  1. you can still do a condition report on an unflyable aircraft and register it.
  2. rediculous carry on. if you read the posts you know there was nothing but compassion for the pilot involved. the facts were as reported by casa and the news channels.
  3. 14 crashed out of that list.
  4. So if you do an acr and ignore a wing bolt missing a nut for an extreme example as turbs mentioned. And wing falls off two days later who's fault is it . The owner is dead and that leaves you to face the music. The whole point is to get rid of dodgy acrs. I know of l2s who do them by email without even sighting the aircraft.
  5. As I mentioned the other day. Those head tracking RC models are looking pretty good. Get the view and the sensation of flying without leaving the ground. A large lake buccaneer model I could fly while sitting on my boat .😁
  6. l4s wouldn't care about raaus. plenty of ga work to do. if the l2 is responsible for what he put on the condition report they are going to be looking pretty hard at it if the ac has an accident within the 30 day period.
  7. i am sure they don't , but they won't get into any country if they refuse.
  8. Anyone who refuses a search would not be allowed entry to the country would they.
  9. If labour didn't waste all our money more could be spent on important things .
  10. I guess there have been enough complaints like yours to get them doing something.
  11. Now I have learnt more it seems quite simple. Basically aircraft condition reports must be accurate. the L2 that fudges them loses his L2 authority. My friend who is an L4 and L2 is quite happy about it. He does things by the book and does not like half arsed L2 condition reports. He is happy to stand by his work.
  12. Engine log books are a big part of the blitz in acrs.
  13. Sorry, I should have read this post. I just said the same thing.
  14. I think it may be that the L2 will be held responsible for what he puts in the report for 30 days. Raaus get a lot of complaints about condition reports stating things are in good condition when they are not. So the aim will be to get rid of dodgy L2 s that look after mates by writing bullsh#t to help sell an AC.
  15. I don't know but the new office lady told me they are going through every acr with a fine tooth comb from now on. The L2 responsible thing may well have been there before and they just decided to enforce it.
  16. Latest info is raaus are going to make L2 responsible for aircraft for 30 days only after they do acr then it reverts to owner.
  17. the topaz looks like a nice aircraft. fast too. i watched a u tube of one flying from riddells to torquay.
  18. I did my L1 online. There is not much too it. Raaus know they are running out of L2 people but either don't care or can't do anything about it. An L2 can't sign off his own plane so he needs access to another L2 anyway. All the expensive certified aircraft go to GA workshops and L4,s
  19. I disagree. An aircraft is not a car. Any buyer of an aircraft should be double and triple checking everything before that aircraft takes flight. The turbo world where you just blame the other person is not for me. No good sueing if your dead. It is 100 percent the buyers responsibility to make sure it is airworthy.
  20. Skippy may have the hull insurance which is available through raaus from the same broker.
  21. Raaus policy is 20 mil and up to 250k for passenger. Asra has a 1 mil limit on third party but now are offering an optional 20 mil cover for pilots flying gyros that feel they need it. Adds $850 per year to the membership fee .
  22. Raaus is third party liability. No cover for plane or pilot.
  23. Well if the buyer has half an idea about aircraft he would double check everything like most of us do before every flight. And the fact that the wing bolts would be missing safety clips is a give away that it's not finished.
