One may run into problems with insurance, such as I found with TAC insurance
at motorcycle track days in Victoria: if you just ride around the
race-track you're covered by TAC, but the moment you time anyone you're not.

the reality is that the sporting licence is a mechanism for providing
funding to the FAI. The FAI governs all badges, record and competitions -
sets the criteria and awards the international recognition. Their only

For 20 years + SSA included a FAI comp licence with SSA membership renewal
and there was no charge and there was no photo - I think they now have
changed. I always wondered if I could have used my SSA comp licence in

The mangatory use of Flarm at Nationals was opposed by the sports committee
(as it was by the IGC for world comps) but the GQ organisers asked for this
to be considered for the nationals in Kingaroy. GQ reps and NCC reps (who
set the national rules) then discussed the wording of the rules so as
I think the general statement of state comps modifying national rules is a
bit wrong.
Yes you can have a set of national rules for a promulgated national comp.
Yes you can have a set of state rules for a promulgated state comp.
But i think the idea is if a STATE is having a STATE COMP then

Short update on flarm in Australia
Mike, Flarm ( or Ozflarm) is being used in several G.A aircraft using the
external antenna we had designed, the c150 at Boonah was the first to trial
this and it works well. 2 ozflarms are currently being trialled in commuter
aircraft in New Zealand and 40 were

I don't think that was entirely fair.
Personally I don't see the continuing development of this product to
broaden its use as limitations or 'expensive work arounds' becoming
apparent.
Certainly I wouldn't like to see any sort of innovation in aviation
safety (flarm or otherwise)

I am seeking info on the manometer scale above 160 Kts for ASI Calibration,

Basic Sailplane Engineering provides the info up to 160 Kts.
Ive been unable to locate any info - and the scale to 160 Kts does not

Thanks in anticipation,
What are you going on about Mike? No one said the existing antenna was not
working and it is fine for most installations out of the box which is what
we have used for the last 14 months. In some cases Carbon fibre fuses can
block SOME of the signal, not all of it AND in some cases cross

Good work Ken.. Reminds me of the time you worked out that a Ka6 could
not fly above 96,000 feet because the Vne equaled the stalling speed..
good memories from 40 years ago. :)
