ANNUAL REPORT 2018-19 1

RAAus Value Statement Our mission is to facilitate accessible, safe aviation for all by being an industry leader in developing sport and recreational aviation for the fun and enjoyment of our members and the broader aviation community. RAAus achieves this through our passion for our values which drive change and identify opportunities for our future success. Our Values • Risk based: The right of people to take risks means having a measured mindset with respect to safety. Having a proportionate approach means assessing risks and and then applying a commensurate level of control to the activity. • Stability: RAAus will seek to provide stability for aviators, government bodies and other stakeholders. We will do this by being process driven and focussed on our long term strategic objectives which will be communicated to relevant parties. • Simplicity: Everything we do should be done with a view to making it easier for aviators to aviate. A rule, process, system, or any other artefact of RAAus will not be permitted if it does not simplify aviation. • Transparency: Being honest and open with members and other stakeholders is the centre of everything we do. We must act in an inclusive manner and our actions must always be viewed with integrity. • Accountability: In everything that RAAus does we must be accountable for our actions. This applies to directors and staff as well as members. We must be consistent with how we approach problems and be respectful of each other. • Innovation: We must always strive to be different and progressive. Accepting the status quo is not in our nature and we will be proactive in generating growth and change within the industry.

chair report This contrasts with today where we are not only allowed into airports but we also get invited into board rooms around the country to assist with making decisions that affect our entire industry. I personally sit on a number of panels as an individual and use these roles to advance the cause of RAAus and other parts of the sector and many of the hardworking staff in the office formally represent us on a range of issues. It is this respect and recognition that allows us to do what we do and have conversations with key decision makers on a regular basis. It is also a testament to the actions of our members, both pilots and maintainers, and their safety record. Today we have a safety record that compares favourably to other parts of the industry with similar characteristics. Of course when I reflect back on the past and some of the experiences I have been lucky enough to have with some of the machines that played a key role in our formative years, I also think about how we must protect and remember our roots. We are well advanced in our efforts to increase the range of privileges available to recreational pilots in Australia and it is worth considering this in the broader context. In previous years when we gained something new we simply tacked it on to the existing rights and privileges that already existed. Some would argue that this approach has diluted our ability to engage in grass roots aviation and while this debate is best saved for another day, it is not an argument that has fallen on deaf ears.

Another year is now complete and in this annual report I am pleased to give an overview of the past 12 months. I am also happy to say that we are well into setting the pathway for the coming five-year period in terms of setting out our strategy and working towards developing an even better industry for all aviators. This past year has been busy on all fronts. Personally I have been involved in a number of initiatives to advance aviation policy and am proud to say that RAAus has played a key role in moving the industry forwards. We have had a range of opportunities to assist with and provide feedback on policy reform ranging from medicals through to fatigue regulations for commercial operations. These opportunities reflect not only how far we have come in the past (almost) 40 years but also the maturity that has been gained over this period.

Our new weight increase will be effectively quarantined from our existing activities if our proposal is accepted. Nothing that we have today will change, you will still be able to do whatever you do today with no change tomorrow if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to take advantage of the increase. Absolutely no change whatsoever. What this means is that more pilots will be able to do more things than ever before without affecting anyone else. This will open up choice to more aviators that were not previously available. For someone who, for whatever reason, wants to exit the formal government administered system and transition into the RAAus world, this choice will be available to more people.

A number of years back I had an opportunity to relive our history with the Australian Ultralight Aircraft Museum at Holbrook. I recall thinking as I taxied toward the runway in an old school original rag and tube machine that the fences look high from my perspective. Back in those days it was ironic, we were free to exercise our flying privileges as long as we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go near airports. We were quite possibly the only aviation related cohort that was told to stay away from those places that were clearly the safest places to land!

This kind of sums up what RAAus is about â&#x20AC;&#x201C; choice. Save for a very small number of aircraft administered by us, almost anyone is free to leave our system and switch to CASA. Our LSA aircraft can be moved across in a heartbeat, you can already register amateur built aircraft with CASA, and so it

goes. No one is forced to be a member but clearly around 10,000 people see value in what we do and we hope to extend this option to others over time. Going forward we have set ourselves the ambitious mantra of “A pilot in every home”. This is something bigger than RAAus and will require the will of industry as a whole to achieve. We are not talking about making someone in every home a member of our organisation. Rather we are seeking to normalise aviation such that it is not a mystery to anyone. This could be through giving experience to kids through drones or it may mean creating opportunities for them to fly for a career. The point is, if they are somehow engaged with aviation, either on the ground or in the air, then we will have made progress towards this goal.

