Hi all,

How does a glider pilot operate outside the GFA? I have a C cert, motorglider
endorsement and an unrestricted RAA license. Let's suppose I won a million
dollars, decided to buy my own aircraft, and go gliding outside the GFA. How
would this actually work? Who would do my check flights etc? And is there a
standard process CASA follows, or is it decided on a case-by-case basis?
It seems the simplest path would be to buy a light self launcher and register
it RAA. As we all know, those dangerous little ultralight things use very
unreliable engines, so engine failures may be common :)
Cheers,
Al
