Quote from the CASA Briefing Nov 2021......
Flying goes paperless for Christmas
Pilots will be able to carry their flight crew licence digitally on their phone or mobile device from mid-December 2021.
CASA introduced a digital view of licences on Apple devices in 2020.
Now both Apple and Android users can carry their licences digitally within Australia.
New regulations allow any document to be carried electronically when flying in Australia from 2 December 2021.
When using a digital licence pilots will need to carry another form of approved photo identification, such as a driver’s licence or ASIC. Digital licences are only available to pilots with an ASIC.
There are many pilots that don't have an ASIC as they do not operate from or to security aerodromes, so why is this so? What happend to the credit card size licence that was floated a decade ago?
