Ron has advised he will be running a training exercise on 1 March to refresh and introduce key aspects of operating inside controlled airspace. This is very timely as ink is almost dry from the CASA side of things on the detail that will permit us to operate in controlled airspace with an endorsement and not requiring the special CASA instrument that we have been so lucky to have over the last three years or so.

To the details. 1 March at MKT briefing at 9.00 am and then the group will head to the south from MKT which suggests that we won't actually be in controlled airspace unless we are heading for Tindal :-)

The topics to be covered are speed control, postion keeping and tower instructions.

On the 8th of March there will be a standard fly around of Darwin - briefing at 9:00 - depart at 9:30 back by 10:30.
