Experimental aircraft guidlines.

[Sloper]

Goodaye all

 

Can anybody help me with a easy to read guidlines for experimantal aircraft here in Australia?

 

The important questions are

 

Where can l fly it?

 

When?

 

Can l fly over popullated areas?

 

l have read stuff on the CASA site saying that you can apply for certificates to do some things but in reality how easy are they to comply with or get?

 

l am looking to purchase a kit aircraft that may have a MTW of 840kg.

I would recommend a quick call to Steve Bell at the RAAus office for the facts.................

Suggest your local SAAA chapter SAAA - We are the Builders of AUSTRALIAN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT would be a good place to go as well.

Basic Experimental is just about the same as RAAus. Day VFR, no IFR or night VFR unless approved according to equipment fitted. i think they can go into controlled airports and also fly above 5000', but need the same as RAAus would for radio and transponder.
