CASA will expand access to controlled airspace for sport and recreation pilots from 2025.

Something which might affect the finanical viability of CFA for some people is the currency requirement for three take offs and landings every 90 days.

An instructor performing training duties relating to a CASR Part 61 must do so in a VH registered aeroplane and hold the appropriate GA quals. The same instructor cannot perform that training in an RAAus registered aeroplane as his GA quals do not allow them to do so. If the same instructor also held RAAus quals they could only deliver the training specified in the RAAus operations manual in an RAAus registered aeroplane. 
I happen to hold both GA and RAAus instructor ratings and assure you this is the case. 

I accept your word that this is in fact the regulations / bureaucratic nonsense (aircraft registration determines flight training)  BUT what are the reasons, if any, behind such an  illogical ruling.

 

I would like to revive my PPL currency (lapsed about 2 years ago).

My strong preference (economic/familiarity) would be to the flight review in my own (RAA registered) aircraft.

My Sonex has the potential to be GA registered and is compliant with entry to Controlled Airspace, having the necessary, recently checked, communication devises.

What practical reasons can their be for not using my own aircraft,  other than some bureaucratic "territory" (RAA v GA) ruling???? 😈

Hi Turbs,

 

No idea what topic /point you are addressing here.

How about you use your well known legal interest,  to address the question of landing fees not being advertised.😈

A lot of the CASA / RAAus diferences were deliberately put in place mainly to make it easier on the RAAus side (with limitations). All of this was known at the time.

Now circumstances have changed and  people want other options.

 

A class 5 medical is straight forward.

 

You could move your registration to CASA experimental and then should have no problems getting your flight review done in your own plane. I do not know how much work this would be or how much it would cost but perhaps you could find out for us.

 

You would probably also need the SAAA course ($800-ish) to do maint.

 

All of these things are work arounds to harder options at time and money costs.

 

Lets not forget that there are still some people saying there should be no work arounds at all.

I'm addressing CTA and Currency for CTA.

I wouldn't write it of just because you don't know. Operations in CTA require you to maintain accurate tracks and identify specific ground markers and enter at specific places and make specificate calls, and understand what all the Airservices instructions (which are usually short and clipped assuming you're up to date etc.) so you need to be ahead of the aircraft without  being distracted by the equipment/controls etc.
