RPL is comming... But what's it bringing?

[Bryon]

I would suggest not as you need a minimum of a class 2 medical and an ICAO licence in most countries.That would be at least a PPL.

Cheers

I beg to differ

 

From what I heard from CASA at Natfly, the RPL has all the priveledges of a PPL with certain restrictions

 

The RA Certificate is not recognised OS, but it appears that the RPL is designed along the same lines as the US sports pilot and as it is a license issued by CASA may be valid

 

I may be wrong, so if someone else can put us right it would be appreciated

 

Cheers

4.3.1 However, upon application to the Civil Aviation Administration - Denmark, persons staying temporarily in Denmark and licensed by a foreign civil aviation authority to operate an ultralight aeroplane may be granted permission to operate an equivalent ultralight aeroplane within Danish territory for a maximum of 90 days on condition that the person in question documents to the Civil Aviation Administration - Denmark that he has received training equivalent to the Danish training.

 

But check with the Danish Ultralight Flying Union http://www.dulfu.dk/?pid=66

And some of the good guys are http://www.albatros-ul.dk/ at Målov 22Km west of Copenhagen

The American sports pilot license isn't valid outside America and, if the RPL is sub-ICAO standard (as proposed) it won't be valid outside Australia.

 

Although the piece of paper/plastic doesn't entitle you to fly overseas, many countries (as Col noted) do recognise non-ICAO flight training & experience from overseas and allow it to count towards their own recreational / ultralight pilot certificate or license. The difference is that you have to be issued that countries certificate or license to be able to fly there.
