We are not talking about flying in
the U.K , UAE , Japan , China USA etc.......We are talking about the basic right a Aussie pilot should have to a fare go ,equal to what it was prior to part 61 , to be able to progress their career and obtain a qualification , the part 61 changes that includes adding a flight test to the ATPL requirement in my opinion take away that right , the thousands of dollars needed to complete a flight test in a complex turbine aircraft (or Sim) are way too much for many average income pilots , this requirement in my opinion needs to be removed. --JTMAX
