Jwh Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hi Fairly new to the area and wondering if anyone private hires aircraft out of any areas around Rockhampton (yeppoon, emu park, hedlow, etc..) I know there is RAA private hire from the Rockhampton airport, however the restrictions with this due to controlled airspace takes away passenger carrying, medical required, etc.. I have my RA licence with HF HP NW R PAX. ~70 hours mixed GA and RAA Looking to jump in an aircraft often to stay current and proficient. If anyone knows of anyone offering private hire in these areas or someone with a aircraft that may considering it after a few check flights, Would love to hear from you. Thanks guys!

SDQDI Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 RAA don't have licences, they are certificates. Would be a bit righter if you said "they 'have' certificates." Because obviously the RAA aren't certificates maybe they are certifiable lol Sorry for the thread hijack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RAA do not issue licences, they can only issue certificates as they are not a government organisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sportstar used for training in Gladstone is also available for hire. At the moment it is only here for 2 days a week, but it will soon be based here full time. Gladstone might not be as close as you might have liked, but I am not aware of anything any closer to you outside of Rocky's controlled airspace. If your are interested, google Gladstone Aero Club and look at the " learn to fly" page for contact details. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherk Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 RAA don't have licences, they are certificates. You're spot on again dazz.........however the certificate allows the holder licence !__________( to operate under RAA rules ) "The verb license or grant license means to give permission. The noun license (American English) or licence (British English, Indian English, Canadian English, ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmick Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Hi Jwh, I see Hedlow YHEW is 11.9nm from YBRK, bit of a pain but pick up pax there or have aircraft ferried there. Times are lean and the School may be flexible. If just for an hour or two, arrange a nice lunch for the CFI at Yeppoon in the sun (your vehicle from Emu Park to sunny Beach) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 RAA don't have licences, they are certificates. Interesting to get a "optimistic " from " gray" considering that I am correct in saying that the RAA can only issued certificates and not licences. Maybe you can enlighten me Gray.

Yenn Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Is Hedlow open to all at the moment? Emu Park is a good strip for anyone in Yeppoon or Rocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan_wins Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Further to Micks comment on Gladstone...any more idea when the sport star will find a home in Gladstone? Also any reason why the Gladstone aero club page isn't available, will it be back again soon? And on the topic of this thread is there anyone around in the Gladstone and wider area who consideres private hire of aircraft both RA and GA? More than happy to do check rides and hours to full fill any requirements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
