Hi Cath and others,
I have been using a Colibri data logger for a couple of years now. So have a
several others in my club. We find them fantastic for comparing flight data
at the end of the day. Climb rates and cruise speeds statistics are easily
compared using IGCview.
I think that they are a
Hi All,
Jogged my memory of many moons ago when the original Airlines of South Australia
were flying F27's around the state.
I managed to go for a jaunt to Adelaide/Port Lincoln and back in the jump-seat
with a pilot who was, and still is, a friend of my brother.
Anyway, he related the story of
Cathy, as you may know, I run a Cambridge. Just a little correction to
John's posting, the Cambridge will use and display FAI sectors as well as
beer cans and finish lines. Happy soaring - Rolf WQF

Jason,
that reminds me of the day that one of your Camden Twr boys
contacted SAR because one of your gliders had made an outlanding.
Fortunately I took the call, ascertained that the glider pilot had advised
they were save, and were only asking for a ground retrieve, and this was
normal
A few years ago I was trying to do a 500km flight in the Boomerang.
I'd declared Peterborough-Saddleworth-WhyteYacowie out of Gawler.
The day was great until I got to abeam Burra. Then I ran into a wall
of thunderstorms which killed the lift for a long distance around. I
tried to divert arou
Controlled airspace is a great place to visit. I guess us glider pilots give
the controllers something different to worry about! I remember being given a
block clearance from Gawler to Jamestown and return (the only instructions,
not above FL120, report turning Jamestown).
Have access to controll
Down at Bunyan (Canberra GC) we deal with ATC quite regularly in wave
season. We can negotiate a good "block clearance" arrangement up to FL200
but to get into the serious stuff above that requires a bit of conversation
with Melbourne at the time. They are invariable helpful and accommodating,
and
Does anyone know place, dates of this year's Qld State Comps???
Thanks Ron

Like many people involved in power flying, they don't seem to learn much
about gliding from their basic training. However
The controller was probably Gerry. Great bloke. Pity he's left now. He had a most
amazing memory for placing names to voices. eg on radio checks.
me: Camden ground, glider xyz request radio check on 121.9
Twr: Gday Derek reading you 5
Camden now just gets a rotation of Bankstown controllers
I learnt to fly at Camden (power) in the days of Miro, and the little pill
box tower down beside 06/24.
Those were the days.
