Safe Flying of two more high definition Tony Stanton Club President’s Report When the Moreton Bay Regional Council was established it scheduled a strategic review of its two aerodromes, Redcliffe and Caboolture, as a first term issue. The Club, along with some other Redcliffe aerodrome lessees selected by the Council, had a degree of input at the very start of the process. The review was carried out by consultants GHD, and the Council advised the Club of the outcome of Stage 1 of the review in August this year. In brief, the Council resolved – * The Council will adopt a ―status quo with nominal improvements including expansion of the hangar area‖ option for the Redcliffe aerodrome development strategy. * The Council will progress Stage 2 of the review during 2010/11, subject to funds being available, and develop a Redcliffe aerodrome Master Plan together with a business model based on the option in 1 above. (However funds have already been committed and are available for both kangaroo fencing and levee bank works). * The Council will confirm with the State Government the future of the trustee arrangement over the aerodrome site in order to maintain and encourage private aviation industry to Redcliffe Aerodrome. (This is just to confirm that there are no time limits on the current arrangement) * Planning/modelling will be undertaken for associated aerodrome infrastructure including sewer, water, drain- age, and car parking during development of the Master Plan. * The Council will continue annual safety audit inspections. * Senior Council staff will liaise to arrange for appropriate signage to be erected on land designated for future development in close proximity to the aerodrome, advising of the continued operations of the aerodrome. There are some obvious, very satisfactory elements in that decision – the aerodrome is clearly part of the Coun- cil‘s 10 year planning horizon, and the more work that is done on the aerodrome the more likely that horizon will stretch further into the future; and the Council is flagging to nearby residential developments that ―the aero- drome was here first‖. Just how much work will be done (e.g. sewerage) is, however, very much in the balance at this stage.

[email protected] 3 Airchat September 2010 Briefs SARTIME Management Managing Search and Rescue times (SARTIMEs) and cancelling them at the end of a safe flight is a critical responsibility of pi- lots in command. It ensures that Airservices and emergency response authorities such as AusSAR (Australian Search and Rescue) or the police know that you've arrived safely. It also prevents unnecessary search and rescue operations - a highly resource intensive, and at times costly, process. Each year, around 12,000 SARTIMES expire without being cancelled by pilots. Up to 1800 of these are passed on to AusSAR when pilots cannot be contacted by Airservices Australia within 15 minutes. From there AusSAR may alert and dispatch search and rescue teams. However, the reality is that very few expired SARTIMES are the result of an aircraft in distress. Most are simply because pilots for- get to extend or cancel their SARTIME prior to expiry. Don't become the target of an unnecessary search and rescue effort. Set the alarm on your watch or mobile phone for your SARTIME minus 5 minutes. That way, five minutes before your SARTIME is due to expire, you'll get a reminder to ring Airser- vices. To cancel your SARTIME, phone CENSAR on 1800 814 931. Airservices Safety Programs & Promotions has produced a printable SARTIME man- agement fact sheet, and 'SARTIME minus 5' poster and sticker, which will assist you to manage your SARTIME. For more information, or to obtain a copy of the poster or sticker, email [email protected]. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Our AGM is scheduled for 6.30 p.m. on Tuesday 26 October 2010 at the Clubhouse. You will be receiving a formal notice shortly. It‘s important that we have a good roll- up at the AGM to ensure there is a range of feedback to the Committee, and appro- priate recognition of the efforts of staff during the year. I look forward to seeing many of you there. Greg McCallum, President 4 Airchat September 2010 Working Bee a HUGE success! RAC Volunteers From building state of the art simula- tors to producing 3 new work spaces , not to mention the petrol driven ―landscaping‖, the team continue to make an outstanding contribution to the club ! Mike Cahill and Barry Doman organ- ised another hugely successful working bee last month. Transforming the out building into a valuable space for all members. The new space provides: 3 Fully functional briefing rooms. A planning area with access to NAIPs. The building is air conditioned, pro- viding a great place to plan those summer flights. But the team are not finished here yet and they need your help! The second phase of this conversion is to add a deck from the main covered area to ensure safe (and clean) pas- sage to the new area when the ground gets wet.

