Help/Advice please
 

Hi!

I did post something similar before, but it was a long time ago & I know things are always changing, so please humour me!

I'm moving to Oz with my family in Jan next year. I'll be in MEL until mid-May, then BNE.

I hold UK CAA (as opposed to JAA) PPL, IMC Rating (mini IR), multi-engine rating and I've done an RAF aerobatics course. >300hrs TT. Currently flying Robin 3000, Rockwell Commander & PA34 (although most of my multi is C310R).


Now the questions:

1. Can I fly VH a/c in Oz on my UK licence? Any limitations?

2. The IMC rating allows me to fly IFR in the UK outside CAS and inside up to class D but with raised dep/app minima compared to a full IR. Is there anything like this in Oz or, to go IFR, would I need to do the full rating there?
Would any credit be given for the IMC?

3. How do I go about getting an Oz licence?

4. Who's got a cheap (but nice!) a/c I can rent? :O
I'll be at Tullamarine while in Melbourne and at BNE in Brisbane.

Thanks guys.
