A warning for anyone wishing to fly in Australia.
They are quick to rob you of any money they can.
The ASIC cost me a mint, around $600, in fees for signatures as well as for the actual card.
Then I noticed a couple of weeks ago that CASA processed my credit card.
They sent me an email to ask if I still wanted them to issue a validation of my pilot licence for the dates I was in Australia last February! What good would that be?
So to fly in Australia be ready for a long inefficient wait, and a large expense.
Apply early, they take their time, and your money.
I emailed them to ask if they can retain it until my next possible visit later this year.
They replied, file closed, apply again, wait again, pay pay pay again.
I begin a list of the World’s worst aviation authorities and CASA has made it to the top of that list.
