Australian Campaign Phase One. Planning

Vlad, Knowing you I figured you'd find a way to fly there through Europe and Asia.

I didn't fly today. It takes forever waiting for a deice truck. I went to see a Star War movie instead. Rogue 1. By the time I got home there was a nice present from Paul McVitty. I dusted off my old abacus and did some calculations

Hey, a Russian slide rule. That's classic, but you won't need that for flight planning down here Vlad. You can get modern calculator batteries at most of our outback towns these days.

Looks like perfect weather to be inside building a Flyleds kit!

Vlad, The wife and I did a flying adventure in Australia back in 2004. It was awesome! Even though it wasn't in an RV. Would be really jealous of you doing it in your RV, sounds like a once in a lifetime adventure. Here is a link to our pictures from our trip if you get bored and want to check them out. Need a co-pilot??

Not saying it's feasible with any potential legal issues, but it does look flyable!

What insurance companies are you guys using in Australia? Is there a minimum liability required to land on certain airfields? If you visit Tasmania do you purchase additional insurance?

Hey Vlad, if you're going to fly around Australia, you might as well head across the Tasman to New Zealand also It'll blow your mind...

Insurance in Australia appears to be simpler than the US. We pay an annual premium, there may be some limitations, such as minimum pilot experience on type, there is an excess if we make a claim, and that's about it.

Haven't heard of airfields making demands in relation to insurance and Tassie is just another part of Australia.

QBE Insurance has had a long relationship with SAAA. Not sure if N reg would be a complication. I will PM some contact details (after we done flying today )

Vlad, if you need a wing man, I'M IN!
