Hi Guys, is there anyone on or near the Gold Coast that has a weight-shift microlight that they would consider hiring out to me? I just converted my South African license and would love to get airborn again!

Hi Joe,Jacobs Well/Heck field is the closest to you. The best is to give Nick a call and the best time to visit Heck is early on a Sat morning, most are gone by 11:30-12:00.

Another friendly bunch are Airsport at Boonah, I did all my conversions with them. There is generally always someone there every day except Mon or give Groggy or Dave a call. http://airsportqld.com.au/

 

Crezzi is correct the equivalent would be the RAAus pilot cert. Not sure what you need to do, I had converted my SAPPL to an Aus PPL then to RAAus pilot cert so it was just the flying part, min 5 hours.

 

If you would like to meet for a chat I will be flying into Heck on Sat 16th , weather permitting, to have a look at a Sling based there. Should be there between 10:30 - 11:00

Sounds like a plan! See you there Saturday! Will be there early!

Thanks!

The equivalent here would be an RAAus Pilot Certficate - You'd probably need to do a check flight (in both types if you wanted to be endorsed for both) and a Human Factors exam. I also suggest conversions from overseas licences sit the RAAus Air Law exam 9or at least study for it) as some things are done differently here to what you are used to.If you post your location I'm sure there will be loads of recommendations for somewhere nearby

 

Cheers

I stay in Coombabah, near Runaway bay! We have a field nearby, but I heard they not very friendly! I think it's called Masons Southport or something!

I also went passed Jacobs Well but was around 13:00 and there wasn't anything going on! Nick was also not there!

Hi PorraGoed om jou hier te he boet.

 

Jacobs Well/Heck Field is near you.

 

Further out is Boona, then going further North is Redcliffe and then Caboolture.

 

What you need will depend on if you are training again. The RSA Microlight Pilots License is an RA Aus Pilot Certificate over here. PPL is PPL.

Thanks! Well then, will have to be on a ra certificate then! Will go see Nick Sigley at Jacobs Well later then! Hope to see you guys soon!

Joe!

Hi porra, do you want to convert it to a PPL or RA lisence. I converted my SAPPL to both, send me a PM if you need info, there are 1 or 2 tips depending on which way you want to go.

I currently hold an instructors license for weight shift Microlights and light sports aircraft, so would like to stay in that category!

Joe!

Hey guys! Anyone here know what I have to do to go about converting my South African pilots license to be able to fly in OZ?

Thanks!

Joe!

Hi guys! Where can I get a chart with the radio frequencies for the different areas?

Hi guys!

Thanks for the welcome! I have a feeling this is going to be a great new experience for me!

Len, if you can tell me how far you are from me, and if its not to far, I will be there soon!

Joe is the name! Just moved over to the Gold Coast from South Africa. Looking to find another flying family over here as I have left my flying family and mates back in SA! Anyone out there know of friendly airfields nearby?

Porra!
