Coming back to Oz from working OS
Mornin' all..
If you've been working overseas for a couple of years and adhering to all the recency req. in that particular country (CIR renewals etc) and then come back to oz, do you have to completely re-do the CIR flight test?
As we all know, it's either a BFR or above for us here...I'm just not sure how it works if you haven't flown in the country for 2-3 years. What's required to be current in Australia again when you get back?
Cheers people
ovum

You'll need to renew:
* Medical. Class 1 needed for commercial ops, Cl.2 for private.
* Aeroplane Flight Review aka BFR. unless you do some other qualifiying thing eg a flight test for something, so...
* After 1 year from the last IR test you no longer have an Oz instrument rating so will have to renew it.
IF it has lapsed for NO MORE THAN a year then you can do a renewal flight test. It's bit easier than the initial, not as long & can use a synthetic trainer for part of it so is cheaper.
IF it has lapsed for less than 5 years then you'll have to do an initial issue flight test.
IF it has lapsed for more than 5 years then you'll have to do both the IR theory exam AND the initial issue flight test.
* Instructor rating: Valid for two years so must renew with a flight test after this period . If you have Multi training approval there is no specific requirement to do the renewal in a twin.

Great, thanks for the reply.
Was just looking to get a handle on whether it was totally independent of any other flying you've done O/S and obviously it is
Cheers again!
