No one, thanks for the post. I agree with everything you say and all I can suggest is that politicians should become involved. I don't know how else this will ever be implemented although if memory serves me correctly this is part of project Eureka from AOPA.

Non RAA flying schools are a dying breed and I often suspect that CASA would like all new private pilots either learning and flying RAA or not at all. If this was implemented it would make an instructor rating a great prospect. From my point of view all I want to do is be able to do conversion training from RAA to GA, provide training as required when flight reviews are conducted and the applicant is lacking some skills and be able to add a navigation endorsement to a Recreational Pilots License but under the current system I can't even do this. I have just watched a private pilot sell his lovely 152 and move to RAA because of a lack of a GA instructor. I could have trained him and there are others in the same boat.
