Introduction

Well into winter now here in Melbourne but there are some good flying days so take advantage of them when you can.

News and Rumours

• the circuit booking system at Moorabbin is still fully booked up two weeks ahead so make tailwheel endorsement training very difficult … over to someone else …. perhaps David Prossor …
• there are quite a few people doing tailwheel and basic aerobatic training in the Super Decathlon one or two working up to competitions. Perhaps there will be an Ozaeros team at the next Victorian Championships.

• I had an opportunity to speak to Greg Hood, CEO of the ATSB, recently about one of my pet subjects.
• LOC-I – usually stall/spin from a turn – continues to be the single biggest cause of fatal GA accidents yet it seems that neither the ATSB nor CASA have little interest in changing the situation.
• Many examiners and instructors also seem to have little interest as well. When was the last time that you did a stall in a turn?
