Rejection of the Re-Registration of Aircraft proposal

[Aero Club Exco]

The Aero Club along with CAASA, RAASA, SAAF and other industry players attended the AS Sub commitee to reject the re-registration of aircraft placed in part 47 proposed by the CAA.

The underlying issues were explained by the CAA and the matter was refered to a Workgroup that will meet to resolve the real underlying matters that CAA needs to remedie.
It was made clear that this was not a revenue generation attempt but rather an attempt to clear the register of aircaft that have not been de registered or are no longer in opertaion or in existance.
Cognisance of the cost of de registering an aircaft was taken seriously as a major factor hampering the clean up of the register.
Proper debate was entered into and a few jokes regarding legal threats received from some quaters were enjoyed by the industry members present, but probably not the CAA.

The entire industry rejected the matter and proposals from all major players were put on the table.
There was no one organisation that secured a turnaround - the spin doctoring is enjoyable though.
It was a united industry stand.

Further details will be made available after the meeting planned for the Tuesday the 29th
There is a sincere hope that a completed Part 47 and its part 187 associated fees will be able to be submitted before the year end.

Most parties present are committed to working together to develop a future for all aviators.
Proposals are merely proposals that stimulate thinking and plans to rectify problems.

Thank you!

The idea of re registering my aircraft EVERY YEAR was rediculous to me! Glad there was a united front across the industry.
This is great news.

As usual some singularities trying to claim victory for themselves when in actual fact it was a team effort & united front!
