AK1-3 to Australia for CPL work

Dear Brian,

Thanks for reply. Am I seeing a commercial opportunity here ie importing AK to Australia as an alternative to R22? This is somewhat attractive under the current circumstances of a very strong and getting stronger aussie dollar.

There are problems with using the robbie for mustering and from reading posts on another aussie forum I gather the heli pilots in the mustering game see potential in the AK.

I understand the process would be long, and tedious, trying to get registration as it is dealing with government department bods. And no doubt expensive as it involves CASA. Not to mention the difficulties of I no speakie da Ukrainian'/ Russian.

From your experience in Aust aviation does the AK look like a good enough prospect to have a go at a registration process? I would try and team up with someone with an existing Air Operators Cert. Got any pointers as to who I should talk to in CASA?

Thank you. Koezy.
