Any other Dutchess around bankstown. What about the other light twins?

What requirements do they need to rent it.

Basair VH-WEC just got back from repair i think....

Clamback VH-WEU, is the nicest BE76 i seen but they dont rent it out, only for dual!! They look after it really well...flown it before

SAC ---I think they got VH-MVG (30% in Cathay colour)

Aerospace got a few too~~

which rise myself a question, which time do you log if you get charged for Airswitch instead of VDO?

We could always log VDO time. [As far as i know logging time is from the moment we move the aircraft from where we parked to time when we finish the flight and park it again.]


Is there any partnevia's in YSBK for airswitch rate? I know that Aerospace has but i think they too give on VDO.

Aerospace hire out their P68's VDO.

As does the schools at Camden with IYN. (P68)

In fact I'll go out on a limb and say that very few aircraft at all get hired out a/s in Sydney.

And none of em would be twins I'd reckon?

Things must have changed, I have a few solo trips in WEU. Just checked their website - seems they're still renting out wet.

K3nny I agree, it is (was?) a nice aeroplane as Duchesses go....

guess things might have changed, mind telling me when did you do your solo trip?

As far as things go, WEU is just nice and neat, too bad I haven't been flying twin for a long time, $$ ....

talk about BE76, there used to be VH-DAA at YSBK, used that for my twin training, what happened to it? That was nice too, had moving map GPS onboard

K3nny

Don't have my logbook in front of me, but IIRC day trips to Nowra, Bathurst, Canberra, Moruya, that sort of thing. It's been about 4-5 years I think, so memory might be a little clouded, but you get the drift.

VB I've also flown P68B IYN which I thought was better presented than some of its YSBK 'Party' counterparts.

IYN has just been sold too.

It is still available for hire but now is kept outside as opposed to in the hangar so it will soon start to show signs of wear and tear I'd imagine.

VB.
