My comments on CBC News

 

This web site is dedicated to Amelia and Daniel

who I love very much and

think of every day.

 

I'm an Australian originally from Tasmania.

In the past few years, I have helped many people use family history

and DNA to connect with their aboriginal cousins via Tasmanian Aboriginal DNA on Facebook group.

 

I hold an FAA SEL MEL ATP CFI, CFI Instrument, CFI multi-engine, Advanced Ground Instructor, Instrument Ground Instructor and Rotorcraft Helicopter Commercial and CFI (CFI means Certified Flight Instructor.

In Canada I hold an Aeroplane ATPL, Instructor Rating and previously held a Class One Aerobatic Instructor Rating.

 

In Australia and Canada I have also flown gliders and gyroplanes. I started in the Benson glider trainer and later the RAF2000, the Magni M16 and the Magni M24. I love these cool flying machines.

Aerobatics. As you might note from the video at the bottom, I also enjoy Aerobatics and will compete again when possible. I also enjoy teaching the art of flying tailwheel aircraft like the Pitts Special, Citabria and the Super Decathlon. My students will tell you that they had to be able to be proficient in one wheel take offs and one wheel landings prior to first solo.

A Spin is a state of stalled flight. Note the airspeed indicator in the top left hand corner.

 

 

 

 

This was my last flight with Johno after having the pleasure of helping him obtain his

initial tailwheel  and aerobatic endorsement in the Super Decathlon.
