AOPA Oz on a roll - 

INDEPENDENT FLIGHT INSTRUCTORS:  KEY TO GENERAL AVIATION REVITALISATION AND LONG-TERM SUCCESS

I wish to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the flight instructors who attended our AOPA Australia offices at Bankstown Airport today, to discuss the need for independent flying instructors.  The message from the group could not be any clearer or simple;  Independent Flying Instructors are desperately needed to help re-activate flight training across Australia.

We need only look to the United States to see the long-term success and benefits that independent flight instructors deliver to their national aviation industry, which remains the worlds largest and most successful aviation economy.

Our association is in full support and has been publicly calling on CASA for many years to bring forward the necessary regulatory provisions that would deliver this outcome. 

CASA must move this essential reform forward and without delay.  The time for debate has long-passed and we need CASA to take swift action in delivering this vital outcome.

Regards,

BENJAMIN MORGAN

Grab a copy of ICAO Annex 1 Personnel Licencing and have a read. If CASA are truely harmonising with ICAO guidelines, they would allow independent flight instructors.
