Me thinks the website is wrong. we definately use 100/130 here not 100LL.
I fly or have flown an Auster (and a Tiger) on pure 91 and another Auster on pure 100/130. Talk to an engineer and set up the engine accordingly.
Each has advantages and disadvantages regarding avaliability such as avgas at pump vs. Airfields close to petrol stations vs. correct octane rating vs. aromatic fuel (not good for fuel lines if not the correct ones) vs. leaded fuel etc.

Given that he did not actually get through the security- what laws have they actually broken?
There are rules regarding filming on the airport land (http://www.aucklandairport.co.nz/Corporate/NewsAndMedia/FilmingAtAucklandAirport.aspx).
What else is possible (a reference of some sort would be interesting).
I think there should be an official and legal reaction- otherwise why have the rules there in the first place. Though at the same time a hysterical over reaction is a bit silly.

I'm new here, so hi everybody. My collection includes:
Tricycle Singles: C150 (Also 150TW) C152 C172 C172RG C182 CR182 (Retractable) C206 (Including a turbo one) (flown C205 as well) PA28 (140, 151, 160, 180, 181) PA28R (Arrow) PA32 (Cherokee 6) PA38 (tomohawk) Robin 2160/2120 Ercoupe415 Bolkow 208c Yak52
Tailwheel/skid Singles: J3 PA18 Auster J Series Percival Provost DH82a Tiger Moth DH83c Fox Moth
Twins: Cessna 337 (technically a single as far as the logbook is concerned, but has 2 engines) GA-7 Grumman Couger BE76 Beech Duchess P68B Partenavia PA23 Apache (150hp) PA27 Aztec (actually PA23-260) PA30 Twin Comanche BN2A Islander BN2A Mrk III Trilander (Type Rating only, no further flying to my disappointment) DH104 de Havilland Dove CV580 Convair
I consider the 150/152 a common type rating and in fact flew both during my ppl training (as well as PA28-140) and only got a C150 as part of my PPL issue.
The Type Rating rule allows for similar types to be grouped at the instructors discression, so it depends on the instructors opinion, your total experience, experience on type and possibly which you do first, with the C150 having less power and more flap requiring more attention.
So also in my case my R2160 rating is what was issued, but I flew the 2120 under the similar type rule following a circuit check. Similar applied to the PA28 Cherokee series but generally no circuits.
The Arrow was a seperate type rating being CSU and retractable and the turbo version would probably be as well.
I keep thinking of more not on the list... must keep a copy and put them on my licence next time I send it in.
