Yeah, CASA is the body here, they are pretty tough absolute min for

Night VFR is not required but an endorsement, pretty valuable in Oz

That's one thing I don't understand about a Class I pilot's license. I
feel
you really need to be qualified at night also to be able to hold a
certificate.
I think you misunderstood me LP,

Nah, I understood...I was digressing. :-)

My son is still a student pilot and will solo in another few weeks if
his fast progress continues.

So I'm assuming he has around 40-50 hours by now?

Yeah, I agree, but plenty of pilots here just fly around the training
area or not far out of it, just for the fun of flying.
Sorta like an expensive trip to the fun park :-)

Hell, I did that for years with a student license. Since I owned the
airplanes and my flight instructor worked for my company and would write me
off any time I needed to fly! hehee It actually turned into a couple of
legal battles with me bended the rules like I did. But hey, I don't write
the laws, I just bend them. LOL!
