The proposed annual registration fee for GA looks kinda trivial against the fees I'd need to pay if I went back to RAAUS. Club membership and plane registration annually seem way up there to this bystander. Remind me what the advantages are of raaus?

RAAus;

You can fly up to 760 KG MTOW up 10,000 ft, VFR only with 1 passenger and self declared medical.

You cannot fly in controlled airspace.

 

CASA;

You can fly up to 2,000 KG MTOW up 10,000 ft, VFR only with 1 passenger and self declared medical.

With extra training you can fly in controlled airspace.

 

Oops

Hmm now I'm really struggling with this one. Lower annual fees and the above list have really helped remind me what I'm not missing 🤔😂 

 

So, I can currently fly aerobatics, formation and. IFR. Can fly in controlled airspace. Routine maintenance, apart from the avionics, is done by us. 

 

Guessing I should rejoin RAAUS and gain all the benefits of my RPC. 🤔🤔

Flying GA at 2000Kg is like heating the house by burning $100 notes in the fireplace.
