heard a rumour regarding ASIC's!
already council airfield owners are refusing aircraft from landing at their fields without valid ASIC cards, then offering to issue a card to the pilot wishing to land there for the tiny sum of $240! (esperence council)

Like pilots, are aircraft required to display their asic card at all times?
How do aircraft achieve this?
Is there an EO that allows this to be done?
where do they have them displayed so that airfield owners can see them prior to them landing?

What the??
How can they refuse you to land, most would be CTAF's or MBZ's and they would not know untill you landed and got out of your plane, then what can they do. Nothing!! You can get back in and fly away again. It is not LAW until 1/1/06.
Why does this stupidity not make it onto ACA instead of other boring meaningless crap on our TV news. Hang on maybe Rove Live would be more appropriate!

I am not aware that anyone can refuse a landing anytime anywhere. All I can see is that there is going to be a monumental F%^& Up at the end of this year unless there is a single Australia wide ASIC.
I had fun at YMIA three months ago with this security rubbish and god help me if I arrive at YBHI on a Sunday morning when this stuff is in force! I simply cannot understand why the new photo ID is not simply taken as evidence of your bona fides.
As for the security locks, outside of YMMB and closer city airports its a joke.
Whats next? ASICS for hang gliders parachutists and trike drivers?

ASIC's for everybody
It only took 8 minutes to get this reply...... I am mighty Impressed
Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Dear Mr J430
As a pilot you can apply for an Australia-wide ASIC (valid for all
Security Controlled Airports) from a Security Controlled airport which
issues ASICs. A complete list of issuing airports is available at
http://www.dotars.gov.au/transsec/av...operators.aspx
Each issuing body sets the cost for processing an ASIC application.
These costs will not vary greatly between airports. Please contact a Security Controlled Airport listed above for cost details.
Our website (http://www.dotars.gov.au/transsec/atsa/index.aspx) has
further information regarding ASICs which may be of interest to you (particularly the Resources link), however should you require anything further please do not hesitate to contact us.

ASIC is still geared towards airside WORKERS! DoTaRS has no understanding of anything other than an employee at an airport.
Also read an article in the August issue of RAA. They are reporting that DoTaRS are saying that in the future CASA would be an ASIC issuing body.(?????) Wish someone in the halls of doom will finally join the dots and honour one check one card to do both jobs for pilots. Photo ID , wearable issue to act as a suitable ID. AVID=ASIC renewed every 4 years on date of medical. Esperence. gouging pilots eh! Looks like they do not want my business then.

They, the (Councils etc), can only charge the "Prescribed fee";
Prescribed Fees are set out CF Reg 5 ; CF Reg Sch 1 Corp Law.
[calculating the fee] $70 * number of minutes taken divided by 60.
If any Council, or issueing body charges more than $1.16 per minute to process the ASIC is in breech of the Law. If one can go to the Motor Registry with all paperwork intact and be issued with a photo licence in less than 5 minutes, ($5.80), the you are being ripped off and you should wait for Creampuff or someone possibly smarter to apply for a "public Interest and Test Case Scheme" grant to fight it. You have nothing on Mate, go for it.
Watch what happens with the "wharfies" ASIC's. It appears 20+% will get the sack because they have criminal records.
Most likely indeed.
Also take note that your Pilot licence is "Perpetual" and is "triggered" by a medical and now, a security check.
You cannot have your licence removed while some dimwit puts your file to the bottom of the list. You have a licence for life.
Anyone who applies for a photo ID licence MUST have it processed by CASA befor 31st DEcember 2005 so long as your security check is OK.
Security checks are being processed within the week and CASA are only processing Licences on a priority basis of an upgrade and more recently "student". (Typically Months).
Where you fit into this is anyones business, it would seem except yours.

Was told recently that in Scandinavia, pilots have one card - it's both your licence and ASIC. Smart card type with all the data on the chip.
Maybe that credit card licence wasn't such a bad idea.

