Good morning XXXXXX,
just a heads up that approximately mid morning this Thursday July 9 you may see a light aircraft flying relatively low outside the perimeter of your mining areas.
We are doing some aerial baiting to try and get these dog numbers down.
We will be outside your fences but if there are any areas inside the fence like near the village that you have seen dogs and would like targeted please let me know.
Regards,
Steve Fisher

Hi Steve,
I believe Erlistoun station is intending to conduct a baiting program via light aircraft tomorrow morning. Just to kick off a few things our end can you please provide the following:
A map (if possible) of the areas you intend to bait. Failing a map, can you please list the areas you will be flying (i.e. XXXXXX, XXXXX XXX, XXXXXXXXX etc);
The type of aircraft used for the operation;
The amount of fuel intend to be used and carried onboard.
Contingency measures in the event of a bird strike engine failure etc.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
XXX XXXX
Hi XXX,
On the wall in your office is a large map. The areas shaded in pink are the mining areas controlled by you.The remaining white area is our station controlled by us. We will be flying over and baiting the white area not the pink areas.
The type of aircraft.
It's a small white plane with blue markings. Cessna and Tigermoth are two names of aircraft that spring to mind but as far as I know Tigermoths are very early type planes and have double wings. This only has single wings and appears modern so I'd go with Cessna.
I could be wrong, but suffice to say it's a pretty spiffy looking plane and I wish it was mine. Sadly it isn't.
The amount of fuel.
I'm not too sure as I didn't fill it up nor do I know how big the tank is or how much or how quickly it drinks.
However I just hope there's enough to get us all safely back to the airport once baiting is done. Heaven forbid we run out on the way home!
Contingency measures in case of bird strike and engine failure.
I'm not sure what the pilot has in mind, but for me while not something I have planned and practiced, I'd imagine I'll soil my pants rather smartly, scream like a girl and spend the remaining time aloft praying like hell I survive the inevitable crash into some pretty nasty mulga strewn country.
If I can answer any further questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
Steve
