The MAAA President and Secretary will be in Canberra on 15 -16 October to attend a meeting with CASA regarding the rewriting of CAS Part 101.

Andrew Barrett (member) talks about ticking off one of his "bucket list" items.

My wife and I finally ticked off one of our most awaited "Bucket List" items this year. We spend two weeks on the south island of New Zealand touring enjoying both the scenery and the air museums. A fitting finally to a wonderful overseas trip was spending the last few days at the Warbirds over Wanaka International Airshow. 

During my time as president of the MAAA I've been working hard to ensure we have clear conversations with our members and that we provide the tools that our clubs need to make it easier to get out there and enjoy flying!

Last year, the MAAA went through a process to approve a new strategic plan that will see the organization move in a new, considered direction.

The awesome sound of jet aircraft and the smell of burning kerosene will be part of the excitement when Maryborough Airport hosts the Queensland Turbine Flyers Association QTFly-in from August 1 – 3. The fly-in is Queensland's premier event for all model turbine aircraft including jets, turbo props and helicopters.

In the first edition we look at management matters that clubs may face, introduce you to the Wingspan Flight School, bring to light some common safety incidents and get out and about with our members.

Enjoy Wingspan here
