Around The Club 5 Cover Photo: Michael Chlopek .- Photo: Formation Friday - the C152s On A Lighter Note 15 line up to scramble Tarmac Topics From the CEO's Desk oth the Club and the College continue to be a hive of activity. Flying hours are better than last year and the College has enjoyed a welcome increase in student numbers. There has Bbeen a noticeable improvement in members adhering to the booking times. This makes it a lot easier for all concerned. The recent Bun Run saw 14 aircraft visit Rottnest to sample the best hot cross buns in Perth. Fortunately the weather on Good Friday was perfect for flying, with a light breeze blowing straight down RWY 09. Unfortunately flying over Easter Saturday and Sunday was restricted due to weather, but at least the wheat farmers are smiling. RWQ is currently undergoing refurbishment which includes changing its brown exterior to the Club’s red and white livery. Hopefully this will be completed by the end of April. We wish the ALAC team of Jim Di Menna, Sylvia Byers and Michael Stenson all the best for the forthcoming ALACs in Toowoomba in mid-April. The annual conference of the Royal Federation of Aero Clubs of Australia will be held prior to the ALACs. Andrew Eldridge, Trevor Jones, John Douglas and I will be attending the conference. The April aviation workshop scheduled for 19 April will contain a feedback session of what was covered at the conference. We welcome David O’Brien back to the Club. David’s role as admin manager will be to further improve efficiencies. Thank you to Steve Wilson for organising a long overdue busy bee to spruce up the gardens. It is amazing what can be achieved when a few members put in a little time to transform the garden. Please diarise 27th July as a function not to be missed. The Governor of Western Australia, Her Excellency the Honourable Kerry Sanderson AO has accepted the position of Patron of the Club. A Patron’s Dinner will be held on the evening of Wednesday 27th July. All members and their partners are welcome – more details to follow in subsequent editions of Tarmac Topics. The replacement of the air conditioning units is ongoing. A preferred supplier has been identified, and we are currently undertaking a due diligence exercise to ensure that we obtain the best value for money. The development of Murrayfield Airport is proving to be a very bureaucratic process. Fortunately, some progress has recently been made. Thanks to James Murphy for his work on preparing the development approval which we hope to submit shortly. Brendon Swale has looked after Murrayfield very well while Michael Chlopek is at Jandakot. Michael will be returning to Murrayfield in mid-April. Thank you also to those volunteers who flew the flag for YMUL at the recent Mandurah Crab Festival. It is obvious that there are still many residents in the Peel Region who do not know of the existence of Murrayfield Airport. There is still a lot of promotion required to improve the awareness of the airport. The Club has introduced a member benefits program whereby members can obtain discounts on a wide range of items. The next phase is to expand the program to include Club members who want to increase their sales. Anyone wanting to take advantage of this facility should contact our Marketing Manager, Eloyise Braskic. Autumn has probably the best flying weather for Perth. Whether you want to obtain a night rating, or gain an extra qualification, please make the most of these ideal flying conditions. David Currey.

  • SUD GARDAN GY-80 HORIZONS in AUSTRALIA by Geoff Goodall
    Last updated 14 July 2019 SUD GARDAN GY-80 HORIZONS IN AUSTRALIA By Geoff Goodall The story of three new French Sud Horizons imported in 1967-68. Hopes for a new sales market in Australia were not realised and it was to be over 20 years before several other used Horizons arrived. Our first Horizon VH-KJC still going strong in 2013, based at Caboolture Qld. Photo by Ian McDonell The Gardan GY-80 Horizon was first flown in France in 1960, as a development of the successful Gardan GY-20 Minicab wooden construction homebuilt series designed by Yves Gardan. The new Horizon was an all-metal 4 seater touring aircraft, featuring an all-moving tailplane and tricycle retractable undercarriage. Four Fowler type flaps are connected mechanically to the landing gear mechanism. A crank handle in the cockpit raises and lowers the flaps and tricycle landing gear together. The French heavy aircraft manufacturer Sud Aviation negotiated with Yves Gardan for a licence for commercial production of the Horizon, then licenced SOCATA (Societe de Construction d'Avions de Tourism et d'Affaires - a reorganisation of the old Morane-Saulnier) to carry out the manufacture. Commercial production commenced in 1962 at Nantes and Rochefort, marketed as the Sud Gardan GY-80 Horizon, later SOCATA GY-80 Horizon. They were powered by 160hp or 180hp variants of the well-proven Lycoming O-360 series, as used by Cessna 172, Piper Cherokee and other popular aircraft types. A total of 267 Horizons were built before production switched in 1969 to a more sophisticated development, the SOCATA Diplomate.
