More in this thread. Change is in the air Mods..May be the two threads can be combined?

This is similar to how NZ run things. All aircraft are on the National register (ZK-XXX) Aircraft are registered class one ultralight if single seat, class two if dual seat and also LSA all with MTOW of 600kg or as appropriate. There are two groups that train ultralight pilots to Pilot Certificate level (SAC and MAANZ). PPL holders and higher can fly ultralights if so endorsed. There is NO requirement to have to be a member of one or other group except during the training period to Certificate issue. There is an annual "Airways" fee of around $110.00 for all aircraft on the NZ Register. Inspections are done annually and carried out by a suitably authorised person from one of the two groups for minimal or no cost. Clubs can buy a kit which can be assembled and then used for flight training etc. No requirement to have to be factory built.

Totally correct Turbs. All AOC holders need a SMS in place for their operation/s. Some on here know I managed a Certified aerodrome for a number of years and we were required to have a CASA approved SMS in place which was audited annually along with the aerodrome.

And they (Air Tech) have already delivered parts to Quicksilver owners here in Aus.

Oscar, I operate from Bundy and am not aware of any "Bundy Hangar Clowns Co-Operative" There was talk a year or two back of a group forming a breakaway organisation. There were two schools in Bundy. One (single CFI) operation which still exists and the other has not been operating for many months with equipment either on the market or sold.

Wont happen while CASA Approves airshows!

Got mine yesterday. STILL waiting for the Aug issue. First time in years that a mag has never arrived. AUS POST theft???

Never been a tower at Bundy "Bundaberg" that I know of.....

I can't help but wonder WHY the ATSB are interested in this accident. 1. Is it that it is a Jab? 2. A medical event with the elderly pilot? Both these (Jab engines and Class 2 Medicals) are of CASA interest at the moment.

Good to see that the ATSB are investigating A RAAus registered aircraft accident. USUALLY done by the police and we never hear any more. At least this way there will be a full report in time. The last one ATSB attended I believe was the Ferris Wheel accident.

My guess is that IF the answers were given out then over time a complete set would be available and candidates would just "click" and pass!

Existing L1 ONLY have six months before you need to do the assessment. See May 2016 Sport Pilot pg 35.

Back in 2013 or there abouts I pointed out to the Tech Mngr that it was no longer a requirement to display underwing rego markings on GA and why did RAAus still require it. I got a reply saying that that requirement was being dropped with release of the new Tech Manual. It has been. Same reply also stated that RAAus would not require more regulation than GA! Why then stage inspections with owner builder?

