Down under you are required to be trained on each type by a certified flying instructor and then fill out form and send to CASA who sends you out an aditional page for your licence book.
At one stage you could get it issued as all aircraft under 5700kg .
These days you can end up with Cessna 172R ! not even cessna high wing piston singles!
Needless to say a lot of LAMES taxy any lighties they have engine licence for and hope like hell they dont hit anything as the insurance implications are nasty.
