Tomo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 What do you guys use as an ASIC card holder...? I know it's been asked before, but I can't find it, so thought I may as well just ask again! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike_perth Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I use the one mine come with the black plastic one with the strap probably not the most attractive but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinsm Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 RAA AUS sell them for about $4.50c. Give them a call. (I believe the casa supplied direct asic cards come with one for nothing - go figure) Cheers Maynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 I see... will give the Raa a ring tomorrow and sort one out! Yeah, I went through RAA so I didn't get anything...:big_grin: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 Might look there too! Thanks Donkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike_perth Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ah there you go well I did get mine direct so that must be why I got one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonflyer Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I cant believe you actually are going to need to use it.Ive had mine for a year, and havent needed to show it once!Granted ive been flying half way between the backa burke and east of nowhere!

Yeah true! I would have liked to not have one, but now that Toowoomba's RPT! and I'll be flying there more than likely once I finish my nav's.... Also If you get it before you turn 18, you don't have to go through as much rigamarole... so that's why I done it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mike_perth Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Ive been asked for mine twice at Jandakot - Once by a security guard and once by one of the ATC guys whilst he was walking around the ramp (must admit I was looking a little suspicious looking for an aircraft in a hanger I'd not been to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relfy Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I just filled out the application form for my asic card and I feel like I've just been robbed of $160. I'm going to wear it everywhere though...down to the shops, to bed, to work, I'll get my money's worth out of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'm going to wear it everywhere though...down to the shops, to bed, to work, I'll get my money's worth out of it! Yeah! It does look pretty spiffy too! Ah better go and get ready for work....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazda Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I use the plastic holder it came with (from CASA when they first issued them). It has one good use - it's the right size to put the Aiservices fly-away card on the other side to call for weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moy71 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 can i ask what colour an ASIC card for Ra-aus pilots are issued with? i have a red one which i use for work at sydney airport. i can use this too right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed at the other reply too... but wearing it everywhere is VERY IMPRESSIVE. I have one too and the only time I have worn mine so far... is when I went to RPA in Murray Bridge to impress them, that at least I must LOOK like I knew what I was doing!!!

Mazda Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Moy71, yes, the red ones are for air side access, the same as we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's been asked before, but I can't find it, so thought I may as well just ask again!Thanks The bloke who runs the airfield here has one so he holds and I just follow!! Same at most airports, there is always someone who is a holder and I always feel safe when with them:laugh: Why bother if it is not at a major jet field??

Tomo Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Why bother if it is not at a major jet field?? Yeah thought of that too... but $160 every two yrs is still better than getting a $5000 fine if you get hit!! It's helps the heart rate keep normal that way to:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
