CASA Digital Flight Crew Licence
You can now download your CASA issued flight crew licence on to your iPhone's wallet. Great idea but you still have to carry your paper licence with you because it doesn't show your medical. So what's the point of it? What have I missed?

I love the idea, could you point me towards a link to download it please?

You have to log on to the My CASA portal on your phone as the CASA system then recognises your phone. There is something about it on the My CASA website on the computer about downloading a QR code but the only QR code that I can find is on the digital version on my phone. It then joins your Covid certificate in the wallet.
I'm not overly computer savvy so I have more than likely missed something. It also doesn't work on Android yet.

Stupid CASA! They make Yes Minister or Monty Python look like serious dramas!
So, lemme see now....
When your phone is 'on' and 'active', you may have a licence.
IF your phone is 'off' you may or may not have a licence.
IF your phone is on 'Flight Mode' of course you may have a licence,
IF you have a piece of paper in your wallet / folder / flight bag, then you DO have a licence...no matter how 'tatty' that piece of paper may be...
That's PROGRESS.
So....Wot's the advantage..??

IF it’s in flight mode, you still have it. But the only place you’re likely to need it is on the ground, so why is flight mode relevant?
IF you are even required to carry your license on you currently (been a while since I’ve cared, because my company says I have to, but I believe there’s no requirement for a private pilot for example within Australia), then the progress is eventually you don’t need that tatty piece of paper, and maybe they might even include your medical certificate in it too! Imagine that!
THAT is the progress.
Stop looking at it like a critical old person.
