Aircraft Noise Certification | Airservices (http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/services/aircraft-noise-certification/)
Recreational Aviation recently advised an aircraft noise certificate is a requirement for every aircraft in Australia including RA-Aus. In most RA-Aus cases, once an application is completed and a certificate received, the aircraft is provided with an exemption from the requirement.(Either/ or both must be carried on board, I’m unsure). This appears to self cancel the requirement to apply for one in the first place. The process is free, (at this stage), however the noise certificate will not be linked to your registration. (strange and I don't know why).
The application process is difficult to understand and appears, but I'm not sure, to only require a certificate if a modification is done. This includes all GA aircraft even if you simply change a propeller.
It would appear this pertains to ALL/ EVERY aircraft including GA Experimental to Jets, except those involved in aerobatics? Aerial agriculture, balloons, firefighting and, of all things "environmental studies" aircraft.
I wonder how many people this little jerk around employs? I can understand a Turbojet, but a VW or Jabiru would be a known number one would reckon. Lycoming and Continental probably have such an thing in their certification process.
And people wonder why aviation is near dead in Australia.
