That's about it. Unlike the UK and US where a class up to a certain weight is allowed on a PPL or CPL, in these parts you need to have each type noted and signed off by an instructor in your logbook, turbines and those above 5700kg will be endorsed on your licence.

It's a bit nanny state but probably the only way to prevent people getting into an aircraft without ever having seen the flight manual or being aware of unusual characteristics.

Best you get a few hours on C206 before heading out to Bots, in other words.
