Perhaps going there will allow the return of discussion here to the original point raised.

I'm not allowed to post to tat thread for some reason

[facthunter]

Nor am I . it's some group.  Nev

[onetrack]

It is a private group discussion and you gain entry by messaging the original discussion starter, who controls who joins the discussion.

[facthunter]

In Principle I don't like that.   Nev

Screw that. If you want to move the discussion to another thread that's fine, but make it accessible.

[old man emu]

I don't know how I was able to post in it, then.

[onetrack]

Yeah, something odd is happening. Up top it says "open group", but on the right it says "leave group" - but I didn't ask JackC to join his discussion, and I notice I can post on the thread.

 

Time for Ian to let us know what is happening with the programming.

[facthunter]

Oh mighty one you are a MODERATOR, OME. Nev

This extract  from the RAAus CEO is somewhat concerning...
'As part of our ongoing Part 149 obligations, RAAus must provide CASA with a range of statistics, including safety and compliance data. For this first quarter of 2023, we’ve continued to see the same kind of non-compliances occurring, which is disappointing. As an example, we identified two aircraft flown without current registration, eight instances of Instructors operating with expired medicals, six instances of pilots operating without a current BFR, and the list goes on.'

I may be one of the pilots operating with an expired BFR. 

 

On two occasions recently RAAus have emailed me stating my BFR has expired and I have emailed back x2 the proof I would produce if ramp checked that my AFR is current for the VH and RAAus aircraft I fly. The RAAus record is still showing an expired BFR. I guess my crime is doing last BFR in aircraft with instructor not a member of RAAu$

It definitely does if th VH aircraft has a MTOW less than 1500kg, that was covered in the first and second email reply.

[facthunter]

Is it an office Fox Paw then?  Nev

[facthunter]

It's in your Log book isn't it?  Nev
