stevron Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 What are the restrictions for having an experimental reg plane to having a certified reg plane? Can I still fly an experimental in controlled air space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRamsay Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Strictly, as I understand it RA-Aus does not have an "experimental" category like GA has except perhaps for 95-10. The 19 Reg just means home rather than factory built. It was possible to apply for permission to fly a 19 Reg aircraft over built up areas but that is a laborious process.

Your aircraft probably meets requirements as per CAO 95.55 part 7.3 ........ but, unless you hold a PPL with CTA, your Class 2 medical is current, and your BFR is current - you are excluded - (see RAA OPS 2.01.6 and 4.06.2-3). It may be quite some time before there is a CTA endorsement for the RAAus PC. After Sep 1 - you could convert to a GA RPL via a Drivers Licence (Aviation) Medical, then be checked out into CTA for an endorsement - an expensive process. To be honest, unless there is a really compelling case for you to fly through CTA, even with a GA licence - all the stuffing around is often not worth the bother. happy days, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, CAO 95.55.1.5 is a sub-set of CASR 21.191(g) - which is the "51% rule" portion of the experimental certificate regulations. So RAA does have a de-facto experimental class; however since RAA does not use the certificate of airworthiness process, these aircraft do not get experimental certificates, as do VH-registered equivalent aircraft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevron Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I am a holder of a PPL, and have a current BFR / class 2 Medical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poteroo Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 as per post 2 if your plane is RAA exp / home bilt Stevron then it is a no: butIf Ga then it is a yes regardless of who built it I think his Brumby is factory built, and a 24- rego. So with his current PPL - he should be able to fly CTA happy days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenn Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Transponder is not a requirement for all controlled areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
