.....Larger airfields, CC??
Look at the list of security airports, it includes such airports as: Barcaldine, Blackall, Julia Creek, Thargomindah, Cobar, Coonamble and Narrabri!!!
Absolute waste of time, money and effort

Don't hold your breath....
Me thinks this is all going to change as those in CBR come to terms with the monster they have created and now don't know how to control.

And re the 'requirement' for ASIC cards at various regional airfields. Recently (as in just over a week ago) ferried a PA34 through YBKE and YGDI and at both places after taxiing in and shutting down.......t'was not a soul to be seen!
No-one to see or be seen to check for valid ASIC cards!!!

Dept of Defence won't pay for any of thier people to get one as ADF member on duty just have to show their ID card.
Maybe I will simply fly in uniform from now on and just show my ID. Would be a pain in the butt on holidays, but seems a simpler solution than a private pilot trying to do the right thing and get an ASIC.
I have also sent an email to DOTARS specifically for an Australia wide ASIC for private pilots and await their response.

Well DOTARS got back to me quick smart
here is what they said:
Thank you for your email.
We are indeed endeavouring to address the exact issues you have
described below.
We are currently in the finalisation stages of updating our website,
which will contain the ASIC application form, and a list of Issuing
Bodies, including an Issuing Body to cater for private pilots such as
yourself.
Please check the website in a couple of weeks, when I'm sure the updated
information, including the form will be posted.
Your current pilots license should cover you for our background checking
purposes, as long as your background checks were undertaken within the
last two years.
Kind regards
Aviation Security Identity Team
Office of Transport Security

So there you have it from the horses mouth. I eagerly await the couple of weeks to see what I can get off their website.

has anyone ahd the pleasure of swapping their aircraft to the new part 47 rego regs?? what a pain.
the whole thing appears easier if you are a company.
the other thing i would say, is that it is much easier to use a passport for ID than anythings else. i have got my ASIC card for Qantas ground handling but not for my CPL. i am hoping common sense will mean that they cross reference my security check for my flight crew Card.

Been waiting four weeks for my licence - not that that's particularly impressive just yet. Mate of mine passed his PPL more than FOUR MONTHS ago and is yet to receive his brand new shiny photo licence. We reckon they found something in the background check...
And not being able to fly without the actual licence sucks, he's no longer current either

As promised I would let you all know when my photo licence came back. It was exactly two months. I am not sure if they did my background checks or not it does not say anywhere that they were done. However I have a PPL and a photo licence and it was not the initial issue. all I did was send the form and photos from the CASA website. So far I have not seen any invoice or notification of charge. So looks free at the time being.
Still no luck on the ASIC but I did write a letter to AOPA suggesting they should try and issue them. (might make them useful) They did not reply.

Looks like they are rushing them out
Cunning psychology to make them look like they were done by a 10yo using security footage from the bank job. Unless of course what appears to be printer smudges on the back are concealed coding or RFID.
Producing one (especially o/s) might get you orange fashionwear for your cuban holiday.

WILL WE BE STUCK ON THE TARMAC!
At our aero club the rumour mill says that if we fly into a regional airport with our new PHTO LICENCE and no other CARDS we will be strandard on the tarmac with our passengers due to insufficient security clearance!
Is this so?
How will it work?

Are you a member??? Why should they reply if you are not???
Since you advertise YSBK, why didn't you just walk over???
I think you are fibbing, you never wrote a letter now did you, just having a snipe.
However, if you were a member (I am) you would have access to the forum where it tells you that:
AOPA will become an ASIC issuing agency, and
AOPA will not issue ASIC for non-members until all member applications are finalised.
Now, before the howls of protest, as a member I DON"T want to wait for them to issue me mine while they look after non members. So I reckon it is a fair thing.

No was not having a snipe. I can PM you my original email and the reply i got if you are interested. For the record I did receive a reply from Andrew Kerans on the 2nd of June He was helpful and told me where AOPA were with DOTARS and the ASIC I liked what he had to say and signed up on the Internet that day. They also got some extra dollars out of me for the AOPA crew card and airfield directory. I was negligent in not letting everyone know i got a reply until now.

Good on ya for having the balls to set the record straight. There is enough negativity in GA (possibly our biggest downfall).
Think what you like about AOPA, they are voluteers with full time jobs who do what they do for EVERY pilot out of a genuine belief that Aust GA needs help.
Disagree with them by all means, but at least recognise that.

Just a small point on the $150 fee for an AFP background check -
at the police station (where I work) a national police check costs $27.50.
Needless to say I resent doing the background check at all but then getting ripped $150 really hurts!

8 Weeks??
Geez mate. Don't hold your breathe. I've been waiting since 1/2 past February and I'm not expecting anything to change soon.
Still, my security checks always seem to take longer due to past questionable associations such as DoD and DSTO.
