What is the difference between RPL and PPL?

That’s all I used to pass my examinations, then progressed onto Bob Taits Cross Country book for the XC endorsement.

Well finally had some time set aside this Saturday morning to go flying, now level 3 NSW lock downs have ruined it. Damn!

Thanks for all the replies, decided to give the freebie from casa a go. Cant really complain about free gear for the sole cost of postage, plus the extra information included in the pack. Will redesign my own flight plans to fit the pad size.

Cheers for the responses. A5 or a6 looks far more practical. I like the iPad use but hard to shake the paper habit.

What are the best recommendation for kneeboards? The A4 size seem hazardous for stick control? I predominately use paper nav equipment, haven’t test the waters with apps yet.

Wow solo in under 4 hours! Must of been confident. My solo was at 11.5 hours, was told by my CFI RAAus require 10 hrs plus pre solo exam.

Thanks for the reply’s, keep em coming. KR I’d be keen to see some info on your 9 if you’re genuine about selling soon.

G'day all. Apologies if this has been discussed previously. I'm debating ownership of an rv7a. Outside of the initial cost of the aircraft, what are some estimated ongoing fees. Rego, insurance, hangar fees etc... Essentially what does cost yourselves each year to keep em flying? Cheers in advance, Dan.

I’m also looking to “upgrade” my rpc to rpl. Eventual aim is aerobatics, can aerobatics be added to rpl or need ppl? Any decent flight schools in the adelaide area I could call?

This topic has been quite the interesting read. How has progress been? No updates for 10 months?

Thanks for the assistance. Western nsw.

Hello, anyone able to answer some question would be much appreciated. Are the Morgan‘s still in operation, their website looks fairly stagnant which is never a good sign. Are they available as a factory built for those who lack the free time and experience to build? Are they a reasonable choice for low hour pilots? Thoughts on Jab v Rotax powerplant, eg maintenance cost, reliability etc. Cheers, Dan.

G’day lads. I’m Dan, been lurking this forum for some time decided to take the plunge and sign up. Acquired my pilot certificate early this year, just completing extra endorsements. Loving the dip into aviation (I don’t come from a family of pilots). Spend most nights drooling over raaus compliant aircraft sale listings.
