Persistance, Dedication & Passion

Persistance, Dedication & Passion

Satis-Fly your Passion.!   A journey like no other.. In 1994, I stumble across an Air Creation advert in a magazine.. 1996 I travelled across the oceans to progress my training as a AC Distributor.

History of the years gone by are now a memory... too much politics to post here!

It may have taken 17 years and 72 hours to achieve the ultimate goal in Australian sport aviation history..but we did it!

At 6.00 am on Monday the 14th January 2013, Peter and Chris travelled south to Melbourne Airport to take delivery of the boxes from customs.

Tuesday 15th January 2013, we had almost completed the assembly of a new Air Creation, Tanarg 912s BioniX 13 machine at Stan's hangar, just next door to Hangar 19 - YFT.

Wednesday 16th 2013, conducting ground tests, quality control procedures and submitting ALL the necessary documentation for RA-Aus-CASA compliance registration by email..some 10mb..we had moved to third base on the grid for acceptance. All the while, Australia is under going major transformation for light sport aircraft compliance/non-compliance issues with CASA assisting with improvements to our system...that's another story!

Thursday, 17th January 2013..at about 4.00pm, RA-Aus & CASA have signed off on the compliance submission for the new machine. YFT receives the go ahead to conduct legal flight testing of their new..'Show Pony'... never in the history of light sport aircraft compliance in Australia, some 72hrs from submission we get approval - Amazing News!

As the Australian General Importer for Air Creation..words are unable to describe my relief, gratitude and excitement to climb aboard a sexy, custom yellow Tanarg 912s - BioniX 13 machine and take to the Yarrawonga skies.

Flight testing procedures conducted, minor tuning and small adjustments to the propellor pitch..and we have a machine that flies beyond imagination.

So if you ever have a dream..chase it with all you have to give. My advise, is an answer to any challenge that you have a passion to achieve...... is to never, never ever... give up on a dream!

Go fly..enjoy the elements of challenge..and always fly safely.
