US ATPL coming to Oz for busman's holiday
An ATPL friend of mine in the United States is contemplating an outback mini-tour for a couple of weeks, hiring some kind of light aircraft. Not fussy what, he's flown everything and is highly adaptable. ATPL qualified with an ICAO card - can he use those to fly a VH-registered aircraft or does he have to jump hoops to get Aus equivalents? Not contemplating major airports, mainly bush strips with fuel. Not that I expect that will make much difference.

Used to be an AFR type flight and off you go. Easiest to just ask the mob he intends to hire off or give CASA a direct shout, pretty sure the website has info on it.

an ICAO card |
The information you need to obtain a Certificate of Validation is HERE.
I suggest your friend commence applying for an Australian Certificate of Validation at least one or two years ahead of his planned visit and expect to be frustrated by professionals. I haven't read the current requirements but will probably to require a Certificate of Competency in English, a Class 2 Medical Certificate from a CASA approved Doctor, an ASIC Card and he may find birth certificates from at least five generations of antecedents also helpful. We can't have these unqualified foreign pilots flying in our Aussie air space!! := |

Sounds like there’s an opportunity for a syndicate to purchase an N reg 172 or similar to be based in Aus for FAA pilots to fly, or similar in the US with a VH aircraft based in the US.
I wonder what the interest levels would be in such a venture! |

Our world-class system is a wondrous thing. |

He tells me it's the only ID card he needs to access airside for walkrounds etc.
That is the knee jerk reaction made in Australia post 9-11. |
He'll need to get a Certificate of Validation from CASA, an ASIC and then a flight review.
Difficult but not impossible to apply for an ASIC from overseas. AS for whether he would get through the international border, fully vaccinated but not sure if visas are available for holiday makers yet. |
