Flying Australia: A Practical Guide for EASA Private Pilots: How to Legally and Confidently Exercise

Flying Australia sweeps European-trained private pilots across a continent where coral cays, snow-dusted ranges and ochre mesas share the same day's logbook. Beneath 18,000 ft almost everything outside a few capital TMA shelves is wide-open Class G, so you trade radio hand-offs for pure airmanship while hopping between more than 2000 maintained dirt strips and 340-plus paved aerodromes. The result is freedom backed by outback-tough infrastructure: one itinerary can lift off a reef ring, drift over kangaroos at sunset and finish under a velvet desert sky - no customs stamp required. Inside, the handbook turns that dream into a plan. Region-by-region weather playbooks, licensing and validation walkthroughs, budget and fuel hacks, survival gear checklists and "Copy-Tweak-Avoid" scenario scripts distil CASA rules into ready-to-fly kneeboard cards. Whether you're easing down Sydney's scenic lane, stringing a six-leg "Reef Run", or chasing the Red-Centre Triangle, the cockpit-side playbooks show exactly what to copy, where to add your margins and which gotchas ambush Euro-trained PICs. In short: pack this guide and trade European cloud-scratching for blue-sky confidence in Australian skies.
