I haven't been informed of it either. Friggen great. $120 for the medical and $130 for CASA. $250 for a medical every twelve months. friggen Pathetic.
Add that to the stupid and pointless ASIC card and the pathetic photo licence and all the security checks. A pilot in GA will have to earn twice the going hourly rate just to stay in the job.Add the fuel price rise, the overcharging pricks that own the airport charges, the tower cost, the theiving maintanance and parts shops and then pass it all onto the customer and they will be paying $600 for an hours joyflight in a 172. Yeah, thats going to become a sustainable industry for all. there are costs I haven't mentioned but will surely add to the expense. watch the pilots get screwed on wages further as people try to cut costs to stay in business.
looks like CASA may just get thier wish and get rid of GA in the near future.
