CASR Part 61 Licensing
CASA are running some excellent seminars on this, I attended one recently and was impressed by both the quality of delivery and the knowledgeable replies to questions from the floor.
There are two seminars available, a general one on part 61, EFB's, safety and online education products, also a specific part 61 seminar.
Go to: casa.gov.au, education, aviationworx , and have a look around.
The general seminar includes part 61 and is being presented in regional areas, the part 61 seminars are mainly capital city oriented.
Surprisingly there are some good things coming, but for ATPL, its going to become more difficult, such as a flight test in a multi engine turbine aircraft (or approved equivalent sim).
December 4th is D day if you have the subjects AND the hours and have a flight review or CIR renewal before D day.
There are some heartening improvements, such as instructing outside an AOC, and good news for the recreational pilots licence (up to 1500 kgs and driver medical).
Get to a seminar near you if possible, its mostly good news, and its in your interest to be informed.
Even though the safety advisors are primarily ex RAAF, they seem to be more civilianised than their mainstream CASA ex RAAF types.
