Community service flights new rules

Resolution

Looks like CASA have drastically wound back their proposal and issued Instrument 09/19 and a checklist for pilots. Requirements appear to be :

Pilot (for PPLs - there is another section for CPL/ATPL)

• 400 TT
• 250 PIC
• 25 Multi (if flying Multi)
• 1 landing last 30 days in same aircraft class (or type)
• Class 1 or Class 2 (not Class 2 basic)
• For IFR - 20 hours on type
• For VFR - no night VFR & 10 hours on type

Aircraft

• Registered
• Not amateur built, limited or experimental
• Annual inspection (no more than 12 months or 100 hours since last periodic inspection)

Passengers

• No more than 5

Flight Notification

• Must be to Airservices
• Must have "CSF" in Remarks

None of this Charter or Airwork category stuff seems to have survived. The Flight Notification requirement will get interesting when FunFlight and others want to do a lap around the training area 20 times in a day!

Would appear to be a win for Angelflight and, dare I say it, common sense!
