I did the work to bring our knowledge up to date on the Self Administering Organisations. Maybe it's the Thruster and Drifter and the other classes guys who should be taking car of this sort of question - you know your sector. -
CASA is free to choose anything that works well from other countries, and it and its predecessors have done that. In more recent years both CASA and FAA have changed regulations in line with ICAO and as a result the big gap between FAA and CASA is a lot less, and where people are comparing the rules they might remember, it pays to check both the current CASA regs and current FAA regs so see if they've changed to match ICAO.
-
Well in doing the research on the SASAOs I found some trends that indicate that skills in that area attract customers.
-
amended to Certificates or Licences. This was supposed to be an inert thread just showing the current structures of SASAOs and other organisations within the CASA structure.
-
No, I'm not making any comments on an unlicenced FAR Part 103. I'm commenting on Australia where we have our own regulations which we have to comply with. That should be very clear from the heading of this thread. What people do in other countries around the world is a matter for their jurisdictions.
-
These are respected groups and I wouldn't think any of them would be terribly interested in operating without licences or registrations or destabilising their supply lines by trying to bypass legitimate distributors.

In each State or Territory and example might be: There may be 26 Clubs in a race car Association representing race tracks. There may be 15 Associations each representing a different class of car. There may be 2 Associations representing Promotors who finance and manage events. They may all be represented as a Federation by the combined Race Car Associations, Class Associations, Promotor Associations. The Federation is the Peak Body beloved by Governments who only want to speak to one person, thus never understanding the breadth of any issue.

I’d sort that out first.

Part 103 is in USA. Here we fly the same aircraft in 95.10.
-
Have a look through 95.10 In some classes of power parachute, the qualification is RPC. In other cases around 15 hours instruction.
-
Yes, when you get to the power parachute and paramotor classes there are reasons for having two specialised bodies which enable you to do what you want to do since the training is a different standard and cost. There’s more detail there but I couldn’t access it without a SAFA membership. So out there on the paddocks there are several thousand people conducting affordable flying and communicating within the own bodies re flying reports, training, locations.

This shows the changes over the last few years. WX00207.docx

Those freedoms are still there. Kasper told us that. Quite a few people have been stitched up just by not checking; You could import a FAR103 Aircraft, but why not buy one locally under the Australian 95.10 category? Here is the website for Ultralights Australia Group: https://www.ultralightsaustralia.com.au/ It has links to its products: Aerolite, Quicksilver, Flyfox.

.....teeth; pearly white and able to strip auto cable all day. Not many people know that Winifred was one of the nest pianists in the world. When you bought her sheet music, thinking you might start up in competition the first thing you noticed were the extra five notes per word. Winifred was buried in Northern Rivers Memorial Park, South Gundurimba near Corakai, Lismore, with a small plaque. Elton John found out about it.

......when people were picking on me (before I joined the AFLW teams) and calling me "Twobums", Turbo came into a bar when several huge brutes were rubbishing me and cleaned it out.

That was more or less what we concluded when we were discussing the aircraft operating in SA at the time. It's consistent with range still being in the Top 4 EV issues when loaded and operating at highway speeds and in country areas. For RA airctraft training I would still look at a 70 kts product, so dramatically less hp consumed per circuit, and legal for 500 foot circuits, so less full power climb, less distance per circuit, more training circuits per hour. Those two things mean lower up front cost as well for the airctraft. Sure, it's not going to be used for cross country training, and qualified students are not going to be hiring it for trips away, but from my experience people who want to do that move almost immediately to something like an Arrow anyway, so it will cost them less to do the cross country training in GA.
-
So what happened to your J230?
-
It's not new technology. Hopefully the RA training aircraft are out there racking up training hours. Remember they set an endurance record, admittedly by being followed by two car crews with trailer-mounted generators. But range isn't an issue if the proposed operation is withing the aircraft's range and safety margin.
-
Following the sale of the Airport in 2012, a group of RA owners were going to move to another small field some distance away. Doe anyone know whether that survived. I've counted 9 members of this site with an array of aircraft from Jabiru, Morgan etc to a Wizard winged trike and a C150 who are no longer members here, so it's possible it failed. In 2009 there was a plan to turn it into a "Freight Hub" but of course a Freight Hub pre-supposes there is a huge tonneage which needs to be brought into that location and a huge tonneage waiting to go out to make it financially payable.

I take it you didn't bother to take the relatively simple step of checking what the SP2 Zone includes or take any notice of the fact that someone can put in an Application for something Pilots might not want and have it approved at the Tribunal. If I wanted this airport to stay I'd be on red alert right now.
-
No, you're correct. Just about every engine has its own lifecycle. Some, designed for linehaul over the road multi trailer work might have an industry expectation of 1.4 million km, but I've seen new model series with problems only achieving 650, 000 in their hundreds and other new modesl series coming off the line and achieving 2 million km. Going down to smaller diesel engines I've seen two different diesel engines going into the same application with one achieving a consistent 60,000 - 80,000 life cycle under the load and a competitor engine achievingf a consistent 250,000 and in later versions getting out to 800,000. km. Nothing beats costing each vehicle (engine) separately and totalling the invoices to bring you down to earth.
-
You get above that easily by taking it to the State Tribunal. Of course an awful lot of people sit back and do nothing and the Council decision stands by deafault.
-
It's staggering how much has changed since 2019 when I did an analysis of the lot. Adding to the cross owbership you referred to is the Chinese supply route into older brands.
