Does anybody know exactly what involved in transferring an international helicopter license over to an Australian one? Is there a website or some info source which details the compatibility of various country's training systems? I'm considering training in either NZ or the USA, and then transferring it when I come home. Also, does anybody have any more info on this rumoured GA recreational heli license system that might be being introduced?

I've been searching everywhere on various forums as well as the maze that they call the CASA website to try and find the ruling on home built 2-seat helicopter registration, and the consequent implications so far as it's maintenance and use. I'm familiar with the RAAus regulations with regard to their experimental category (95-10 I think it's called) as well as their category which my J160, 2-place, 51%-built falls into. Consequently, I have ruled out RAAus registration entirely because of the fact that they exclude powered rotorcraft, except gyro-copters. (Please someone tell me I'm wrong!
