Ian,
Aircraft in company colours are usually operating using Flight Number
these days;
that kinda blows a hole in that argument :-)
Gliders with registrations starting with G are also exempt from displaying
the G, how many
gliders out there with registrations with other than G are not displaying
their registration
in full?

Subject: [Aus-soaring] fin/fuse rego size now 30cm high
I gather CASA have brought out a directive that when aircraft are repainted
that the side rego letters on fin (or side of fuse) must be 30cm high (was
10cm high) Warbirds are exempt!!! Think it would be a good idea that
touring motorgliders consider this size letters in the future otherwise CASA
might realise they forgot us and start on us again re regos. They will never
inforce the carriage of VH on gliders I am sure - Kiwiland GA do not have to
carry ZK which is fair enough for such an island country
I gather it is brought about by controllers not being able to read regos on
similar aircraft (often aircraft in company colours and similar regos) and
giving the clearance to the wrong aircraft and a possible ground collision
Just a thought for those refinishing