I don't want CASA to have "all my data", the ATO have most of that and ADSB will probably bug us wherever we fly.
Credit cards have got more people into more trouble than anything else in this Country, why should we embrace such a concept when it only helps the Bureaucrats keep tabs on us?
Macquarie Bank have done a great job with Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport and the Banks should perhaps have this data to make all our lives complete.

I believe he was making a statement not an inferrence.
Are you happy with more Big brother interferrence in your life?
From what I have gleaned, the ASIC and Photo ID licence security checks are identical, yet one (the ASIC), is valid for 2 years and the licence check valid for 5. If as the Colonel mentioned the licence is perpetual, which I understand it is, why would both security checks be for different periods of validity unless CASA believe pilots are going to become terrorists in the ensueing 3 year period, or they have some idea of corrupting the perpetuity of our licence?
I would like to know more about the "prescribed fee" mentioned. It would seem we are being taken for a ride here with local Government and other "issueing authorities" if they charge more than this prescribed fee.
My security clearance was done in less than a week, still don't have a licence and because I made waves, I believe it is now on the bottom of the CASA pile.
Incompetence, corruption or obstruction are the only words that come to mind.

Some good news at last - the company mentioned above recently sent this reply to my email enquiry. The way I read it, $193 for the first issue then $143 every two years after that, unless we choose to surrender the card for whatever reason.
They seem pretty much unconcerned where in Australia we live, and whether or not we'll ever be in Merimbula.
----------
Dear [Lasiorhinus]
Our company at Merimbula Airport is an issuing body. All that is required is your contact details and I can sent you an application for you. The cost of an ASIC is $143.00 and we also require a $50.00 bond per card. If the card is not lost or defaced and returned to us if no longer required we refund the $50.00. The card is valid for 2years and then you need to reapply for a new card, security checks are carried out again and the cost of a reissue is only $143.00 provided we get the original card back.
Our new e mail address is [email protected] just let us know if you require a card, you will need a card for visits to airports that have a regular public transport services.
Kind regards,
Ian Baker. Aviation ID Australia Pty.Ltd.

ASIC
More interesting news
Dear J430
Re the advice below, I have just noticed that the web string for
'Security Controlled Airports', was incomplete, it should read:
http://www.dotars.gov.au/transsec/av...operators.aspx
Also, I understand that as of last Friday, CASA has become an authorised
Issuing Body for ASICs. All pilots should receive formal advice of how
to obtain an ASIC from this agency in the very near future.

Its a joke completely
Yes it is a complete shambles, anyone who honestly thinks this protects us from terrorism is obviously a bureaucrat or beancounter because these are the only people making money out of this excercise. Unfortunately we are under the power of a conservative fear controlling government, supported by media which have links to the government of course, which WE have continually returned to power. I heard ACA mentioned before, jeez last time I saw that was when I had food poisoning to assist myself to spew out the contamination in my gut. ASIC cards what a joke. no more comment apart from, maybe bend down a bit more to take it from the government beancounters a bit deeper. Until we have a change of government this will continue down the same path it has been following. Well, I better get of my pedestal and buy an ASIC, umm although you can get em in ******* for $5 and I'm sure nobody would know any difference particularly in regional areas! hehe..

Or perhaps...
when you applied for your new passport (you have to apply, they dont just send you a new one), in the space where it said "given nameS:", did you by any chance happen to write your 'given nameS'??

Have just driven down from Newcastle to Sydney Airport to lodge my application for an ASIC with SACL(sydney airport corporation limited).
Newcastle Airport refused to issue one as I'm not operating from that airport, nor do they want me to it seems......
Went through the process not unlike the RTA, take a number and wait. Must admitt, didn't take long, 20 minutes.
get everything done and then made the mistake of asking if my photo pilots licence carries any weight with the police back ground checks.
They turned around and told me that CASA will be issuing all pilots ASIC. Should get something in the mail from them soon as to where when and how.
I can't blame any of the people I have delt with when trying to get one of these cards, as everybody is saying, over kill, and basicly useless.
I do wonder what is going to happen come 2006 when they want everybody to have one, I can't see me getting one in the near future, not if it requires any more mucking about and travelling all over the place to get things done.
Anyway, just in bleet.
