Good god why the hell would you want to go that way?!?!??? I'm coming FROM GA because it's up the paddle without a creek!

I must admit I came the other way too, though there are times when 2 seats just doesn't cut it.

 

So here is your Answer As per CAR 5.84

 

hold a class 2 medical

 

Minimum of 40 Hours flight time including:-

 

at least 5 hours General flying as Pilot in Command (ie solo)

 

and

 

at least 5 hours of Cross country flight time as pilot in command

 

and

 

at least 2 hours of Instrument flight time

 

This may be in a Registered Airplane, a recognised Airplane (ie foreign registered or military), a helicopter, Gyroplane, glider, power assisted glider, or a group A Ultralight.

 

1 of the Navs must be more than 150 miles with full stop landings at two or more airports.

 

so finish your RAA certificates and endorsements, then apply.

Thanks Aus Darren,

 

I was reading about some warbirds like the Yak and the Trojan......and I thought yeh...would love to be PIC of a T28 Trojan...ah just dreaming

 

cheers for the info much appreciated

At the Warwick Airshow in September they had a T28 and a Yak both doing joyflights. The T28 was in the $500 price range, the Yak was quite a bit less.

 

Both did quite a few flights during the day, So you can do it.

 

Jetgirl on this forum could probably tell you who the operator was, she operates a Yak and a Strikemaster out of Ballarat, And I suspect knows the other operators around the country.

 

Good Luck!
