61.340 Production of licence documents, medical certificates and identification
(1) CASA may direct the holder of a flight crew licence to produce any or all of the following documents for inspection by CASA:
(a) the holder’s licence document;
(b) unless the holder also holds a medical exemption for the exercise of the privileges of the licence—the holder’s medical certificate or recreational aviation medical practitioner’s certificate;
(c) if the holder’s licence document was issued more than 10 years before the direction is given—a document that:
(i) includes a photograph of the holder showing the holder’s full face and his or her head and shoulders; and
(ii) was issued within the previous 10 years by the government, or a government authority, of any of the following:
(A) the Commonwealth or a State or Territory;
(B) a foreign country, or a state or province (however described) of a foreign country; and
(iii) has not expired or been cancelled.
As your drivers licence or ASIC/AVID meets these requirements does that not cover you if you had an older perpetual licence?
BTW the old regs stated they were moving everybody to the new photo licence in 2006, guess that didn't happen!
