2009 Nationals

When Part 149 comes into effect (been in the pipeline for near 10years) you will have a choice of registering your Gyroplane/Ultralight with the CASA.You will also have an option of getting your "Licence" with them,doing BFR"s having thier TA"s sign off your machine and all the other things ASRA volunteers do now.All this and more for a very reasonable $180 (or whatever) an hour office time and god knows what per hour "field" time.I"m sure CASA people are waiting in anticipation for the first person to come along and try this way. ;D

pass......

[NiqueNaque]

Passssssssss

[Adrian S]

Murray,I think that this will be the best thing to happen for ASRA - maybe now some of the whingers may realise what is the $ value that ASRA and its volunteers do for them as well as how quickly we react to their requests compared to a big GOVT agency.My 10c worth ($100 if I was wearing a CASA hat),Adrian

[Mark Horan]

[Disco]

I wonder when it would benefit anyone to go outside of asra?maybe 3 place machines or something?

[Greg Mitchell]

Murray,We keep hearing ...."when part 149 comes into effect"Any idea what year it might come in and how is it looking for the Mustering Endorsement process?Thanks.Mitch.

[asra]

Birdy, don"t hold back.Disco, I don"t think there will ever be any benefit going that way, its just legally they need to give you an option if you don"t want to be in an association. I doubt you will get any more rights or freedoms than are available to you now.Three/four place machines? nothing to stop you doing that now, VH registered experimental of course. The RV 10 fixed wing for example.Mitch, CASA were aiming for this year but your guess is as good as mine.

[Disco]

Everyone inthe aviation industry who I look up to have a lot of complaints about the way casa is run.

[Adrian S]

Disco,The classic for me is the $230 I had to pay for a renewal of my annual ASIC clearance and the $230 annual fee I pay for my CASA medical to be processed (the CASA fee is additional to the fee from the DAME). The plus side I dont have to pay an annual registration fee(one off fees only) for my RV4 or Lonestar but the gyro"s and ultralight cost each year.When I had the final inspection for the Cert of Airworthiness for the RV4 it was $350. I have never charged that as an ASRA TA!Like others I cant complain about CASA quality, only the time they take to action somethings and the cost they charge compared to ASRA or RAAus.My 10c worth,Adrian

[Disco]

Dunno who picked up the tab for my Class 2 medical.
