JANDAKOT WA PSP 2026 – November 2026
Building on the success of the 2024 Perth PSP and the recent Maintenance Seminar also held in in Perth (and elsewhere), we will hold the 2026 PSP at the Royal Aero Club of WA (RACWA) over three days: Friday , Saturday, Sunday

Option1: Fri 6 Nov – Sunday 8 Nov

The plan is for students to arrive Thursday afternoon. Airside access will be RACWA.
Friday will be all day in a classroom at RACWA
Saturday we will split the group and ½ will go flying, half doing more ground school, then swap
There will also be PSP Dinner on Saturday night at a local restaurant
Sunday will be flying only, finishing about 2pm Sunday
Flying we plan to use Murrayfield (YMUL) for circuits, and the Class G airspace South of Jandakot for the air work.
In order to best fit the availability of the most people, and without obligation or payment, can persons considering attending please indicate their preferred week end (Option 1 or 2) to psp@mooney.org.au
We will then plan the event around the most popular option
Registrations will open in mid-late July
NO BACK SPRINGS
AMPA has a small supply of springs for Eaton and Avionics Products brand electric gear actuators. Spring kits are AU$4,200 each. Contact our treasurer (treasurer@mooney.org.au) to make the transaction.
If you have a Plessey actuator, Steve Nelson (Nelson Aviation Services in Corowa) has obtained an engineering order from CASA to modify an Eaton No Back Spring to fit a Plessey actuator. The EO cannot be circulated so Steve Nelson must do the modification to any other aircraft and he will charge a fee for the service. Also, the paperwork for each aircraft must be submitted to CASA and the DER charges a minimum fee of A$1,700.
MOONEY PARTS SUPPLY
LASAR Aircraft, the largest Mooney parts distributors for nearly half a century, was chosen by Mooney International to be the firm’s exclusive customer support organization and parts provider.

The Australian Mooney Pilots Association – AMPA – was established in 1991 with purpose of supporting Mooney owners in Australia, fostering goodwill and comradeship, safety and Mooney specific aircraft performance and operations through fly-ins, safety seminars and other activities.
AMPA runs an annual Pilot Safety Program, alternating between the eastern states and Western Australia. The program is designed to share knowledge and experiences among Mooney pilots, provide refresher training on Mooney specific operations and performance and improve the flying skills of members.
Membership also gives you a discounted rate on your AOPA membership and access to cheaper aircraft insurance through AMPA’s arrangement with Gallagher Insurance.
Our Events Calendar includes at least 2 fly-ins each calendar year. The first is held early in the year and coincides with our AGM. It usually incorporate a follow on flying adventure for several days. The second is usually held later in the year.
Other fly-ins occur when there is an event of particular interest, or spontaneously when members simply get together for fun and camaraderie.
