why is the RAAus involved or mentioned at all??

the pilot was UNlicenced. and the aircraft UNregistered. and from what i understand is, the aircraft was a Gazelle. which can be either RAAus or GA-VH- registered.

the ONLY reason RAAus is copping the flack is some reporter mentioned the word "Ultralight aircraft" in the story.

even if it was VH regoed im sure it still would have been reported as an Ultralight hence dragging the RAAus into it even when they have no jurisdiction over VH.