The introduction of CASR Part 149 extends this opportunity for growth of recreational aviation in Australia as well as strengthening the pathway from aviation for enjoyment to aviation for income. Keeping in mind that RAAus has a safety record as good as other comparable parts of the sector and employs a less expensive model to get people engaged in aviation, it makes sense that those who wish to pursue a professional career explore their options and consider a self-administering body as a viable alternative. Putting this all into perspective and considering the benefits to the Australian economy that RAAus brings it is worth considering what the broader economy pays for this return. The answer is almost nothing.

Likewise with adults. Many of us dreamed of being a pilot when we were kids but life got in the way. RAAus and a range of other organisations working together can help to show that getting involved is not that hard, not that expensive and is imminently achievable. Whether it is model planes, gliders or through RAAus, the goal is to engage with people through aviation.

Currently CASA operates on a budget of about $180 million of which around 91 per cent comes from the public purse, predominantly through fuel excise. This means that the public is paying about $164 million for CASA. This contrasts with RAAus which operates on a budget of $2.7 million to oversee 18 per cent of pilots and aircraft and two thirds of the flying schools. Of this budget, only $140 thousand comes from CASA. That is, 0.09 per cent of the total funding from the public ($140k/$164m) is used to ensure that a fifth of the pilots and aircraft and two thirds of the flying schools are properly managed. And even though this is the case, we have a safety record that is admirable, contribute to the economy and assist in developing skills that can be transferred into other parts of the community.

Our past performance is an indicator of our success in this area but it is not enough to say that we booked a $180k surplus and our job is therefore done. Similarly, it is not enough that that we are just as safe as our government administered counter parts. And nor should we rest on our laurels when we look at the growth in our member numbers over the past few years. The figures demonstrate not only the enthusiasm for aviation, especially in our part of the sector, but it also demonstrates how self-administration can work to the advantage of the broader economy. It is important to recognise not only the work that is done in terms of developing the next set of aviation professionals in flying and maintaining aircraft as well as administering the sector but also to recognise the greater economic benefits that aviation offers to the wider community.

Even though RAAus is almost entirely self-funded, we see value in investing in the sector. We have invested more than $500k in youth over the past decade through our scholarship program with more than $90k coming this year alone and we continue invest in the industry and ensure the success of all our siblings in the sector. We have bigger brothers like Qantas and Virgin and we have some smaller kin in the other sport organisations. RAAus will continue to work with these different organisations and maintain our efforts to influence policy in a positive way will set the path for “A pilot in every home”.

RAAus currently has around 10,000 members, around 3500 aircraft and about 170 flying schools. The job creation and skills development that this offers is very broad. Our team has worked with a range of different agencies and organisations in the prior 12 months to highlight this and reinforce the role that RAAus plays. For example, it is worth considering that CASA issued almost 52,000 flight crew licences meaning that RAAus accounts for about 18 per cent of total pilots. Similarly, RAAus

Michael Monck Chairman

CEO REPORT RAAus grew from humble beginnings to now boast some 10,000 members spread far and wide across our great land. When I visit our members across our network I am often reminded of the good old days. As I have just written about, we all have good old days and we cherish them, and rightly so. That is our legacy. Over 50,000 people have been involved with RAAus since day one. Some 11,000 are still attached today. Just as RAAus expanded its network, we ebbed and flowed. From times when we were not allowed to land at airports and not fly over 300 feet to times today where some 15 of our 165 schools operate within controlled airspace and many of our members fly at 10,000 feet. Instead of Scouts, Drifters and Thrusters, today now some 500 types make up our 3,500 strong fleet. I started here five years ago and I often say that if you think your best days are behind you, what have you got to look forward to?

And just like that the financial year is over. Where did the year go? Take yourself back to 1970, or 1980, where did they go?

I always look forward. I respect the past and learn from it.

