Minimum Hours per year

[Guest Guest]

Hey,

 

Just wondering if there is a minimum numbers of hours a year you need

 

to fly with the RAA pilot certificate before having to fly with a CFI,

 

thanks

Looking up the Op's Manual, it's a little vague?Check sections 2.8,2.9 and 2.13.Basic jist seems to be as long as you did a renewal flight within two years ago, you can still fly!But

 

the reality is that if you rock up to a flying school or club to hire

 

and fly, unless your logbook shows flying within the last four to six

 

weeks, they'll all want you to do a check ride with at least a senior

 

instructor.If you drive up to an airfield with your own

 

aircraft, at least one of the local operators should ask to see your

 

logbook and rego just for their own liability's sake.Once

 

again the reality is, if you are not known at the field, lots of people

 

will look over your plane, your rego card and someone will no doubt

 

want to look at your logbook again.If you complain too much

 

they may ask you to leave the field, or they will make sure they have a

 

witness or two of them saying to you "We suggest you don't fly, and if

 

you do we take NO responsibility for you"As for your actual question, I guess you only have to do one hour every two years, But it will be with a CFI!
