RAAus aircraft used by SOAR operated under CAO 95.55

From CAO 95.55
6.1 The following general conditions apply in relation to a relevant aeroplane:
(a) a person must not use the aeroplane other than for:
(i) private operations, including glider towing, but not an aerial application operation; or
(ii) if the aeroplane has been wholly built and assembled by a commercial manufacturer — flying training, to enable the person to obtain a RAA pilot certificate; or
(iii) if the person has wholly built or assembled the aeroplane, whether individually or with other persons — the person’s personal flying training;