Does time seem to go faster? It does for me. Even researchers have explored this phenomenon, see for instance: https://www. scientificamerican.com/article/why-does-timeseem-to-speed-up-with-age/

RAAus is on a journey and that journey will allow us to do some great things. Just as I peered into the sky, squinting under the hot sun as another silver bird passed me overhead all those years ago, RAAus is now peering into our future. It is bright, it is exciting and our best days lie ahead of us.

As our lives ebb and flow down the river of life, the river seems to flow a little faster, the stops a little shorter and the distant memories a little sweeter.

This report captures the last 12 months of this journey. Our desire to increase the MTOW of aircraft on our register, our hard work to prepare us for Part 149, our governance improvements, the fun and excitement of attending events and giving young aviators a leg up as they pursue their passion.

In 1980 I remember lying in my family backyard while a symphony played out above me as plane after plane landed at Mascot. At night, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d lie there and feel the rumble as the four engines above me passed overhead. Coincidently at about that time RAAus, or as it was known the AUF, was starting to form and reach out farther and farther into rural and remote Australia. In essence, taking light sport aviation to the masses.

Everyone at RAAus puts in more than expected. Our volunteer board of seven directors spend five to six weekends per year wholly engaged in complex RAAus business, together with a number of mid week teleconferences throughout the year. This group of seven volunteers are a hard working and passionate bunch of people. This time doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

And just as I grew up, so did RAAus.

include the time each of our Directors gets out and greets members and listens to the issues effecting members across the country at events, training session and member forums. The good news on this front, is that the issues affecting members in Tasmania are the same as the ones affecting members in Busselton and Cairns. The even better news is that generally members are happy with our direction, our future plans and the level of engagement and communication.

with thousands of members and future members as we fly the flag for sport and recreational aviation. Our annual report offers more detail on each of the above topics and really examines the length and breadth of our movement. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank each and every one of our team: our Directors, our volunteers and paid staff, our supporters and sponsors, our stakeholders and our business partners. And of course, our members, because without you, all 11,000 of you, RAAus would not exist.

Supporting the Board of Directors and our overall strategic plan is our staff team. Thirteen in total, eleven in Canberra and one each in Temora and Brisbane aid in processing over 10,000 member applications or renewals annually, process the registration of almost 3,500 aircraft, work with our CFIs, instructors and maintainers ensuring authorisations are up to date and that our school network is running smoothly. Our office team also responds to around 12,000 phone calls and 7,000 emails a year.

Thank you. Michael Linke CEO

On top of the routine processing, our team is involved in a range of other complex activities, including audit and surveillance, resolving member disputes, preparation for CASR Part 149 transition, working on our MTOW and CTA plans and striking the financial balance we need to ensure sustainability. Its not all hard work though, our team attended a number of events, presented at thirteen locations around our great country and met

Annual Performance RAAus recorded a 3% increase in membership numbers during the financial year 2017-2018 as well as a 3% increase in the number of registered aircraft. The Board was particularly pleased with the overall improvement in our safety record, where we recorded our safest year in ten years. In all we recorded three fatal accidents during the financial year, the lowest since 2017. Our serious accident rate has also halved in the last four years. Our financial result was also a good one. RAAus recorded a surplus of $187,368 for the financial year ending 30 June 2018. Full audited financial records will be shared with members prior to this year’s AGM.

Audit and Assurance As part of our ongoing preparation for Part 149, the Board approved an overarching audit and assurance policy. This policy sees the continued commitment of RAAus to trust our members, schools and maintainers. It also maintains our pragmatic and sensible framework with regard to auditing the operations of our schools and maintainers.

MTOW and CTA

Board Communique September 2018

RAAus continues to make progress on these two proposals. A weight increase to 760kgs has been given in principle support from the regulator, as previously advised to members. In terms of CTA access, recent announcements made it clear that RAAus members who learn to fly in certain controlled airspace can continue to operate within that space based on the exemption certificate of the flight school they learned to fly at.

The RAAus Board met on Friday 31 August 2018 and Saturday 1 September 2018. The purpose of the meeting was three-fold. Firstly, the RAAus Board has engaged a specialist consultant to undertake a full performance evaluation of Directors and the Board as a whole with a view to assuring members that the Board operates at an optimum level.

RAAus continues to work with CASA on finalising further access to airspace and our weight proposal.