  • Red Bull Air Race World Championship, March 2015
    Sport Tim Barnes-Clay gets our engines revving with a Red Bull look at the most thrilling World air race in the world Air Race reated in 2003, and officially the World Championship of air racing since 2005, the Red Bull Air Race is followed by Championship millions of fans across the globe. The fastest motorsport series in the world Cfeatures 14 of the best race pilots in a pure motorsport competition that combines speed, precision and skill. Using the fastest, most agile and lightweight racing planes, pilots navigate a low-level aerial track made up of air-filled pylons 25 meters high. New since 2014 is the Challenger Cup, a competition which enables young talented pilots to work towards gaining entry into the Master Class of the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. When the 2015 Red Bull Air Race World Championship kicked off in Abu Dhabi on 13th/14th February, defending champion Nigel Lamb had his work cut out for him. The Brit was pushed to the limits by the 2008 world champion Hannes Arch who finished second overall last year – and the two-time world champion Paul Bonhomme, who won last year’s season opener in Abu Dhabi and was third overall in 2014. 1 waterfrontmagazines.co.uk 2 Sport In what is shaping up to be one of the most competitive fields in the history of the world’s fastest motorsports series, Lamb will also be trying to stay on top of the expanded roster of 14 pilots in the high-speed, low-altitude sport. “Those sudden changes make the track even more difficult for the pilots when they’re flying through it at 370 km/h.” There were five different winners in the eight races last season as the gaps between victory and defeat dwindled to their closest ever, just a mere thousandth of a second separating some heats, and nine of the 12 pilots made it onto the podium at least once.

  • Red Bull Air Race World Championship Returns in 2014
    Red Bull Air Race World Championship returns in 2014 The Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be back in the skies in February 2014 with a full seven-race World Championship staged in 6 countries on 3 continents including the UK. The return of the world’s fastest motorsport series was announced at a news conference at the Putrajaya Maritime Centre in Malaysia today. PUTRAJAYA (Malaysia), October 8th 2013. “We’re delighted to announce that the new Red Bull Air Race World Championship will be launched on February 28th in Abu Dhabi (UAE),” said Erich Wolf, CEO Red Bull Air Race GmbH. “We’ve all worked very hard over the last three years fine-tuning some of the safety aspects to bring the sport to a new level. We never took our eye off the target and neither have these fantastic pilots or the great fans around the world. Their interest in the sport remained unbelievably high during these past few years. We can’t wait to get back in the air in February 2014.” The fourth stop on the 2014 calendar brings the Championship to Ascot Racecourse (UK). Charles Barnett, CEO Ascot said, “The Red Bull Air Race World Championship, like Ascot, is a respected global brand and showcases elite pilots to a worldwide audience. This is a tremendously important announcement for us as this is by far the most significant event outside Horse Racing that we have staged at the racecourse. The UK has a reputation as a leader in staging major sports events – the recent Olympic Games, of course, and high profile annual events such as Wimbledon, The Open Championship and, of course, Royal Ascot.

  • The 2014 Air Race Season So
    WHEL – Aerospace Resources & more (www.whel.de) The 2014 air race season so far Now that the spectacular first-ever Red Bull Air Race in Putrajaya, Malaysia, has come to a close it’s probably the right time for an early review. Following a three year break, the return of the air race in 2014 was desperately sought after by pilots and fans alike. Expectations were certainly high, but also clearly some things had to be changed. Now, have these changes paid off? Here’s the lowdown fol- lowing three exiting races with three different winners on three fairly different race tracks. Standardised engines, propellers and exhaust systems This has probably been the most important move to re-establish the Red Bull Air Race as a competi- tion among the best, most skilful aerobatic pilots in the world. Rather than allowing it to further evolve into a “who will spend the most on tuning his engine”-game, Formula 1-style. At the end of the 2010 season the final race at EuroSpeedway Lausitz made clear the airplanes apparently weren’t on level playing ground. There was said to be an advantage of around 20% in power from the strongest over fairly stock engines on some airplanes. We are talking some extra 50 horse powers here. At the same time lightweight props were adding performance but also safety risks. Now the standardised Lycoming Thunderbolt AEIO-540-EXP engines are quoted to be within 2% of each other. That translates to around 5 horse powers margin; something that may not make all the difference in the world.

  • WINGS for LIFE CHARITY AUCTION @ EBAY List of Articles
    WINGS FOR LIFE CHARITY AUCTION @ EBAY List of Articles Article1: A replica of David Coulthard’s Original Formula 1 Race Car from the GP of England 2007 Details: A piece of racing history created for the activity of “Faces for Charity”: A replica of David Coulthard’s Formula 1 race car from Silverstone (GP Britain 2007). Both Red Bull Racing cars (Mark Webber and David Coulthard) were involved in this initiative. The design of one car features about 21.000 small pictures that people were able to upload for £ 10. A total of one million dollars was collected through this charity activity donated to Wings for Life. The buyer can choose the design of the replica racing car – delivered without engine: Red Bull Racing or Faces for Charity About the athlete: In terms of race wins, ‘DC’ is the second most successful driver on the grid this year (2008) and the second most experienced in terms of race starts. This is David’s 15th Formula One season and it’s a sign of his worth that Red Bull Racing is only his third home in all that time. He spent his first two years with Williams, following that with a loyal nine years’ service for McLaren. In terms of points scored, he is the leading British driver in the history of the sport. The past 14 years have also produced some big numbers: 228 race starts, making him the fourth most experienced racer of all time, and 527 points scored, a total beaten only by Schumacher, Prost and Senna. His 13 wins to date put Coulthard 18th in the all-time winners list.
