    Look at how many big shot car racers and aviators with thousands of hours training have died? IF I fly on my own property I can only kill myself? Yet ONE man can take 4 passengers and himself in a totally uncertified vessel to their deaths. Govts stood by and did nothing, even with all the publicity. We DONT live in a perfect World, and how boring it would be anyway.

    One thing you don't understand is…..you DONT need a licence to fly. the aircraft does not CARE. Just like a car, bonus is you can drive legally without a licence on your OWN property, just like you should be able to fly your plane…..

    Sadly, RAA will want nothing to do with ANYTHING outside its current policy agenda. Its a company after all 😞 Some in it, who have vested interests?

    A great supporter of Aviation you are. IF its not your way…..its the highway 😞

    Well I am making plans and I am looking into another piece of legislation that may hold an important key….

    No one, not even the FAA keep records of incidents or crash statistics. They have the understanding that the Part 103 people just run their own race and stick to the FAA A4 1 page of rules. Bet no one even gets a ramp check 🙂

    Mmmmmm……might get a quote to ship me an Aerolyte 103, with Hirth power 🙂

    I believe Floods have sold to a U.K. company.

    I got into a scrap with a broker over dishonest advertising in part by a vendor who handled the truth loosely. But the broker said they all do it that way.

    With my limited knowledge I will see what I can come up with, will be able to glean information from the EAA as a start….

    Backward thinking Australia all over, life has its elements of risk and nothing is perfect, just look at our recent most tragedy. All the qualifications in the World could not stop it……it comes down to the brains or lack of by an individual. Its impossible to protect all individuals, from themselves despite having mountains of rules…..

    We just give it another designation, CASA adopt the FAA rules and do like the FAA does and away it goes. The FAA leave it up to organisations like the EAA to support the sector and by being a member of that type of organisation you get support and you participate. FAA and EAA dont even have crash statistics data, because I asked for it, being an EAA member and doing research etc. IF a heap of these machines fell out of the sky, no doubt FAA would come down like a ton of bricks. I know people hate the concept, thats fine as they dont need to participate, just leave the people alone who want to give it a go.

    That is easy, just cut and paste all the FAA stuff and go for it 🙂.

    Its a company raising its prices how they want. I will bet some CFI’s will call it a day. Flying School rates will rise to cover it and in these times of an economic squeeze they may well decide its not viable to continue.

    The way thingsare going Part 103 will be all you can afford……

    Hummelbird Ultracruiser is Part 103 compliant. https://www.hummelaircraft.com/ultracruiser

    Nothing ventured, nothing gained…..

    Maybe we need to join forces 🙂

    Turbs, sorry to say there is ONE answer. Just adopt FAA rules holis bolus, dont change anything. WHY complicate the concept? Next job? Plan landing right to Avalon Air Show 🙂 🙂

    Air Venture 2023, how good is this 🙂 Applies to FAR Part 103 Aviators.
  21. jackc
    RAAus wont touch FAA FAR Part 103 with a 40 ft barge pole, UNLESS its its run their way. In which case the concept will fail on account of too many rules. Best thing RAAus can do is ignore it, it does not exist…… But as people move on from Part 103, RAAus will pick up on those Aviators wanting to move up, but RAAus cant see the woods, for the trees. They would want it their way, or its the highway. Besides RAAus is not structured to work with a Part 103 regime, as its a company. OK chuck bricks at me…….
  22. jackc
    But RAAus will not allow NO Rego, NO Licence and you would need membership, the very stuff, the low budget Aviator wants to avoid……
  23. jackc
    RAAus are a company that you must be a member and answer to, for all aspects of owning and operating your aircraft. Pay the appropriate fees including registration of your aircraft and membership. Yes you do get insurance being in RAAus. GA Aviators answer to CASA and don't pay membership or registration for their privileges? FAR Part 103 does not have any fees for licence or registration and I would ask for the same situation in Australia. We do not need an organisation set up to administer Part 103, that would add a layer of cost and added regulations we do not require.
  24. jackc
    Any links relevant to our desired Aviation regime? General laws maybe so, but Federal can override many of those too?
  25. jackc
    Why do we need to consider the states, its a Federal issue? The U.S. does not have differing rules for 48 states? I might add under certain circumstances Part 103 aircraft can be permitted to enter/pass through controlled airspace too
