CASA has now advertised (via its own website and adverts in "The Australian" newspaper) that the exemption that allowed Limited Category aircraft to fly not under the auspices of a self administering body has been withdrawn. The effective date was May 14th, 2007.

That means that if you own a Limited Category aircraft, you must register with AWAL and pay the $550 fee. If you have not done so,  don't fly until you do.

Adventure flight operators must also comply with AWAL's adventure flight guide, which can be downloaded from this website.
