If you give them something they will be more happy and less harrassing of the family for the story. They have deadlines. /daveb -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ben Jones Sent: Friday, 29 December 2006 6:35 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Concealing Aircraft Registration Scott, not having a go at you but. Legal reasons or not is pile of B.S, What legal reason would that be ?? Just because a reg of a aircraft is open to any one who can punch in a CASA or GFA web page and search for a particular rego and get the particular details of the owner and most likely the pilot at the time of reporting of the accident, doesn't mean its a right to publish the rego of the aircraft in a photo. Lets assume I have a uncle who flew aircraft and this aircraft went in and was published no later than 1 hour after the incident as a news flash across my computer screen while looking at the ABC website, I click on the headline out of interest and see a pic of my uncles aircraft on the ground and caption pilot dies in crash Because of the crap reasons why they dont blank out rego's ( and with todays digital gear it aint that hard!! ) Now i just have been informed of my uncles death, via computer . gee dont you think this type of news should be delivered by friend and family not via the press. The above is only a example . My thought go out to the family of a fellow pilot. Ben - Original Message - From: Scott Penrose [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net Sent: Friday, December 29, 2006 3:58 PM Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] Concealing Aircraft Registration Your comment about privacy and sensitivity is taken a set further in the fact that anyone can source the aircraft register on line while motor vehicle registrations details are not available even on request due to Privacy Legislation in the ACT at least, and probably other states too. The potential for Road Rage revenge attacks has been used as one reason to justify this position. I am passing no judgement on if it should or should not be, but this is the reason they do not cover it up. Unlike car registration, aircraft registration is open and public. The press do not cover things up for sensitivity reasons, but for legal ones. Again, this is no judgement on if they should or not.