Secondly the Board and senior management met to discuss the future strategic plan of RAAus. Using feedback from the member’s survey, statistical data and the input of staff and managers, the Board has developed RAAus’ 2019-2023 draft Strategic Plan. The plan will be further reviewed in November and a draft plan presented to members at our AGM.

Other matters The board discussed a range of other matters, including the 2018 member survey (a summary of results will be shared with members shortly), commercial opportunities to add member benefits, AirVenture Australia 2018, changes to the office structure within RAAus, and landing fees and how

It is important to note that Flight Training Schools can implement an alternate system of safety suitable for their operations. The manual and a how-to guide are available on the CFI Portal.

best to ensure members meet their obligations when using airfields that charge fees.

Outcome of RAAus Election October 2018 RAAus Company Secretary, Michael Linke, today published the outcome of the RAAus Director election. Two directors positions required filling. The details of the ballot and votes are below.

The Board endorsed an organisation wide audit and observation policy. This policy is based on our existing audit framework and clarifies the role RAAus plays when auditing RAAus authority holders.The policy is available on our website here.

There were 969 members who cast a ballot. There were 908 valid ballots and 61 invalid ballots. The total valid votes from valid ballots was 1742. The count of the valid votes was:

The Board also discussed medical policy and met with CASA during the course of our meeting to discuss appropriate medical reform opportunities for RAAus. We look forward to sharing the outcomes of these discussions with members once they are finalised.

The Board made significant progress towards preparation for Part 149 certification. The Board was presented with a draft exposition and detailed plans regarding ensuring RAAus was ready for the transition. RAAus plans to apply for Part 149 certification before June 2019. Between now and then we will run a series of articles in Sport Pilot to fully brief members on what Part 149 means for them. RAAus does not plan, nor expect, to adjust membership fees as a result of the introduction of Part 149.

Both Rod Birrell and Luke Bayly will return for a three-year term. RAAus would like to thank our members for voting. With a strong and stable Board of Directors, RAAus is poised for the challenges ahead. The Board will be available at our forthcoming AGM, which will be held on 3 November at the RAAus head office in Canberra.

Board Communique February 2019 The Board of RAAus met on Friday and Saturday 8 and 9 of February 2019.

Board Communique November 2018

The meeting was largely focused on governance matters, with the following outcomes achieved:

The Board of RAAus met on Saturday 3 November and Sunday 4 November.

The AGM was also conducted on the same weekend. For members who were not able to attend or view our live stream of our AGM, you can view the full video presentation after logging in to the member portal. The 2017–2018 RAAus annual report was also released at our AGM and is available to view online. During the Board meeting a number of key outcomes were achieved.

Michael Monck was re-elected as Chairman Barry Windle was formally appointed to the Board following the retirement of Tony King (out of session decision prior to face to face meeting) -- Barry recently stood for Board election and on the total number of votes he received was the next preferred candidate. The Board was committed to adopting the will of the members and had no hesitation in appointing Barry. Barry Windle was appointed Chair of the Risk and Audit Committee The Board approved the six month financial report (details below).

The Board endorsed our 2019–2023 Strategic Plan. Members are encouraged to view the Strategic Plan on our website.

GOVERNANCE (CONT.) •

•

The Board then considered a request from a member on operational matters. The request sought a change to our disciplinary framework. The change requested was to publish the outcomes of RAAus disciplinary panel inquiries. The Board felt that doing this would be counter productive to our open and fair reporting culture and as such did not make any change to current practice.

A formal Delegation Policy was finalised in November 2018 which clearly defines a range of financial, legal, operational, human resource, technical and communication protocols The Board calendar for 2019 includes four face to face meetings with key focus areas identified, including regular Director training The appointment of an independent company secretary

The Board also considered a formal expenditure schedule to ensure directors were appropriately reimbursed for their costs and trained. As our members know our Board are all volunteers and as such RAAus should meet relevant and appropriate out of pocket costs, together with investing in training to ensure directors are appropriately skilled to perform their duties.

The Board also discussed a range of procedural, cultural and communication matters to provide a more robust boardroom with its main focus on governing the business of RAAus and looking to the future as we continue to evolve, grow and improve. The Board will continue its work and looks forward to sharing more outcomes with members as they become available.

