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.

Interesting I find glass much quicker to read.

Unfortunately it looks like KTI is no longer made. Should still be good for its stated battery life.

I got it too. Seems to come after you signed the petition so definitely related to the company hosting the petition site. Another thing that RAAus forgot to check ? Oh, is that a Cirrus ?

Same as RPC. So you add a cross country endorsement and you can fly anywhere in Australia (outside controlled airspace). Then you convert to RPL and the cross country converts to a Casa navigation endorsement. Same, same. If you want to fly in controlled airspace you can add controlled airspace and controlled aerodrome endorsements to your RPL.

I do not think MOSAIC will make much difference in Australia in the next 10 years (except perhaps give us access to larger, cheaper planes). We already have RPL and class 5 medical which puts us a long way ahead of the US. Have a look at RPL it really is straight forward and relatively cheap.

This one ? https://www.acrartex.com/products/resqlink-400/

Sad but true. A few US youtube videos with cars over 50,000 mi without an oil change. Oil changes are easy to do yourself and cheap.

Zoleo, SPOT, Garmin Inreach etc are not ELT/PLBs. They are satellite messengers. While very useful they do not satisfy the legal requirement of carrying a ELT/PLB if you are travelling more than 50NM from your base.

GME have a pretty good reputation and I would go with a GME MT610G - https://www.gme.net.au/au/emergency-safety/mt610g/ Have a look at the marine places or ARB. About $350.

What I do with all other engines is check the oil level when it is cold and full to the mid point in the dipstick range. Warm the oil up (but not too hot) before draining.

Nope not me. You know there are several different questions here right ? Casa licenses are the only ones that currently have this endorsement. Does not surprise me that a Casa instructor will not do any training/endorsement work in a non Casa registered plane. Why does RAAus not yet have a controlled airspace endorsement ? Good question. RAAus seem to be saying its Casa problem for the delay but I do not see RAAus driving it as I would have expected. Maybe in a month (or 6). I am not either a Casa employee or an executive member of RAAus just trying to lay out the regs as simply as possible.

If, for example, a pilot had a current RPC but a non-current PPL then they could not legally fly into controlled airspace in any aircraft. This is not something new, it has been this way for a long time.

Skip perhaps you do not realise it but you keep changing the question. Yes, you can do a flight review in a Casa registered aircraft and then advise RAAus and they will reset your RPC BFR expiry to the same as the Casa flight review. If you do a RAAus flight review your RPC BFR expiry date resets. If you advise Casa of this RAAus FR they will take no action and advise that you still need a FR in a Casa registered plane. You can fly either a Casa registered or RAAus registered plane into CTA with the required radio and transponder. The pilot must have a current PPL or current RPL with controlled airspace endorsement. If the pilot does not have a current Casa flight review then the pilots RPL/PPL is not current.

A flight review for a Casa license must be done in a Casa registered plane. This is a Casa requirement and has been so for a long time. Just like a flight review for a RAAus certificate must be done in a RAAus registered plane. This is a RAAus requirement and has been so for a long time.
