Monday, 30 March 2015. Australia tightens cockpit safety laws. From today it will be mandatory for two people to be in the cockpit at all times on all international and domestic flights, the Federal Government says. Australia's Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the new policy would apply to aircraft with 50 or more passengers. This will mean that one of the flight attendants would come and sit in the cockpit if one of the pilots needed to leave the flight deck for any reason. Sunday, 29 March 2015.

It was time to call on customers in the Wide Bay Burnett area (i.e. Hervey Bay and Bundaberg) once again, so yesterday I headed off and slowly made my way to Hervey Bay where I stayed last night. This morning; with only having one customer left to see; I headed off to the airport before the 90 min drive from Hervey Bay to Bundaberg. It was nice to see a few different aircraft on the ground.
