December 1947: Bobby and Jean Gibbes
bought their first Auster J5 VH-KSD to
transport supplies to their trade stores in
Papua New Guinea. By January 1948, Gibbes
Sepik Airlines was established. A total of ten
Austers serviced the demand for charters;
these were replaced by Norsemen to increase
cargo capacity. The airline was sold in
November 1958 to Mandated Airlines,
following an accident near Mendi which
resulted in the first death on a Gibbes Sepik
flight (see picture below).

TSO C91a or TSO C126, or CASA is satisfied
that it meets these requirements; or it was
fitted before 5 December 1996 and is

TSO C91 or CASA is satisfied that it meets
these requirements.
• It is a portable emergency position
indicating radio beacon that meets the
requirements of MS 241, MS 309, AS/NZS
4330:1995 or AS/NZS 4280: 1995; or it is a
portable ELT that meets the requirements of
TSO C91, TSO C91a or TSO C126.
• An ELT (portable or otherwise) is not
approved if it is fitted with a lithium-sulphur
dioxide battery that does not meet the
requirements of TSO C97.

15 November 1972: A hijacker aboard an
Ansett Fokker F-27 flight threatened the flight
crew as the aircraft approached Alice Springs
Airport. Negotiations began after the aircraft
had safely landed. The hijacker was shot as
police attempted to overpower him; a
policeman was also seriously injured in the
struggle. The incident was the catalyst for
increased security arrangements implemented
by December 1972. The International
Terminal Building at
Kingsford Smith (Sydney)
airport, for example,
separated passengers from
members of the general
public and by December
1973 metal detectors and
baggage checks had been
introduced.

track 320M and climb to 4200ft.
11. You are planning the approach at Lord
Howe Island (YLHI), by night. If at the
missed approach point (MAPt) you
sighted the airfield, when is the earliest
point at which you may discontinue the
procedure and track to join the circuit for
a landing on RWY 10?

b)
c)
d)
e)
When at the MAPt.

the circuit and therefore will prevent
sparking should the spanner short the
terminal to another conducting surface.
6. b) Self explanatory
1.a) Both an alternator and a generator
actually produce AC. In the generator this is
rectified by the commutator so that the
output is DC . In alternators the AC is
rectified by semi-conductor diodes,
mounted either internally or externally, to
output DC.
2. d) Directional gyros, artificial horizons,
turn coordinators and suction gauges are
connected to the aircraft’s suction system
and the manifold pressure gauges are
connected to the engine intake manifold
system. Airspeed indicators, altimeters and
Rate of Climb indicators are connected to
the static system.
3. d) A turn co-ordinator is really a “turn and
slip” indicator with its sensitive axis offset
around. 30 per cent from the horizontal. In
this manner it is sensitive to roll and
yaw/turn movements whereas the “turn and
slip” is only sensitive to movement around
the yaw/turn axis.
4. c) VOR and ILS localiser operate in the
same frequency band and in most cases
processing is in the same receiver. ADF, DME
and ILS glideslope are all in different
frequency bands and are usually processed in
separate receivers.
5. a) Removing the ground lead first breaks
7. a) Since hydraulic fluid is non-compressible,
and provision must be made for storing it
under pressure an accumulator is used.
These usually consist of steel spheres,
divided into two compartments by a
neoprene diaphragm or bladder. Compressed
air fills one chamber. As the pump builds up
pressure in the system, fluid enters the fluid
chamber and moves the diaphragm, further
compressing the air. This holds pressure on
the hydraulic fluid.
8. b) Piston engine exhaust valves are subject
to extreme temperatures during normal
engine operation. Heat transfer is used to
provide cooling of the valves; the
effectiveness of the heat transfer determines
the life of the valve. Sodium filled valve stems
are used in certain exhaust valves as a
means of improving heat transfer.
The heat is transferred from the valve
stem through the valve guide to the air
cooled cylinder head. While oil lubrication
of the valve components does provide
some cooling effect, heat transfer is the
prime means of cooling exhaust valves.
Correct leaning is also critical in
maintaining cylinder head temperatures
within published limits and therefore
prolonging valve life.
