So! And does anybody check? From: Richard Frawley Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2017 6:18 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW
someone can correct me but isnt it a valid rego number that counts in this case as that happens when it comes into the country, its easy to see in the GFA system if a form 2 has been ordered for any given rego/owner on a given year.

Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] MEMBERSHIP AND A WORLD REVIEW From the aircraft register of 2013 1220 gliders and motor gliders 950 privately owned 270 owned by clubs/cadets/societies etc. last year 1276 gliders and motor gliders (+4.6%, 56 actual) 981 privately owned (+3.3%, 31 actual) 295 owned by clubs/cadets/societies etc. (+9.3%, 25 actual) Only about 3 years difference, I'd be reluctant to say too much about trends, have to go back and dig up a really old one. But private ownership (in absolute terms) increasing more than club ownership (and as others will point out, only about half of the gliders in Australia are given an annual in any one year, so it all may be moot anyway). gliders on the register newer than 3 years old in 2016 - (64 total) 36 private 28 club Of those 64 new gliders 18 "pure" (mostly DG1000s, and 10 of them air cadets), 46 with some sort of motor. That's a clue to the future right there. For pilot flying times, much more difficult to get a handle on. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia." @lists.base64.com.au> To: "Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia."
