THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"
Re: THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"
Could not agree more. Digital signatures and certification with dedicated encripted certificates are commonly used over the internet to ensure authentisity. Another example of such use is SARS e-filling. I am sure the introduction of this system has boosted tax collection and, the same could be said for RAASA if they implemeted a simpler, more efficient system. Maybe this would even convince some in the remote areas to become/stay legal?

I believe such a system as I mentioned earlier has a positive impact on getting people legal.
Anyone with internet access would be able to type in an aircraft registration and see the ATF. And why not? There's nothing secretive about it.

Yip, like on your cell phone when within coverage. Well, most cell phones...Invasion of privacy? I don't think so, aircraft registration to owner and visa versa is already available if you register on the web site.

To all the TAILWINDS you guys are the greatest. To Hans, Mervyn, Fanie and of course Johannes you all rock. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all.
I will be away for the next two week...so no flying for me until the 5th Jan 2015. Feels weird typing 2015, but it is just around the corner.
To all the other smucks, holigans and thugs....pick your own category....have a blessed & merry Christmas.

May 2015 be the best year of your life and the best flying one as well.
BOTWANA Flying Safari is just 4 months away....cant wait.

Happy new year to all.
Mervyn asked me to post that he found an AN (Aircraft Spec) bolt and part of a compass on the runway at Microland.
Please, all pilots at Microland, make sure during your next pre-flight inspection that these parts are not from your aircraft.
