It seems this would be too difficult for an ex RAAF QFI. What if his whole plan is to operate a school specializing in fast jets?
There’s a lot of straw-manning there; no one said he should be completely prevented from flying a 152 or a Warrior? He was granted a a grade 3 FIR based on his military qualifications so he’s legally allowed to train in them. F-18s, Hawks, PC-9s are irrelevant when he wanted training approval for multi engine (real ME aircraft that produce yaw) and multi crew co-operation despite not holding those training approvals in the RAAF. He was granted an FIR endorsement for Aerobatics training because CASA found he had the equivalent in the RAAF.
He hasn’t been prevented from doing most forms of civilian training, he just needs to get a bit of experience and specific endorsements in those few remaining categories to get those added to his civilian licence. That’s it. He’s not being told to start flight training again from Effects of Controls.
