Garfly Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 23 hours ago, Garfly said: Trent Palmer's take on this issue is interesting, given his own run-ins with the FAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCwj9iKVUF4 (Obviously, in Oz, we don't have the same freedoms they do in the US around low level ops.) 7 hours ago, Red said: What are the differences? Generally (with exceptions) the not-below-500' rule applies in Australia (over sparsely populated areas). See VFRG pp. 44-49 https://www.casa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2022-02/visual-flight-rules-guide.pdf Whereas flight below 500' is generally allowed in the US (the exceptions are outlined by Trent Palmer in the video.) According to the FAA AIM: "While 14 CFR Part 91.119 allows flight below 500 AGL when over sparsely populated areas or open water, such operations are very dangerous."

johnm Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 ......... yes it was unusual how the legislators imposed a driving log and hours on those that were getting a license while they themselves were not subjected to it (of course that sequence was unavoidable) all that system - the driving log - does is stimulate false entry to get those hours up ( ....... a bit like when you have a CPL and need just a few more hours to stand out shoulders above the rest) (and I appreciate not all do this) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Not worth the risk. It's easy to check. I'm pretty sure there's a big penalty for falsifying records. Nev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
