Trike hire

[Teckair]

Can anyone advise as to whether or not trike hire is available in Australia?

I was told that there is a catch that prevents trike hire in Australia once you are licenced. The pilot is responsible for the airworthiness of the trike, but as its not yours you couldn’t possibly verify its condition.

Don’t know if there is anything to that story or if there is another reason?

The owner is responsible for the airworthiness 

 

There was was another thread about hiring a Trike a few years ago but I can’t find it now. Used to be one for hire through the royal Newcastle aero club. Registered through HGFA at the time

Some instructors will hire trikes out and there are some syndicates around to share the cost of buying. The closest to you would be Bundaberg I think so you could check with the instructor there depending on whether you are HGFA or Raa
