Yeh right, lets all go back to candles and kero so no
one gets an electric shock, and walking so theres no car/horse/bike
accidents, eh?
And who does the widow sue when they hit a swer
line with no PDA?
Beside which the PDA would be refered to at
outlanding decision making time not final approach.
There
a certain irony in technophobia via
email.

Wayne,
Good Idea!
Each jurisdiction would (ahem
- should) keep a spatial database (one that has a map integrated into it) of
the location of each line, typically, in a format compatible with Mapinfo or
ArcGIS.
Can't see any reason why this
information wouldn't be available to the public...
Keeping this information up
to date in a central repository available to pilots might be something that
the GFA "IT people" could take care of.
Or, in keeping with the trend
in the Spatial IT and Cartographic industry sectors, the information could be
made available through what's known as WMS or WFS servers, converted to a
Winpilot type format by someone in the know (at GFA? RAA? CASA? or all of the
above...) and then used by pilots...
...Just got the replies by
Scott and Derek, sorry, SWER wires are private? Huh?
By that, do you mean that
they are run by the local councils or the elec. supply company?
Any electricity Supplier will
still have this information in spatial format, which is interrigatable by us,
most local councils have some kind of cartographic and planning division
also...
Just a case of asking I
think.

Hi guys, we all know
the dangers of the evil SWER type powerlines across
our wide brown land. As an idea for discussion, Is there a
database
available on these lines
and if so, could it be fed through into Seeyou
or Winpilot to warn when looking for outlanding
sites?
If there is not a database,
perhaps we need to lobby for one?
