Re "Penalty Points"
This is not just "CASA speak" , but "Government speak". Last time I checked
-some years ago - 1 point = $100.00.
I guess that if the government wants to increase fines/penalties across the
board for some reason - say for example a CPI change -it simply changes the
value of the penalty point. This saves reprinting the legions of Acts and
Regulations, that have penalty provisions!

First point is that a lot of the gliders listed here have subsequently been
registered under part 47, just that CASA, for some inexplicable reason, hasn't
seen fit to remove them from this list, mine is one of them.
Second point is that GFA will not issue a Form 2 to any glider that has a
cancelled registration and therefore no Certificate of Airworthiness, and John
Viney is well aware of all of them.
Lastly, flying an unregistered aircraft is illegal and will attract more than
"penalty points", as quoted on the CASA website:
"Flying an unregistered aircraft is an act punishable by law with up 2 years
of imprisonment."

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Registration cancellations
Posting the following from John Carr;
I was looking through the CASA website and came across a list of aircraft
that have had their registration cancelled because they have failed to complete
the new Part 47 registration. There must be fifty (50)gliders listed ! I am
sure that there must be some owners/ syndicate owners unaware of this.The list
can be viewed by going to www.casa.gov.au/ quick links / Aircraft register /
Aircraft registrations cancelled by CASA.
I feel that this should be highlighted some how as I am sure that flying an
unregistered aircraft/glider will attract "Penalty points" (CASA speak for
fine) and am not sure about Insurance.
