Butch Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 If you lost your motor vehicle licence... speeding , drunk driving....can you still fly as normal for RAA or do you have to notify RAA as you no longer fit the criteria of holding a current drivers licence? In GA if you can't pass a medical you are out......is it the same in RAA with no car licence? (and NO! I haven't lost my licence) cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and NO! I haven't lost my licence) cheers I would say no...it is a requirement to have a valid drivers license, so I would say if you loose it for any reason you loose your RAAus certificate to fly as well..

Butch Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 Thanks all, we have two 15 year olds at our club that are fully qualified PIC.......so no motor vehicle licences. Was not sure if disqualification was different to not having one at all, cheers Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camel Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just a little extra note, should some one have their drivers licence disqualied or recommended not to drive for medical reasons including mental illness then the RAA PC would be invalid. This has happened to someone I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Medical standard equal to that required to drive a private motor vehicle. MY words but I think that is what you are looking at in principle. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planedriver Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Just a little extra note, should some one have their drivers licence disqualied or recommended not to drive for medical reasons including mental illness then the RAA PC would be invalid. This has happened to someone I know. In which case they would not meet the criteria of fitness to drive, which presumably then also applies to flying an RAA aircraft. I don't think the ownership of a driving license comes into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
