facthunter Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Recognised? I would not think so, but some of it might be credited if you do additional exams (air lore)and a check. Don't take my word for it though. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 How to do it. I would think that you could front up anywhere in the world and do dual with an instructor. That is a start. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Crezzi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 i was thinking more along the line if you went on holiday to any of the places and you wanted to fly if you could with our r a a certificate ??? The simple answer is no - any national recreational pilot certificate isn't generally recognised outside the country of issue. For example to fly as PIC of an RAAus registered aircraft you need a RAAus pilot certificate (or at least a student pilot certificate & fly under instruction) - most other countries have a similar regime. I believe NZ lets you fly temporarily with an RAAus pilot certificate (once a Kiwi instructor has signed your logbook) though this may have changed. In other countries your training & experience would be recognised so getting a local pilot certificate overseas may be as simple as a check flight & possibly sitting their airlaw exam. Some countries (like Aus) have short term membership for visiting overseas pilots to make things a bit easier (cheaper). In other countries (eg UK) getting a local licance would need either a class2 medical or to get your GP to countersign the self-declaration medical form (tricky when your medical records are here but you are over there). Since there isn't even consistancy on what they are called ( recreational / ultralight / microlight) , its hardly suprising the rules are all different ! Hope that helps John PS also worth pointing out that in a lot of countries renting out ultralights either isn't permitted or isn't as prevalent as it is here. So even having a local pilot certificate might not be much use to you. Nev's suggestion of flying with a local instructor is generally going to be the best, safest and least stress option.

seb7701 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 NZ will recognise your Australia qualifications after a checkflight with instructor. A 6 month permit to fly in NZ will cost you $65 or you can get a 12 month permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
