VH or RA-Aus Registration for a new LSA
Could anyone advise me please ....... I have a new LSA aircraft arriving in Australia from Brazil in July - my question is :-
Is there any more difficulty for a PPL pilot to fly in and out of Controlled Airspace with an RA-Aus registered aircraft ( fitted out with all appropriately required instrumentation... Transponder etc ) than if I registered the plane as VH ??
Most of my flying is around Sydney - the manufacturer suggests I should register it RA-Aus for ease of the maintenance impost.
My 17 year son wants to start flying however he is likely to only get a recreational licence............what to do ??

You probably should have asked this in the "Dunnunda" forums, maybe a mod can move it there?
The answer is: a PPL or above can fly a factory built LSA with transponder (up to date RAD43/47, of course!) into CTA without any questions asked. Happens all the time here.
Yes, go for RA-Aus, it'll save you a bundle in maintenance and if your son wants to learn to fly in RA-Aus, he wouldn't be able to do that in a VH registered aircraft.
