Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument temporarily exempts gliders and sailplanes registered with the Gliding Federation of Australia (GFA) from standard aircraft marking requirements.

The usual rule: Australian aircraft must display the nationality mark "VH-" (the international code identifying Australian aircraft) followed by their full registration letters on the exterior.

What this exemption does: It allows eligible gliders and sailplanes to operate without displaying the "VH-" prefix. Additionally, if the aircraft's registration starts with the letter "G", they do not need to display that first letter either.

Who it affects: Only gliders and sailplanes registered by the GFA under Part 47 of the Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998 (the rules governing aircraft registration) and operating within Australian territory.

Time period: The exemption was active from 1 April 2016 to 3 July 2016.
