Sorry Mark, I don#39;t regularly troll CASA websites so it is welcome news to me. A few years ago I had an issue with a licence for Szeged but used my FAA licence (later found to be not valid) So a licence that is useful overseas would be great. Tom ___

Here in oz we don#39;t need a licence so don#39;t need a medical. Overseas we need an ICAO licence therefore need the class 2 medical. ( plus extras like ECG for France) If you are not flying overseas then you don#39;t need to apply for one or do the medical. :)

This is all very interesting. The bulletted points one and three seem to me to be a little at odds with each other. It seems to me that i can apply for a casa glider licence on the basis that i hold a CASA pilots licence for aeroplanes. But I cant HAVE a licence unless I have a GFA glider pilots

Dear all! Please allow me to pass on some experience gained during the recent WIG week (Women in Gliding) at Gawler. The roof of my car was accidently dented by Mrs. Jo Wooler - a fellow glider pilot from the Caboolture Gliding Club in QLD. She lifted the right wing of the ASH 25 and by
