How so? In the RAAus world, the Junior Instructor can't do anything except recommend someone for first solo, and send them on subsequent solos.
The Senior Instructor can send first solo.
The CFI does flight testing for RPC and Nav endo.
There are no ATOs or FEs as such..

For some information - There is a difference between obtaining your CPL licence and graduating the course. To graduate you also need to complete one elective unit outside the CPL licence. At BHI/SOAR they have chosen for you "Operate In the Circuit at Night".
With many students going over hours its easy to see why they complete their licence and then do not finish the night flying - its extra cost to receive for just the diploma.

Can you complete the diploma and not have the CPL though?
Pretty sure you only need to be signed off as "Ready for the test" by passing pre licence to actually complete the unit, not pass the CPL flight test. Therefore in theory you don't. Im not 100% on that but its my understanding.

I just googled the headline above and opened the article straight from google. You may need to clear any Herald-Sun cookies first for this to work.
Can't get past the paywall. Closing in? Usually they take at least two years to do a report

Article is subscription only - however the herald sun lets each device access their articles a certain number of times before the paywall pops up.
I doubt there’s much substance to the story, but happy to be surprised!

Safety team closing in on cause of Moorabbin Airport accident
Brittany Goldsmith, Moorabbin Kingston Leader
January 22, 2020 10:30am
The small plane that crashed at Moorabbin Airport in December pitched up steeply and twisted just before the smash, investigators believe.
The student pilot, aged in his 20s, was taken to Alfred Hospital where he was treated for serious head and lower body injuries but has recently returned home.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators are in the process of data recovery and are likely to soon have an answer as to how the student’s Bristell S-LSA aircraft flipped as he practised touch-and-go landings on December 12.
The plane landed on its roof, trapping the young pilot inside.
“During final approach for a touch and go landing, the aircraft is reported to have pitched up steeply and yawed resulting in collision with terrain … the aircraft was substantially damaged,” the ATSB said in a statement online.
“The ATSB will examine the accident site and the aircraft wreckage, interview air traffic control and other relevant personnel, and conduct data recovery.
“Should a critical safety issue be identified during the course of the investigation, the ATSB will immediately notify relevant stakeholders so appropriate and timely safety action can be taken.”
Yesterday an alarm flagged another plane in distress at the airport.
The plane landed safely and no-one at the airport would comment on reports a pilot ran into trouble near Bundoora Pde just after midday.
There have been two accidents in busy airspace in less than two years.
In 2018, Mornington Peninsula pilot Anthony Liddel was remembered for his heroic efforts as he dodged houses before his aircraft smashed into a suburban street in Mordialloc.
And in 2019 a pilot was lucky to walk away with minor injuries when a plane crash landed at Capital Golf Course on Centre Dandenong Rd.
There had also been a plane crash at the golf course in 2010.
The ATSB says it will release a report when its investigation into December’s crash has been finalised.

Was that the one in the Warrior where the media said the pilot had voluntarily jettisoned his wings?
