It doesn't bother me either way because I don't need fly GA into CTA.
But can someone tell me, for the sake of this arguement, how you can do your GFPT at say, Coffs Harbour, solo circuits and all, with a Student Pilot Licence? (medical perhaps).
Is GAAP a Control Zone in this case? It has a control tower.
I take it that GFPT to PPL NAV's are also acceptable transitting into or through CTR?
When are you actually endorsed to fly in CTR?
Therefor is it the aircraft or the pilot that is not allowed into the CTR?
If you have a class 2 medical and a fly a LSA certified aircraft, (600 KG), and you are endorsed to fly in CTA (whether as a PPL lapsed, current, or other), and you have a RA-Aus certificate to fly the LSA aircraft, can you transit through a CTR?
If it is the aircraft that is the issue, does this include "limited" and
"experimental" aircraft? Does it include LSA?
Further there are many many PPL's out there with a OCTA licence only because they either had no need or couldn't hack the standards to fly therein.
More information would be appreciated Jaba.
