Horatio,
Is there not provision to apply for an authorisation under 61.040 in accordance with 11.055? I thought this was the equivalent of the previously issued CAR 5.20 Approval to give training, and CAR 5.21 Approval to give conversion training. This would be a definite cost saving.
Admittedly, I am no Rhodes Scholar (one needs to be, lately) and I do have trouble making sense of it all. Despite having the several documents open at the same time for cross-referencing, (need more screens) I am no closer, but I do have a headache.
After several readings of;
11.055 Grant of authorisation
61.040 Approvals by CASA for Part 61
61.150 People who may grant flight crew licences, ratings and endorsements
61.170 Grant of flight crew endorsements
61.180 How examiner, instructor or approval holder issues rating or endorsement
141.035 Approvals by CASA for Part 141
141.050 Part 141 flight training—requirement for Part 141 certificate or approval,
I thought one could apply for an 'approval holder' delegation and conduct training in-house. Probably still going to cost a shedload of dollars to produce ($1500), and get approved, sorry, accepted, ($15000) a course which shows show compliance with 61.040 (2)
Is this a correct reading of the legislation? Or would this scenario just be too practical?
