  • Minimum 10 hours on aircraft type/class

  • Completed 1 takeoff and landing in type within 30 days of the flight

    • Last page of your logbook

    • Insurance certificate

  3. Await written approval

💰 Cost Reimbursement

Approved fundraising pilots may be eligible for reimbursement of direct, flight-related operational costs. This ensures your participation doesn’t come at a personal financial burden while maintaining compliance with CASA EX49/25 conditions.

Please note: no payment or reward beyond direct operational costs is permitted.