The CEO then presented a number of key project timelines to the Board for the forthcoming year and the Board endorsed these projects. Members are encouraged to refer to our strategic plan which is available online and carries some detail about where we will be focusing. The CEO and Board members will also attend a series of member forums throughout the year and discuss these projects, our strategic plan and any other topics of interest to members.

Board Communique March 2019 The Board of Directors of RAAus met on Sunday 17 and Monday 18 March 2019. As part of our overall governance improvement strategy, this Board Communique is more detailed than previous communiques as the Board wishes to provide members with more details around decisions and board meeting activities.

Monday 18 March

Sunday 17 March

Much of Monday’s meeting was spent discussing AirVenture. RAAus has been an active participant in the event since its inception in 2016 and as such a detailed review RAAus’ participation in the event was in order.

The main business of the Sunday meeting was to conclude business from the February Board meeting. The meeting held in February dealt with a range of complex governance matters and as such not all business was concluded. Governance matters raised at the February meeting were dealt with by obtaining external advice and a referral to the Risk and Audit Committee. These matters have now been resolved.

The 2019 event is set down for late September and will be held in Parkes, NSW. RAAus will attend and continue to sponsor the event. Members should keep a watch on the AirVenture Australia website (www.airventureaustralia.com.au). AirVenture is a separate company to RAAus and RAAus supports but is not responsible for organising AirVenture.

The first order of business was to appoint a Company Secretary following the departure of our existing Company Secretary. The Board appointed Simone Carton as our independent Company Secretary. Simone is a lawyer based in Canberra with a body of experience in commercial operations, governance and board secretarial duties. This appointment meets one of the recommendations from the Board Evaluation held in 2018.

RAAus also undertook a full review of its insurance coverage as part of our ongoing governance work. Our insurance brokers, PSB and insurers, QBE, attended the meeting and presented to the Board. The outcomes of these discussions were that RAAus continues to maintain the appropriate level of insurance for our attendance at events. Events such as AirVenture, Avalon and AusFly do not introduce any new risks or require RAAus to take out any additional insurance. The insurers confirmed that the level of coverage RAAus currently has is comprehensive and adequate.

The Board also undertook a review of its committee structure and agreed to form two committees covering finance, audit, risk, company performance metrics and CEO performance review. The driving force behind this review is to continually improve the governance of RAAus and provide members with an increased level of surety regarding RAAus’ performance. Work between meetings by a group of directors will enable these committees to be established at the May meeting.

The CEO presented the Board with a financial forecast for the forthcoming year plus two forward years. Our budget is structured in such as way so as to balance our strategic plan and initiatives whilst 8

managing cost pressures. Meeting our needs and managing costs is why the Board has reluctantly decided to raise membership fees and aircraft registration fees by $5 from 1 July this year. This change is in line with CPI and will ensure RAAus remains in a positive financial position.

Following the discussion on reports, the Board considered the financial forecast for the forthcoming financial year. The Board approved our financial plan for the 2019 – 2020 financial year, which includes major investments in youth education and enhancements to our online systems to improve the member experience. RAAus is committed to making access to our systems simpler and seamless for members. Over the coming 12 months a range of improvements will be evident in this space.

Overall the Board is pleased with the progress made in improving governance processes in recent months and looks forward to continuing to share information with members.

Decisions Board Communique June 2019

The Board approved:

The Board of RAAus met on Friday and Saturday 24 and 25 May 2019. During the meeting a range of decisions and actions were taken.

•

policies on sponsorship and supporter arrangements and a Style Guide for use of the RAAus logo. RAAus works with a number of external parties and to ensure consistency across our supporter base dedicated policies were introduced.

•

the Director induction policy and framework: a suite of tools aimed at ensuring new Directors who join the RAAus Board are inducted, briefed and have access to the necessary tools and resources.

Finance The Board received the nine month financial report, which reflected a surplus of $171,951 (after non cash items). The board expressed its thanks to the CEO and leadership team for the hard work that continued to be done in managing the finances.

Reports

Discussions

The Board received reports from the Chair, CEO, and Chair of the Risk and Audit Committee. These reports showed that RAAus continues to be busily engaged in enhancing external partnerships.

