Leadie and Frank
have to agree with you on the training front and the use of radio....today with really bad wx around here I had several conversations with ATC that had NO standard radio procedures involved, but geez they knew what I needed and where I was going!
Now i do have to pull you up here folks coz you are talking crap.
The MPC did not come from CASA at all, it was piloted and developed originally by a group of folk based at YBAF....SAAA have developed it further and had CASA agree to it being a universal sylabus.
You really have to thank and SAAA acknowledge also the folk at Archerfield for it.
So as for folk on high horses..........you could dismount any time now guys

You should have a very close look at the syllabus, it looks rather adjacent to the CASA Airworthiness Administration exam syllabus.

I belong to the "Squawking Chicken" school of aviation.
I spent Six years fiddling around the edges of Mr. Boeings products and another Two around military bits. That was enough to learn a little about the attention to detail and safety in Boeing commercial aircraft and the almost complete lack of it (by Boeing commercial standards) in military machines - I mean a modification that doubles the time a pilot has before he must eject....from Two seconds to maybe Four seconds??
Having said that, and seeing the corrosion and cracking of a Cessna rudder torque tube that was taken off RLG about Six months after I had punted it around for a few weeks, I take a great interest in ensuring whatever I build or maintain is both strong and reliable in the long term.
I'm very conscious that I don't know it all, for example, I only learned a week ago how to tell the approximate age of a bungee rubber, so a maintainers course makes a lot of sense from my point of view.
To put that another way, of course I know how to Attach Nut B to Bolt A. It's the little details I want to learn.

Agreed Sunny, Knowing where to look and how to research AC43 and a myriad of FAA and CASA publications is actually the best part of the course.
If you don't know what you don't know...its even harder to search for it.
Ignore the knockers, like many thinigs in life, some will be written just for you the rest os for others

So the common denominator for RA-Aus flight in CTR is??
Frank:
No, Air Force Regulations prohibit failure in CTR. 
Don't military aircraft that are operated at the limits of their envelope have the potential to have system failures in CTR?

Funnily enough an aeroplane doesn't know if it's flying over a built up area or not, let alone if it is in CTA built up areas or not.
Again the safety benefits of it are there with the equipment required. More and more owners have transponders these days which is great, makes life much safer for us all.

What site are we all banned from ?

"Jaba, this thread would be better posted in that other site that we are all banned from, rather than here, but I have no idea how you're gonna do that.
Are there likely to be many RAA only pilots hanging about here?"

Does the new part 61 regs as drafted allow RAA into CTA if they have the required endorsement? I think it does.
It does not refer to RA-Aus.

and will probably never come to exist.
Whether it is called the RPL or LAPL, modelled on the EASA or the most recent design of local content, you will shortly find it in existance. Trust me on this one. just do not ask me why as I do not wish to say it publically. Ask me after it is in place if you wish.

This will keep a lot of people flying their GA aircraft after they lose their medical!
Also sounds like an easy way for RA-Aus guys to switch to a C172 and do the same flying they do now, except with more camping gear in the back. Or upgrade to an RV6 or the like.
61.425 makes it sound like you can get it issued based on having your RA-Aus certificate? Without check ride with ATO???
