CASA Class 2 Medical Take-off Weight Restrictions
The class 2 medical has a weight limit of 8618 kg "non-passanger carrying commercial operations". This is the full class 2 not the "Basic Class 2". According to the Pilot Medical Certification Guide.
If the operation is a PRIVATE one, does the max weight (8618) limit still apply. What is the significance of that weight, much greater than the old 5700kg that was the limit in days of old. I've been searching and can't find any reference. |
You'll find that makes a nice "round" number in lbs... specifically 19,000 lbs... and likely related to some FAA based rule ;) A quick google seems to indicate that the FAA deems "small airplanes" in the "commuter category" to be 19,000lbs or less...

The CASA exemption you're talking about is: "CASA EX25/18 — Class 1 Medical Certificate (Exercise of the Privileges of Certain Flights by Holders of a Commercial Pilot Licence or Air Transport Pilot Licence) Exemption 2018" CASA EX25/18 Exemptions as made This instrument grants an exemption that permits the holder of a commercial pilot licence or an air transport pilot licence to exercise the privileges of the licence to conduct certain flights while holding a class 2 medical certificate instead of a class 1 medical certificate. The exemption in the instrument covers a flight if it is wholly within Australian territory, is in an aircraft with a maximum take-off weight less than 8 168 kg, and does not carry a passenger. |
