Oooh Maverick and J3Cub, we've hit a raw nerve haven't we???!

Well my answer on RAAus counting for CPL is it depends which CASA representitive you speak to as there is yet to be a definitive answer. So there, they don't even know for sure.

Looking at all the threads we can all see that. Full points yes you need to 100 hours in GA or a recognised aeroplane. As for the other 100, Reg CAR 5.115 states at least 100 hours as PIC, but does not state what sort of aircraft this has to be in... The Flight Crew Licencing Procedures Manual states 100 hours general (A) which means obviously aeroplane. And an aeroplane is, as per CAR 2 a power driven, heavier than air aircraft.

Either way this is an issue that needs to be put to bed, IN THE REGULATIONS.... Quite rightly so, why can gliders and gyros count but not ultralights?? I fly aircraft from one end of the spectrum to the other and, argue as much as you want, a 3 axis aeroplane is a 3 axis aeroplane, regardless of registration.
