Note that 18,000’ is the US’s transition altitude (i.e., FL170 doesn’t exist, they have 17,000' instead). The rough analog here (and, obviously, in the UK) would be 10,000’. I don’t think CASA is currently considering private IFR without a medical. That seems like a defect to me, given that the FAA has already decided that IFR private pilots don’t need them. - mark _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] http://lists.base64.com.au/listinfo/aus-soaring
