RE: [Aus-soaring] Radio procedure glider style!

It's an issue we will all need to be more aware of, as in the current climate there will be some out there who will lose no opportunity to say "here is another example of those irresponsible other airspace users, let's get them out of the air!".   Down at Bunyan we are a few miles outside t

Re: [Aus-soaring] Radio procedure glider style!

I see the Dalby CTAF's frequency is the same as the multicom 126.7 which is convenient. Your point backs up my recommendation for having two radios in a glider: one monitoring (and occasionally announcing on) the multicom and the other on the glider frequency. I think landing in a MBZ (MANDATORY

RE: [Aus-soaring] registering trailers

As we (Canberra Gliding Club) have a glider and trailer on the water at the moment I've been following the trailer registration issue up with our local authority (ACT motor registry). As has been mentioned by others, GFA and VicRoads did some work about 4 years ago that led to the issue of a VicRo

Re: [Aus-soaring] Radio procedure glider style!

I am afraid you could be right.  We had a member who would do things like that.  I would eventually hear reports about no radio in MBZ and had to visit the flying School concerned to get to the bottom of reports  Fortunately the pilot did not like me and he left and formed his own club at ou

RE: [Aus-soaring] registering trailers

Do you have import documentation for the trailer itself? We had problems with our recent import of our DG1000: apparently customs (?) did not have any documentation regarding the trailer and this made life very difficult when it came to registering the trailer (in NSW) Don Palmer could give you

[Aus-soaring] The Scare Mongering Has Begun

I watched the news on Channel 10, 9 and 2 (and 7.30 report) last night here in Adelaide. It was great to see the air traffic controller's union and international pilots' association scaring the pants of the travelling public about the nasty light planes that WILL crash into a people mover one day

[Aus-soaring] Radio procedure glider style!

I attended my local Aero clubs information night on NAS last night. Proudly wearing a gliding t-shirt. However upon arriving I was bombarded with comments about gliders thinking they have their own rules. It seems that earlier in the day a glider had landed, unannounced in the MBZ. A little while

Re: [Aus-soaring] NAS , GFA recommendations

Now come on Brian, you are not allowed to be critical of mike's views, you know he will only add you you to his list along with me and most other GFA members. After all you could not possibly know what you are talking about given that you choose to fly legaly under the the rules. P What a sin

Re: [Aus-soaring] NAS , GFA recommendations

I am with Brian Wade on this. What Bob Hall wrote is appropriate and good advice to glider pilots. Mike, I cannot see in my inflight guide supplied to power pilots where you think E airspace is controlled. What perhaps you are referring to is within 40nm of a Class D aerodromes (Albury, Coffs, H
