 Recreational Aviation Australia Inc strongly recommends that RA-Aus Pilot Certificate holders — and other sport and recreational aviation flyers — familiarise themselves with those sections of this web service that deal with airmanship and safety. |
The information on this page refers to both mandatory action notices and service advisories currently posted on the website by the RA-Aus Technical Manager. RA-Aus cannot guarantee that all relevant manufacturer publications are listed below nor can we guarantee the timeliness of airworthiness and service information passed to us by manufacturers. We advise aircraft owners to keep in contact with the aircraft manufacturer or the local agent to ensure they have your current address and you have all relevant publications.

| Defect and airworthiness incident reporting Sound airworthiness practice demands constant and complete feedback through submission of Accident & incident or defect reports — by RA-Aus members or others. Personal fault or blame is of no interest to RA-Aus in its management of airworthiness. Our aim is prevention of possible similar future occurrences or events within the RA-Aus membership — and the worldwide recreational aviation community — by publishing details and our recommendations. |
We recommend the 'ChangeDetection' service to all readers. A simple email advice is received whenever an addition is made to this airworthiness page. Thus you are assured of automatic early notification of every critical airworthiness notice. To make a no-hassle subscription to this free service click the button.
