    I see RAAus have announced CTA access via CASA Instrument for those FTS operating in class C or D. Requires a medical etc and only signed off for each CTA pilot is trained for.

    I am wondering if the down grading of MTOW from that certified is a ICAO requirement. When NZ lifted the Ultralight MTOW to 600kg from 544kg a few years back I contacted the NZCAA about allowing a Jodel D11 into the Ultralight category and was told that as the D11 was certified to a higher weight (620?kg)That it could not be moved into the ultralight category and would have to remain experimental. Maybe CASA are now enforcing this and we will no longer see aircraft that are certified for a MTOW above 600kg being registered with RAAus.

    Dont you mean it is on their WISH list from CASA? As stated earlier the last info released on this subject was that a weight increase will not be considered until Part 149 is in place.

    750KG? I was of the understanding that CASA werent even going to talk about a weight increase until after Part 149 was in place?

    My understanding is that the aircraft were designed to a higher MTOW but were limited to 480kg due to the CAO at the time. How any "legal" training was done in these aircraft or others (Skyfox etc) is beyond me...

    I note in the RAAus Board release that there was mention of a change to the Ops Manual with regard to medical declarations?

    I see RAA have just announced an increase in membership and rego fees. They say there was in increase in membership of 8%. Time for some competition?

    Yes..ASIC killed a number of successful ventures here in Aus for touring pilots wanting to fly.

    And clubs can import a kit, build it, then put it on line for training and hire etc. Good to teach new members a bit about aircraft construction / Maintenance.

    Isn't the SAAA MPC just a paperwork course? No hands on Maintenance?

    The AU/Euro exchange rate is only going one way at the moment. Not good for imported equipment from that part lf the world which includes the Tecnam range.

    SAAA won't like this IF aircraft is being maintained by Owner / Pilot. These sort of things are covered in the MPC. CASA will not be happy.

    And NO ASIC cards to be seen on Rec Pilots.

    I am sure RAAus Ops/Tech staff read these forums. They could have clarified the use of 95.10 aircraft for solo training. I doubt anything more will be said by RAAus re this accident until the Coroner has had his say.

    RIP. Condolences to family and friends.. "Jet powered" I understood these gliders use a small 2 cyl 2 stroke engine that folds away behind cockpit?

    What about a Piper Vagabond PA17? Side by side, midlife Cont C65 engine, metal spar wings & on the RAAus register. Only one in Aus/NZ.
