Australian Flying

September-October 2019
Magazine

Australian Flying is Australia's premier General Aviation magazine, dedicated to educating and entertaining those at the sharp end of aviation. Each issue of Australian Flying delivers hands on tips to better flying along with advice and reviews on the latest technologies, accessories and techniques on the market. Australian Flying also brings you the latest news and most current topical issues affecting the aviation industry. Australian Flying is staffed by an experienced and dedicated team of writers and pilots who share a common goal to inform and inspire better pilots.

Look, up in the Sky • CASA has lumbered volunteer organisations with significant costs in order for them to transit to ASAO status. But what happens if they simply can’t wear that? The answer looms as a beefed-up RAAus with a scope expanded well beyond its current remit.

CASA launches Self-administration Rules • CASR Part 149 is now alive, forcing major changes into the recreational aviation community.

BREAKING NEWS FEATURED ON WWW.AUSTRALIANFLYING.COM.AU RECENTLY

CCAC fears for Warnervale Future • Council moves hold concerns for local aero club.

Mackay gets Second Qantas Academy • Queensland secures both pilot training sites.

Days of Thunder • Australia’s great north is renowned for its Wet season monsoons, but the weeks leading up to the drenching downpours have dangers for pilots that can trap the unwary and the inexperienced. Steve Hitchen reports on what it takes to survive flying in the Northern Territory’s build-up period.

Riding on Hot Air • Taking to the skies on rising hot air is one of the very first forms of aviation. So popular and enduring is ballooning that it still weaves magic around its exponents in the 21st century. Kreisha Ballantyne explores the world of the balloonatic.

The Perfect Form of Flight: Kathy Mexted

Breakdown • Are they approved or not? In this story of regulatory confusion, Steve Hitchen outlines how CASA helped to set up a flight training organisation with Part 141 and 142 approvals only to then cast doubt over whether or not it actually complied.

The Power of the Sling • The Airplane Factory has upgraded the Sling 4 with a powerful new engine that has created a whole new aircraft as John Absolon found on during a visit to the Gold Coast.

Great Ideas at the Time • Off the leash and out of the disapproving eyes of Zingi and Old Piet, Jim Davis discovered a new-founded freedom to make stuff-ups in his own inimitable style.

Towing the Line • Steve Hitchen investigates the misunderstood world of aircraft towing and outlines some of the best brands on the market.

Hell’s Half Dozen • Just as the question of the best aeroplanes in the world is subjective, so is the question of the worst! Tony Self has dug around to find six aircraft that were probably a great idea at the time, but history has judged them otherwise.

The Wheel Thing • Much importance is placed on landings, both as a measure of pilot competence and wear and tear on an aircraft, but landing gear design in GA is influenced by much more than approach speeds and touch downs. Andrew Andersen takes a look at the factors that influence GA landing gear design.

Sunset Delays Disturbing • David Bell of the Australian Business Aviation Association presents information from the business and corporate aviation sectors.

More H130s for Nautilus Aviation • Greg Thom presents news and views from the Australian helicopter industry.
