Is GA better now than 2 years ago?

[Crashtruk]

I did my PPL 2.5 years ago. Then I had 2 kids in quick succesion. As you can imagine finances where channelled away from A/C hire and into more family orientated items. I have not flown for 2 years, Radio controlled planes and MS Flight sim do not count:), knowing one day I would once again pursue my passion for flight. As that time is drawing near and I am preparing myself to rejoin the pilot fraternity. As I have discovered things have changed a bit over the last couple of years. The cost of my medical, NAS (changed, changed back, I am soooo confused) and then there is the ASIC :ugh: . Do you think GA is in better shape now, or was it better before all these changes took place. Don't get me wrong, change is a good thing, or a bad thing. It depends on what changes. How do I get back into the left hand seat after a lengthy break?

It actually doesn't matter what GA is like now, bvy the time you get current and ready to get a job or whatever, it might have changed again.

Just go for it, I say.

Interesting times ahead if you ask me...

GA is sort of the same (bit hard to tell while the walls are still moving). If your just buzzing around VFR for the fun of flight then I would say go RA. They seem to have their own rules and regs that are practical and easy to get a long with (EG they don’t shift while underfoot, and seem to care about membership). Also it’s cheaper, the aircraft are newer, and some can hold the same as a light single.:rolleyes:
Good luck and congrats on the littlens :ok:

GA CHANGES,

Well DOTARS, says we all need an ASIC to go and land at Birdsville, which has one RPT service a week, if im correct?

Good change? I think not. Good money raiser though!
