DrZoos Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Not in our flying lifetime Frank.Time to give it away me thinks and find something more enjoyable to do with my remaining years that doesn't involve Canberra. Seriously it cant be that hard can it. I have my first rego in a May. The rego transfer on purchase took a bit, some photos of placards and wing numbers, but it was pretty straight forward an painless. Didnt get any weird questions or requests. But i got to say the staff on the phone are excellent. Very helpful, pleasant, they speak English, they are in Australia and unlike Telstra you only have to call once about an issue, and if they say its fixed it is.

Keith Page Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This is getting interesting; weren't CASA supervising last year? With my renewal saga. When challenged regarding the prop, I was told, that what casa wanted. To me something it not true casa supervised last years renewals hence all information was correct at that point and all the correct information is on the data sheet which comes along with the renewal form. Can not understand why the redoing of everything as I have just renewed my ASIC card and the excuse for taking so long was that they are so busy. Why do work more than once?

farri Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Can not understand why the redoing of everything .Keith Page Nor can I! I find it interesting that I`ve been asked to supply photos of, ' Registration on the right hand side' and 'Registration on the left hand side ' (exact wording) so I sent our 'Aircraft Administrator ' ( RAA now has an Aircraft Administrator ) an Email asking to " Please explain to me why they require photos, as I supplied them on application of my current rego and no changes have been made to the aircraft." Regristration requirements can be found here. http://www.raa.asn.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Section-4.09-Registration-and-Markings.pdf Unless I`ve missed something, it also appears that the 95-25 catagory ( which my aircraft is ) no longer exists.

farri Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Goodonya Bob!!! The system does nothing for me except to continue to send me membership and rego fees, that continue to rise. Two year Registration?... Got to be joking!!!...They`re wasting enough of our money with what they get in one year! Frank. Ps, I don`t need anything from the system, I`m capable of doing it myself.

farri Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 First, I must give the RA-AUS Tech Team, full marks for their prompt reply to the Email I sent them yesterday. Ok guys!... Here is the reason for the request of furthur photos of my registration markings!.....Waite for it!!!!!!!! I have no hyphen between the numbers 25182 on the fuselage tube. As per the ops manual I should have a hyphen so the number reads 25-0182. I overlooked the hyphen when I put the numbers on and didn`t realise there was a problem because this has always been acceptable in the past. The other thing is! My under wing numbers read 25-182 ( I remembered the hyphen when I painted them on ) , however, I`m being asked to display 25-0182.....The current RAA ops manual reads and I quote " Except that leading zeros of registered numbers are not required", so! As I understand it, I shouldn`t need the leading zero!... I`ve asked RA-Aus to elaborate on this and I`ll post their reply as a 'heads up' to others. Frank. Ps, Where are you Ross,Major,Sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Gees Ross, I`d like to think that you are correct!...But!.....I`m in the process of submitting my documentation for re-regrestration of the Drifter and gues what!.. I`ve been asked for some of the info that I gave them last rego time.How can any of us continue to have confidence in the system when this continues to happen. When and how long is it going to take them to get it all sorted out? Frank. As your NQ rep Frank I will look into that for you....it's the second or third complaint I have had in a week.......Cheers Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Who did you send your email to Frank? You are right about leading zeros not having to be displayed. Changed rules again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Who did you send your email to Frank? ozzie I addressed my Email to the RA-Aus 'Aircraft Administrator' and used the Email address supplied, which is, [email protected] . The letter I received from RA-Aus requesting the changes was signed off as ' Aircraft Administrator.' There is a signature but no name of the person who signed it.

Nev Hey Nev!......I hope you`re kidding!...There is no argument here...I`m well and done with saying " How high sir " when told to jump! Anyone quoting the ops manaul to me better be correct in what they say. And that goes for RA-Aus. I`ve been through this type of thing, more than once in the past. In case you missed it in my previous post! My under wing numbers are painted on. I have two options in adding a leading zero! One is to paint over the existing numbers and start again! The other is to put on new wing skins. Frank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDQDI Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Leading zero's etc. Surely you are arguing about nothing? Nev To a certain degree I agree with you facthunter but at the same time if that's what is in the ops manual and his plane already complies why should he have to redo the signage? I haven't read the ops manual so I can't offer an informed opinion as to whether this is right or not but if it is then farri is right to be upset. I have to mention as well that I had a question regarding filling out paperwork for ASIC and I rang the RAA office and I can't praise the staff highly enough they are always friendly and happy to help with even the most silly questions that I have:cell: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ozzie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 You would not know who signed the letter as it just says kind regards and a scribble signature. No printed name. I have not recieved a reply. But then i was pretty much to the point. Can't help but think maybe middo helping out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboplanner Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Poor old Facthunter, one day labelled as a red ragger, and now he can't even have a joke. Arguing about nothing = arguing about a zero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalman Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I was a bit annoyed when I couldn't go RAA with my plane ( loooong story) and went GA experimental instead,,,,,,feeling better about it all though nowadays, strangely I could now go to RAA rego if I wanted,,,,,but that would be just plain stupid !!!

I don't know if it helps any, but, I've only recently (Oct2013) registered my Drifter, 25-0408. The photos I sent quite clearly show 25-408 on both fuselage and L/H wing underside. I made it that way after reading the very same Ops manual text that you've posted. Maybe just paint over the zero on the fuselage and put a hyphen on it.

farri Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Arguing about nothing = arguing about a zero Who`s arguing?.....I made it clear in an earlier post that there is no argument on this issue. In my posted #33 I posted the link to the section of the RAA ops manual refering to the requirements of registration markings. Anyone interested should read that section before commenting. Read the section in blue which I`ve taken from the email I received from the RA-Aus. and attached was a copy of the section of the ops manual refering to registration markings. "As stated on the letter of request as per the operations manual outline that the registration markings on an aircraft require a hyphen “ - “ between the prefix and the registration number aka the markings should show as 25-0182." I`ve gone to the trouble of posting on this issue so that others who don`t have a leading Zero in their registration markings are aware of this. Frank.

turboplanner Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Franco, he wasn't participating in the serious technical discussion, he was cracking a joke. If for example you are arguing that the chooks laid zero eggs today, it could be said you are arguing about "nothing" a play on words for zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ask RAAus to apply for an exemption to have under wing numbers removed as per GA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
