Just read the email from Tyson Dodd and Neil Tank about the latest CASA Registration and Accreditation Scheme. It's good to hear that it won't impact us in any way and rightly so. Our MOP's are very clear and detailed so that we can fly safely and have faith that ourselves and our vehicles are as safe as can be reasonably made possible. It's also good that we can identify all of our flying sites (if need be) and fly from there without licencing or accreditation as well.
It was interesting to read that gliders are exempt from CASA registration at any location. I didn't expect that... I wonder what the limit in size and weight might be? I presume that if I were to fly a glider at home, I would still have to stay below 400 feet. I doubt I would be exempt from that rule.

Well done MAAA. Thanks for standing up for us.
