Towing approvals...anyone?
Hello crew...
Was wondering if anyone has been successful in having a towing approval approved post 61.
Having a debate with CASA on the requirements to have an approval granted and whilst CAR149 says refer to part 61 for the requirements, part 61 is blank.....queue "crickets"...
They have also stated that any approvals would be met with a cost to evaluate the safety case and for any longer term approval one would need to submit risk profiles, etc.
I am then told that anyone with an existing towing approval is ok to keep towing.
I know that glider towing is covered under Gliding Federation Australia but i don't want to tow gliders.
So what i am looking for us anyone who has a current Part 61 license (converted from CAR5) with a towing approval. Or anyone who has been successful in getting a towing approval post apocalypse.
Thanks in advance.

Your towing approval would have come across onto your Part 61 Licence (if you claimed it and provided evidence). Too bad for anybody else who wants a towing approval. Nosewheel, convert your CASA licence to FAA, spend money in the States on a towing approval and transfer it back.

Anyone got a count on the amount of $$ spent on this whole so called reform?
I heard NZ had moved for $5m and we were up to $100M already...
I'm going to fight it.... i should not be made to pay $$ for CASA to assess an ongoing approval, after all it was in part 61 until some bright spark removed it.
