Guest Fred Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Greetings all.Just wondering if anyone has had any dramas with their rego renewals.I have just posted mine out today and to be honest, a little nervy about all the delays that have been talked about with the CASA audits. Would appreciate any feedback.
Cosmick Posted July 20, 2013 Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Fred, How did you go. Renewed mine a few weeks ago, took a record 6 working days
Guest Fred Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Gday Mike Posted out all pictures and rego forms and payment last week,I still have 3 weeks rego left,so I reckon I will still be popping the champagne corks even if recieve the new rego 7 days late.Thanks for the reply,and by the way i got a new line guard so the chute stays now on the machine,sure makes things a breeze on set up.
Jabiru Phil Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Sent mine in last week with all pics. Apparently Jab never previously supplied pics with the registration applications I hope all will be well. My original registration was in October, it's now back to August. Seems that I have lost a couple of months somewhere! Phil
Cosmick Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Apparently Jab never previously supplied pics with the registration applicationsPhil I don't think the Australian manufacturers did which is one reason why the workload is currently so high and will be for a 12 month cycle
Guest Fred Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I just thought i would send these photos of my bit of a wild experience ,I mean the dark murky photo was when the weather suddenly turned feral on me at 1000ft.Must have been the longest 15 minutes back to the airfield I have rode.They sure handle well in the wet though.The other photos were taken a week later.
Old Koreelah Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Sent mine in last week with all pics... What pix? I received my renewal notice last Friday; same as always, with no request for pictures.
Guest Fred Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 What pix? I received my renewal notice last Friday; same as always, with no request for pictures. Apparently it is new thing that has arose with the past CASA audits.This is what I was requested to do on the rego renewal form.You should ring them up about it so there wont be any delays with your rego.
Cosmick Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 I got two requests, first one without photo requests, I sent off through pulse and a few days later got an email conf re-rego and PDF of new cert with card to follow. Then I got the second request advising rego overdue and pix required. The card then arrived so I sent the pix with copy of new cert and request they place on file.
FlyingVizsla Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 We have two aircraft with overdue rego. Got a preliminary request for info (photos), started complying (aircraft is 7hours drive away), then got another list that has a lot more. As one was a recent home built the request was for the info that went in but seems to have been lost. The other had been registered for many years and needs underwing numbers - again another trip. By the time we discovered we needed an inspector to provide W&B etc the aircraft was out of rego, so now need to get an inspector to come to a remote area. The boss is losing enthusiasm. We will fly again, unlike some who now own garden ornaments. The C152 is undergoing a repaint and refurbishment, just when some quick transport would have been ideal. So rego time depends on the response from HQ (which is much better now), but also on what the previous administration has "lost" or not asked for when the regs changed. Sue
ave8rr Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 It beats me as to WHY we need underwing rego numbers. Done away with in other (CASA) areas. Seems RAAus could ask CASA for a rule change and amend ops manual.
dlegg Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So if aircraft is grounded due to raa inefficiecy, it is in a remote location, you now have to foot a large bill for an L4 or LAME to travel and do a W&B?
FlyingVizsla Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 We have been asked for our CURRENT Weight & Balance signed by an Inspector. A copy of our W&B provided when the aircraft had its final inspection was attached to the request. Reading the Ops Manual it seems a W&B can be done by an L2 - so beats me why we need an inspector (L4). Can only surmise that there was something wrong with the initial W&B - which was done by a LAME/L4. Sue 1
FlyingVizsla Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 So if aircraft is grounded due to raa inefficiecy, it is in a remote location, you now have to foot a large bill for an L4 or LAME to travel and do a W&B? I think there are a lot of planes grounded due to "RAA Inefficiency" - people who now find that even after years of safe flying, their aircraft should never have been registered because it lacked a CofA, or regulatory changes were not communicated, or enforced, paperwork went missing - guess someone looked at it, said "Yeah, this complies" OKed the renewal and binned the filing. When we got the letter asking for (among other things) photos of the underwing numbers, my darling argued long that it did have them, I hadn't looked hard enough. It was quite a surprise to him to find the under wing rather blank when he got there. So, getting numbers cut, have to pick them up, then travel to wing, apply, photograph and go home without a fly. Sue Others are worse off than us
FlyingVizsla Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 Sue is yours 19 reg? Our fleet 10 - out of rego - need under wing No.s, aircraft drawings & data pack, more photos. Not sure where the drawings went - lent to someone? Built more than 20 years ago. 19 - out of rego - need Inspector's W&B, more photos 55 - renewed - out on loan 10 - won't bother - Scout needs lots of work & he's too heavy to get it off the ground. The C152 has to go for its corrosion inspection, its in pieces getting stripped and refurbished. We have turned the house upside down looking for things (he loves junk with a passion) and keeps all his magazines, receipts, old nails, dead oil filters & batteries, phone books etc, but not in any order or accessibility, so finding anything is a challenge. It also doesn't help that we have things spread over several towns as we both live & work away from home and our hangars are a distance from us - the furthest is 7.5hrs drive. So, thinking "it's probably in the top drawer at ..." means it will be a week, a fortnight, a month or 3 months before we can check. We will be driving to Ausfly. A bit of aviation porn might get him motivated again. Sue 1
Guest Fred Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Faith in the RAAus was restored today,Rego certificate was emailed to me this afternoon and told the rest will be in the mail soon Rang them up this morning told them I sent all pictures and aircraft take offs and landings and hours done 4 weeks ago,and my rego expired 2 days ago,and they were right on it.If any ones rego has not come through the mail,dont wait ring them up.
Jabiru Phil Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Sent mine in 3 weeks ago. I am O/S and wanted it when I get home in two weeks time. Sent with all pics. They sent receipt today per email for $130 so I imagine the rego will be in the mail when I get home. Yippee.
Jabiru7252 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Rego runs out tomorrow, nothing heard for three weeks. :-(
Jabiru7252 Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Rang, they said I have to wait at least another two weeks. Rego ran out on the 14th. Apparently they have a person on holidays! Where I work, if there was that sort of pressure there would be no holiday leave granted. Oh well, weather is crap for at least a week and the plane is due for its yearly.

Not necessarily Phil, I've heard of cases of extended periods between Receipt and Certificate. You should email/phone and chase em up NOW
AVOCET Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 Not necessarily Phil, I've heard of cases of extended periods between Receipt and Certificate. You should email/phone and chase em up NOW I thought you could fly on the reciept , No , I don't mean a paper plane ! Not a bad idea though ! Mike
Cosmick Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I thought you could fly on the reciept ,No , I don't mean a paper plane ! Not a bad idea though ! Mike No, they just have your Money
Gforce Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 I renewed mine today so hope it will be done prior to my expiration date.
