Asic & spl application speed up
According to the CASA website, you only need to have submitted the application to be allowed to fly. As Bankstown does not require the wearing of ASICs I can't see where the problem lies apart from the fact that the SPL hasn't been issued yet.

Victor India, on the CASA site it say's that if your 18 or over, in order to be elgible for SPL you must first pass a security clearance check and obtain an ASIC. Sorry if I caused any confusion but what I meant in the previous post is that I was going to talk with my Instructor so that he doesn't do my Solo lessons dual with me, then when i get my SPL send me off for the solo's costing extra money for nothing.
YPJT Can you post a link to show where it actually says that? I would like to show it to my instructor.

As far as the point raised by this thread is concerned, my understanding is you must have SPL before going solo - the reason being so the security checks have been done to ensure you are not likely to do a 9 11 type stunt when turned loose on your own. SPL not needed to fly dual. And I am not aware of any extra fee that will get priority.

I hear of people who call CASA and ask for them to process their CPL with haste because they have a job lined up. Apparently CASA are pretty good about this.
They may speed up your SPL application if you call and ask and give them good reason as to why (and show appreciation).

Hey SPL,
I was waiting for my SPL to arrive when i was due for my first solo. I went on to do a few training area dual flights until it arrived. the good thing is that you continue flying and get a few more hours under your belt before going solo. I'm glad it worked out that way as i was much more comfortable and confident doing my first solo with a few more hours under my belt.
I rang up CASA and the lady was really helpful - it turned out my medical hadn't been received yet since my doctor hadn't sent it! But once they got it, things happened quite quickly.
Cheers.

Hey Orangeboy
Yeah, im not too worried anymore about the application taking long. Like you said, it will allow me to get a few more hours of experience, which will give me a memorable first solo for all the good reasons. Anyway's when are you going to get back into the flying?
Take care

No RPT at Bankstown = no ASIC required
NOTE: Some airports are classed as security controlled but do not have RPT operations. An ASIC is not required at these airports.

The current SPL application requires you to either include an application for an ASIC, or have a certified copy of your current one....
From Form 497 - "Note: If you do not have a current ASIC/AVID, you MUST submit an ASIC or AVID application form attached to this application. "

One of tHe reason the likes of BK, JT, MB, AF etc were classified as "security controlled" was to make the federal funding available for upgrading the airport security infrastructure. This was despite the fact they they do not have RPT services, except for Moorabbin.
As Bentleg pointed out, it is only those airports that have RPT services that you are required to display an ASIC. It should also be remembered that an ASIC only proves that you have been subjected to and given a security clearance. It bestows no rights at all regarding access airside. That is still the domain of the airport operator. I have seen some smart arses try and use the fact that they have an ASIC dangling around their neck to not comply with other security requirements.
