Owning and flying N reg in Australia
Does anybody have any information or experience on owning an N reg airplane in Australia? I will be moving back there at the end of this year after a few years away and would like to buy an airplane when I do.
I have an FAA CPL and I am considering two possibilities;
1. Convert my licence to a CASA one. I have been looking into this and while the steps are well defined on the CASA web site, there would be a bit or work involved and it would likely take a while.
2. Keep my FAA licence and buy an N reg plane and look to convert my licence at a later stage. This plane would only be used for private flying.
I have looked through pprune and done a bit of googling but I can't really find any information on any pitfalls associated with N reg ownership in Australia (FAA flight reviews, maintenance etc)
Thanks,
