Dafydd, you mentioned a little earlier: The inclusion of experimental aircraft in that Instrument was a clear abuse of regulatory authority. Could you elaborate your thinking, I've been looking at the CASRs, but can't quite see where that might be. Ta!

Civil Aviation Act: Part 1 Australian aircraft means: (a) aircraft registered in Australia; (it USED to say "on the Civil Aircraft Register" - which is VH only) ========================================== CASA Aircraft Register Procedures Manual 2. Registration of Australian Civil Aircraft 2.3.2 Registration of Ultralight Aircraft Ultralight aircraft are identified by a series of unique numbers constituted by the prefixes “10-“, “19-“, “24-“, “25-“, “28-“, “32-“, “55-“, followed by 4 digits. Theses prefixes are assigned according to the classification defined in the CAOs, 95.10, 95.55, 95.32, 101.28 and 101.55. Whilst ultralights do not use the ICAO issued Australian prefix “VH” and they are not registered in accordance with the provisions of the CASRs, CARs or this Manual, ultralight aircraft are considered to be Australian aircraft. =========================== Can you use it (RA-Aus machine) for AFR as the question relates? Is it an aircraft? YES. The RPL is about skills demonstration, competency based they call it. You can equally demonstrate those skills in a VH or RA-Aus aircraft. Your level of competency will not change.

I can't see why she can't fly herself - Airport operators are required to provide visitors ID card (VIC) and an ASIC equipped escort to those who do not have an ASIC. When she lands, if any goons approach, they will have an ASIC, and can be her escort! Make sure she identifies herself as just a visitor, and is requiring a VIC and an escort. Or MAYBE fax or email a request in advance to the airport operator so that she can take a copy with her. Don't ask for permission to land - it's a public airport. ASIC has nothing to do with permission to land. Just say "I am coming in on this date. I have no ASIC and will require a VIC and an escort to and from my aircraft, as required by Regulation 3.15 of the Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005." Job done. Your friend seems to be not eligible for an ASIC as she does not seem to have need for "frequent" access - ie, more than occasionally. Lucky girl! Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005 6.26 ASICs—application for issue A person who has an operational need may apply to an issuing body for the issue of an ASIC. 6.01 Definitions for this Part operational need means: (a) a requirement for frequent access to all or part of a secure area of an airport where persons are required to display an ASIC, for either of the following purposes: the operation of the airport or an aircraft; 3.15 Requirements for airside generally (3) The responsible aviation industry participant for the airside area of the airport must ensure that the area can be entered only by: (a) a person authorised to do so who: (i) properly displays a valid ASIC; or (ii) properly displays a valid VIC or TAC and is supervised by someone authorised to enter the area who properly displays a valid ASIC;

CAR 289 covers it nicely for you.

Remember - if you pull on carb heat - leave it on until after the engine improves. Your engine might run even worse for a moment or three while it ingests all the melting ice, but then it should clear. Pilots have gotten into trouble by pulling heat on, the engines stumbles further, then they take the heat off fearing it isn't having the desired effect. IT IS, you just have to have faith. Run your engine on the ground one of those type of days with the cowls off. You will be astonished at the amount of water forming on the intake tubing.

Aircraft propellers and spares was in hangar 9, until they moved around the corner, about ten some years ago. Some still call it Hangar 9 though - it isn't. You can buy one nut or one washer, or a hundred. Very obliging people there.

Mike (or Sig) (08) 9390 6938 is still correct in the current whitepages. A mate had some work done less than 2 years ago.

ASIC IS NOT A CASA THING. Blame/complain to Dept of Infrastructure and etc Aviation Transport Security Regulations 2005 ASIC/AVID 1.08 Security designated authorisations For the definition of security designated authorisation in section 9 of the Act, each of the following authorisations: (a) a flight crew licence; (b) a special pilot licence; 6.55 Exercise of privileges of flight crew licences etc (1) A person who holds a security designated authorisation must not perform a duty that is essential to the operation of an aircraft while the aircraft is in Australian territory if the Secretary: (a) has determined that the person has an adverse aviation security status; and (b) has given a copy of the determination to the person. Penalty: 20 penalty units. Note A pilot licence, a flight engineer licence and a special pilot licence are security designated authorisations — see regulation 1.08 and the Act, section 74G.

Ah, Dafydd, CAO 108.56 was cancelled 9 July 2013.
