Interesting information Clem, on doing an AFR in an RA-Aus registered aircraft. Do you have information on required qualifications of the testing officer? I ask the question because I've been informed by a CASA ATO that he cannot act as PIC in my RA-Aus registered aircraft, which he must be able to do to perform the job. I stress that the only difference my aircraft has over a similar GA registered one is that it has registration numbers rather than letters.
I have posed this dilema to CASA ops & 6 months has gone by with no formal response, even though I have informed them that my principle reason for wanting the option is to be able to transit Controlled Airspace when operationally desirable due Wx; ie improved safety.
Also, I've not done a AFR for several years, when did it become prescriptive as to length of flight etc; content used to be at the discretion of the instructor.
Thanks,
Andy Girault
