OK RAMPC medical sorted last year. Can not exercise the privileges of my ATPL with the medical limitations on RAMPC (SE Day VFR, 2 POB <1500MTOW etc). It's something I guess. I Recently went for a RH seat ride in a REMOS G3 600 in NZ and was quite impressed (Rotax 912 CSU, FADEC, all the fruit). Are there any REMOS on the Aus register? and how expensive is it to get the first of type on the register if I felt like importing one from the US, once the exchange rate becomes favourable. Thanks for all the info, blue sky's BAz

Thanks all for the responses. coljones, CASA won't even issue me a Class 2, apparently if you use medication to control depression you are "an unacceptable risk to the safety of air navigation" But its OK to have plenty of overweight old drivers with dodgy tickers in the left hand seat of a Boeing / Airbus so long as they take their meds!!! Nong / Soleair, I'm starting to see the confusion. If I believe I meet the driving standard (which I do as I drive) I effectively sign myself off medically speaking. But if I have one of the listed conditions (which I do) I need a GP (confirm not DAME) to sign me off? Based on this why would anyone with a DL need a medical? Or have I missed something here??? Phil, Sorry to hear about your PPL battle, I did my PPL at EGTR circa 1997, fond memories of drilling holes in the sky around Hertfordshire, Essex et al on a summers evening(s) after work. Before I relocated out to the colonies of course. BAz

Hi All, I'm new here and need some advice. CASA in their infinit wisdom deem it necessary to mess me around for the best part of a year before advising me that I can't hold a medical (Class I only being valid for 12 months anyway). That will teach me for being honest on the medical questionnaire, my bad. Anyway going forward RAA might be a possibility if I want to get back in the air, recreationally at least. What is required and how stringent is the RAA medical? I'm based in southern Tasmania and would be keen for any recommendations you may have as to operators aircraft etc. (Are there any RAA aircraft with CSUs?? - I'm presuming turbines are out of the question) Forgive my ignorance and Kindest Regards Stay Safe.
