PPL Requirements PDF Print E-mail
Australia has recently changed its requirements for foreign pilots who wish to fly in our beautiful country. CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority), Australia’s version of the FAA, have set forth the following list of information that they require to provide a temporary Certificate of Validation. The Certificate of Validation upon approval will be issued for a three month period only.

For more information, CASA’s website is located at www.casa.gov.au/fcl/overbr.htm#validation. There is no requirement to pass an examination for the issue of a Certificate of Validation. All licenses and ratings will be checked with the applicant's home country aviation regulatory body.

The list below is structured for US pilots. Most countries, except the U.K., will follow this list. For U.K. pilots, please click the above link for additional information regarding CAA authorization.

Requirements to travel as Pilot in Command on one of our exciting tours are as follows:

  1. A certified (Notarized) copy of your US issued PPL
  2. A certified (Notarized)copy of the last two pages of your logbook
  3. A certified (Notarized) copy of your specific High Performance Endorsement need to fly the Cessna 182’s on tour (Australian equivalent is a constant speed prop endorsement. See CASA Form 213).

The Fee for issuance of CV is included in the price of the tour.  For non pilots, this fee, as well as the check ride costs, will be deducted  from the tour package.
