RAA HQ - legal issues and claims

RAA aircraft are only allowed to fly if they can achieve the designated stall speed range in order that landing collisions will result in a lower level of damage/injuries. In this case the structure isn't going to be redesigned, tested and rebuilt to GA standards and stall speeds, so there's no rabbit hole there.

There are a lot of hummelbirds flying so why is spaceys special.

Flying in Australia legally, under 95.10 regulation?

When it comes to Aviation, I have never seen such a disorganised bureaucracy amongst so many organisations, with their fingers in the aviation regulatory pie. 
There are restrictions and conflicting rules and the people administering them, it’s just a hopeless mess, much of it that Joe average pilot and aircraft owner have little idea, nor can understand.

The standards you refer to don't exist for GA experimental. They are a figment of your imagination.

A large part of the problem is that so many people make up rules that they think ought to exist, rather than refer to the actual rules.

 

I'm not actually sure why this Hummelbird can't be registered under 95.55 instead of 95.10.

Amateur built?

Less than 600kg?

Stall speed less than 45 knots?

 

Why does it need to be 95.10?

No standards, no oversight, make your own decisions, at your own risk...............doesn't sound like the CASA I know.

No point in silly trolling.

Just how many airworthiness classes are there in Australia? 

Reads like a right mess

My aircraft was registered under " AUF " without problems . 95-10-1103 .

RAA was audited , then I was told , " when attempting to get " final inspection " .

out of specification  for 95- 10 category.  

when attending an airshow , I approached a RAA official who told me to lie for the 

" grandfather  clause " .

that would have left me open to a fine for ' unlicenced flight '  & unregistered aircraft .

At no time was I informed  by RAA about the impending change to my registration .

There is no " safety problems " with the Hummel design . In fact it appears a really same aircraft

To have your crash in .

It is also very twitchy for a low hour pilot .

Focus on how many are in RAA, many basic aircraft are popular in other countries. We have to focus on the ones that are legal to fly here.

Couldn't you drop the 95.10 registration and register it under 95.55 e.g. change to 19-1103? What was the obstacle?

[spacesailor]

I was suffering from a crook hip. ( Now replaced ) .

Taking large doses of pain killer pills .

Then told by my ' CFO ' I'll never get that RAA flight certificate .

now it's my eyes  , going to get measured for new lenses on the 23 this month, then that

365 day wait for the operation,  ( the letter came today ) so a long long wait & hope 

I don't loose my eyesight by that time .

The 19- registration is possible : if I  had any chance of getting that elusive certificate.

You can register a broomstick (ask the wife),

 

There is a big difference between being allocated a NUMBER and completing a CofA. The number allocation has NOTHING to do with registration.

Just my ' piece of paper ' that says " registered as " 95-10-1103 .

Stamped & engraved into the aircraft parts .

And ' money changed hands ' .( rego fee ) .

Yes but its ONLY a number you have been allocated, read the fine print, it will say its not a certificate or permission to FLY.  You need to find the appropriate category and then get the CofA completed, then, and ONLY, then will you have a REGISTERED aircraft thats approved for FLIGHT.
