Guest Crezzi Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I've never quite understood what the basis was for the HGFA nano/picolight category of (non 95.32) wheeled trikes - it now appears that there was none & their operation is therefore illegal.

Guest davidh10 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 ...and they think CASA will fix the legislation in a couple of months....ROFL How long has RAA been waiting for several simple legislative changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastmeg2 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The wording at first appears to say that all HGFA wheeled operations are illegal, but further reading and some discussion with the HGFA Operations Manager cleared it up. I had previously thought that HGFA T1 registration came under 95.10, but that is only the case for home builts not made from an approved kit. So HGFA T1 registered trikes that were factory built or made from an approved kit actually come under 95.32. (95.32 part 1.1 (b) & ©) 95.10 is not presently available under HGFA, only under RAAus. Scratch built "10" or registered trikes would currently be legal to fly under RAAus, but not scratch built "T1" registered trikes under HGFA. CAO-95.32 does make specific mention of the HGFA in section 1.1(d)(i), so there are no legal issues with flying HGFA T2 registered trikes and approved kit or factory built T1 registered trikes.
