Flight instructor ratings for approved aerial mustering training pilots
Work is underway to ensure aerial mustering flight training and testing continues smoothly during the flight crew licensing regulations transition period.

To assist with this process, two instruments (CASA 289/14 and CASA 290/14) enable Civil Aviation Order (CAO) 29.10 approved training pilots to continue exercising their privileges during the Part 61 transition period (please note these instruments are currently due to expire on 31 August 2017, however CASA expects them to be extended for a further 12 months to 31 August 2018).

Under the flight crew licensing transitional arrangements, pilots who held CAO 29.10 approvals are taken to be flight instructors with a low-level rating training endorsement for the relevant category, and can continue exercising the privileges of the instructor rating until 31 August 2017 and until 31 August 2018 once the policies are extended.

While these pilots are not required to pass any examinations during the transition period, they do need to undertake instructor rating proficiency checks.

Eligible pilots can apply to have this authorisation included on their new Part 61 flight crew licence. You will simply need to provide the required evidence to CASA when you submit form 61-9TX (Recognition and transfer of CAR 5 qualifications under CASR Part 61 and CASR Part 202.261). You can access the form as a PDF, or via CASA Self Service.
Find out more about applying for your Part 61 flight crew licence.

If you have already converted to a Part 61 licence and want to request the addition of a flight instructor rating, you will need to complete form 61-9LR (Notification of licence document resolution) and submit it to CASA. You can access the form as a PDF, or via CASA Self Service.

 
Word of advice - sack OST's Tiger Team (& sack OST) they're a WOFTAM & Part 61 needs to be pulled next week soonest in joint sitting Parliament -  otherwise the ever suffering taxpayer & industry will be paying for this till the cows come home - FFS GA & red tape reduction now or else
