emigrating to Oz
Just wondering where I stand with regard to flying in Australia - will be permanently living on the Sunshine Coast from May 2013 with luck. Have had my UK PPL for 8-9 years and would like to know how to go about being able to fly when I move with regards to converting to an Australian PPL or otherwise.....
If this has been broached before and I missed it I apologise in advance (I did find old threads working it Aus to UK but not as I need to know it.) Thanks. |
Try Civil Aviation Safety Authority - Converting foreign licences or http://www.casa.gov.au/wcmswr/_asset...l/010r0501.pdf or contact [email protected]
Also there a few flying schools on the Sunshine Coast, such as Chopperline, that can help. It is a relatively straight forward process. |
And don't forget recreational aviation, what the yanks would call LSA. Easy conversion too for you.

hiwaytohell - you should work for CASA :D

If he worked for CASA he would have to charge $25 for providing the information.

Suggest PPL and then RAA.
As you have to do 5 hours for RAA may as well learn something new and do low speed (Thruster,Drifter etc). The 5 hour conversion comes from the days when RAA was only low speed (low inertia) and there were a lot of accidents where somebody got out of a Bonanza or 727 and the differences caught them out. |
The 5 hour conversion comes from the days when RAA was only low speed (low inertia) My instructor was converting a SAAB driver; took a while not to get him to flare too high. |
