Department of Home Affairs is Australia's security regulator for aviation. They also administer the Aviation Transport Security Regulations.

Under these regulations, all current pilots must have an aviation security status check. You will also need an aviation security status check if you're applying for a flight crew licence.

To get one of these checks you will need to apply for either an:

• Aviation Security Identification Card (ASIC)
• Aviation Identification (AVID).

Yes they need to learn to communicate in writing. I would like to know what AOPA is doing, I am a member, but I will not watch videos. They are just lazy communications.

Jerry is right, the instructor needs to see an ASIC or an AVID.

I believe you can land without an ASIC. To go back out to your plane you can ask for an escort from someone with an ASIC. So legally you don’t need one. But you need one to do your flight review (GA).

CASA do not recognise the ASIC card as proof of identity.

I was under the impression that anyone airside of the security perimeter fence HAD to have an ASIC card, no exceptions.

 

You mean to say, a planeload of armed-to-the-teeth Islamic terrorists could fly in and land, and shoot up and take over an airport, without all of them being fully compliant with ASIC cards?? 

 

Nahh, couldn't possibly happen, that's too far fetched. Like something out of that fictitious "Entebbe" film!

Only pilots, not passengers.

I agree with Skippy. Once cracked, the valve lets air in along the thread so you need to do the open/shut business. Or so I have found.

A cabin pressure problem followed or caused by an erratic engine? Autopilot recovered the first stall but not the second?

I love the term colour blondness, it would explain a lot. 

Best story ever was from the 1920s. Aussie captain on a London to Paris flight came out of the cockpit unrolling some string. On the way to the dunny at the back he handed the end to a passenger and said if the nose goes down, pull the string. They didn’t know he had a co pilot.

ATSB can choose what they investigate. They don't have to investigate all VH reg accidents.

The membership fee gets you in. Then there is a judgement about whether or not you are a contributor or a taker. I admit I am a taker, member since 1993 and I have never volunteered for anything. Went to one AGM in all that time. I contribute to other causes, but can't do everything.

Group 1 have no cause to complain IF they are paid. If they are volunteers, then they have a right to moan about the freeloaders who don't contribute. Same as any club or school or sports committee!

By coincidence I just made six out of soft leather today. Bumper bracket to body on a Triumph car.

If it was a kidnapping proof of life pic I would expect a news paper front page. You could have written that any time!

It is the modern version of the v-tailed doctor killer, for the same reasons. More aeroplane than the wealthy buyers can manage.

I think you'll find the original post is Sept 16, 2023 - not 2016. Tango Delta only joined the forum on Sept 16 this year.

I meant Kyle's post, rebuilding a Sav and selling the Girlfriend.

2016? I can't believe it was seven years ago. I remember this post like yesterday.

It would not be NEWS.

I've been on the pxss in Broken Hill many times.

If you cannot get a Class 2 medical there is no other option. You are on a list of people who remain under scrutiny and have to satisfy Class 2. If you jump early, before questions arise, you can choose the simpler medical regime.

I watched him in many videos. Now killed by the impossible turn.

But I'll make an  effort. Why are we still talking under the heading  of a "STOLEN " anything when it wasn't?   Nev

I reckon this is better. My first proper calculator AFTER the slip stick. Used with 7 figure logs and trig tables for survey calculations.

I had a HP9825 on my desk at work in 1977. It had a thermal printer, a pen plotter and data was saved on an audio cassette recorder. I had to write the programs in HP modified BASIC.