NZ validation of foreign licence VALIDATIONS AT PPL LEVEL A Validation Permit is not a pilot licence but a short term document which, subject to applicable conditions, allows the holder to exercise the privileges of their current overseas flight crew licence in NZ registered aircraft for which they hold a type rating or equivalent in their home country. It not possible for the holder of a NZ validation permit to gain additional type ratings or any other additional qualifications as these may only be issued to NZ licence holders. NZ Validation Permits are available for overseas licensed pilots who wish to fly solo or carry passengers on private day operations in NZ registered aircraft in NZ airspace. These are valid for a maximum of six months, but if the applicants overseas BFR or medical certificate expire within the six month period, the validity period of the permit is reduced accordingly. Full details of the validation process may be seen on our website www.caa.govt.nz On the homepage, under “Aviation Info”, click on "Pilots /For pilots from other countries (and Australian PPL holders)- Getting your licence recognised in NZ " The appropriate information is on pages 2 and 3. under the heading “Short term validation of overseas flight crew licences”. You may download and print the permit application form via the link shown in para 2 on page 2. It is important to note that applicants must hold a fully current overseas flight crew licence (at least an unrestricted PPL aeroplane or helicopter), meet the full NZ PPL flight experience requirements and complete a NZ Biennial Flight Review (BFR) at a NZ flight training organisation. Current means that the applicants overseas medical certificate must be unexpired and any competency requirement (BFR equivalent) laid down by their home state for currency of the licence itself must also be up to date. Applicants must meet all the NZ PPL minimum flight experience requirements (including 5 hour dual instrument instruction and 10 hours cross-country training; 5 hrs dual and 5 hrs solo); these are promulgated in Advisory Circular AC61-3. This AC may be seen on the CAA website www.caa.govt.nz “Quick Links /Advisory Circulars / AC61-3” Applicants seeking to exercise the privileges of an overseas PPL(A) must meet the applicable terrain and weather awareness (TAWA)requirements as laid out in AC61-3. Where applicable, applicants should be able to provide logbook evidence to the instructor conducting the BFR that identify any past training that may be credited towards the TAWA requirements and also when they undertake the NZ BFR, the instructor is to include some low flying and terrain awareness with this exercise and note proficiency in the applicants log book. Applicants seeking to exercise the privileges of an overseas PPL(H) must meet the mountainous terrain awareness training requirements as laid out in AC61-3. Overseas pilots must produce all their current documentation (licence, medical certificate and pilot log book) to a NZ Category A or B flight instructor. All applicants are required to meet the ICAO English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements. This may achieved in one of two ways, either they must have ELP endorsed to at least ICAO level 4 on their overseas licence; or if such an endorsement is not held, they are required to complete ELP in NZ. No NZ air law exam is required, appropriate theory must be covered during the ground phase of each BFR. Only those aircraft types for which an applicant holds an overseas type rating and a minimum of 5 hours pilot-in-command experience on type will be recognized and endorsed on a NZ validation permit . However, if they come from an ICAO state that does not issue individual type ratings they must have at least 5 hours pilot-in-command experience logged on each type they wish to operate in NZ. Following the successful completion of the BFR process, application is made to made to CAA for issue of the permit using form CAA 24061/18. A list of the items that must be sent to CAA with each application for a NZ validation permit is contained in the 24061/18 form. When properly completed paperwork is received in the CAA licensing office, the issue process is generally completed in between 3 and 5 working days. This time depends on workload at the time; applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Please note: Pilots who do not meet at least the NZ PPL minimum flight experience requirements, or who cannot produce a current overseas licence, current overseas medical certificate and pilot logbook and are not eligible to enter into this process. There will be no exceptions to these requirements. To save time later, you may complete most of the paperwork in advance. Forward the completed 24061/18 form, with all the items other than 4. (BFR) included as per the applicant’s checklist on page 2 of the form. A permit would be issued as soon as we receive confirmation that the pilot concerned has completed a NZ biennial flight review; please E mail or fax details to this office at the appropriate time.

This is great Ian. Many thanks for your time and money in developing the resource. A suggestion.. Can/will there be a proformer for a including such things as: TTIS Engine times BEW & MTOW Location Registration etc etc These figs should be filled in before an advert can be posted. Cheers

Yep...He's probably upset a few of those long time dept heads who won't accept change!

Sudden anouncement.. He just released his monthly news brief yesterday. I wonder if there has been any ministerial pressure?

Did you get her from Gympie Doug? She has been there for a while...cheers

Two evenings in a row that the site has been unavailable for viewing. Glad I am not paying for an advert at the moment.

I would love to know who initiated the move of the "Members Market" Should be back under control of RAAus on our own seb site.

Site down again...

Thats a Kitfox model 2, 3 or 4 Mark. They had R912 with radial type cowl.

DWF, great idea.. 1. Support or not for Weight increase. 2. Support for "Members Market" returning to RAAus control. 3. Position on Sport Pilot distribution. Just a few to start with. Mike

Rod, would you support bringing the "Members Market" back under control of RAAus Ltd? Were the OLD board in agreement to have it farmed out to Aviation Advertiser? With the new Website up and running, the Members Market could be making money for RAAus instead of lining another business's pocket. I was at the 1015 AGM at Bundaberg (Saturday) and on the Monday following an email was sent to members advising the move of the Members Market. NOTHING was said about this at that meeting.

This is correct.....