As part of our regular document review process the Board considered changes to our Complaints Handling framework and the Member Charter. Changes stemming from recent application of the frameworks are being considered by the Board to further improve the policies. Both documents continue to be reviewed, with expected finalisation by the end of the financial year.

The Chair reported on a raft of strategic meetings and forums he was engaged in, including TAAAF, ASAP and GAAN. The CEO report focused on major project work, with a range of member-centric achievements being noted. This included the rollout of our practical L1 training program, with an expected ten training sessions being offered in the next seven months across the country. Our Professional Development Program continues to roll out, with maintainers and instructors attending sessions in a range of venues. Member forums also remain popular, with further forums planned.

The Board also considered and reviewed a report on how member credit card details were managed. The board was satisfied with progress towards achieving the highest possible industry rating for the systems used to provide members with confidence on the security of online transactions with RAAus. Finally, the Board explored constitutional changes and encourages members to submit suggestions for improving our constitution. Any proposed changes by the Board or members will be circulated to members in time for the AGM. Members are encouraged to refer to Australian Sport Pilot and upcoming newsletters regarding director nominations, board elections, our AGM and constitutional changes.

Attending member forums and training sessions offered really gives members an opportunity to engage firsthand with RAAus. The Chair of the Risk and Audit Committee presented a report on committee structures for the Board to consider. As part of RAAus’ continued efforts to improve governance the formation of an additional board committee was approved. Two committees are now in place, one to focus on audit and finance, with a second committee with a focus on risk, governance and performance.

Each of these topics will be further developed and discussed again in August, at the next meeting. RAAus Directors meet four to five times per year and committees of the Board meet up to six times per year. Meetings are held both in a face to face format as well as by teleconference.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT As part of improvements in industry and stakeholder engagement, RAAus continues to foster relationships through meaningful collaboration with government and industry at large to support the safety of air navigation.

take proactive measures regarding management of potential or perceived opportunities and challenges, and fostering a greater understanding of RAAus objectives within the aviation industry and relevant government departments.

RAAus is an active participant in key decision-making groups such as Regional Airspace and Procedures Advisory Committee (RAPAC), National Runway Safety Group, The Australian Aviation Associations’ Forum (TAAAF) and Aviation Safety Advisory Panel.

It is important to note at these meetings RAAus is the only private administration, training and aircraft registration organisation invited to attend, with other industry attendance by groups generally including special interest organisations. A demonstration of our ongoing commitment to aviation safety and industry development.

RAAus also participates in a number of ICAO mandated committees, including the Australian Strategic Air Traffic Management Group (ASTRA), the Joint Agency Aviation Safety Analysis Coordination Group (JAASACG), which is an initiative of the Australian State Aviation safety program under the Department of Infrastructure and a number of the Strategic Working Groups of ASTRA, including the Future ATM (Air Traffic Management) Requirements Working Group (FARWG) and Safety and Efficiency Technology Working Group (SETWG).

Ongoing development and engagement with key industry bodies, including other ASAOs has also resulted in opportunities to foster open communications with broader industry (commercial RPT, airports etc.) These opportunities have provided RAAus with an unprecedented opportunity to provide greater understanding of RAAus key objectives, including training and standardisation, maintenance and pilot integration into future Defence and commercial careers.

The specific objective of RAAus attending these meetings has been to strengthen communications,

STRATEGIC PLAN 2019–2023 RAAus is committed not only to the growth and advancement of our membership, but also to the growth and sustainability of the overall aviation and aerospace sector in Australia. In order to facilitate this commitment, RAAus has set an aspirational vision of A Pilot in Every Home as part of the 20192023 Strategic Plan. The vision to normalise aviation across the Australian community is born out of an organisational ethos that the skills practised in aviation (situational awareness, decision making and perseverance) are paramount to skills pursuant to a prosperous life.

communication between RAAus and our members, our instructors and our maintainers, however also looks at the way RAAus can provide tools to ensure our members engage with each other, as well as the greater aviation community and general public. Flight schools play a large role within the RAAus engagement network as a touch point for students and members. Engagement also involves the work RAAus does with other industry participants including CASA, Airservices Australia, ATSB, CASA and other aviation organisations. The organization and the aviation community become stronger with more involvement from member engagement – more input and opinion, more action and activity, more influence.

The Plan is underpinned by four key pillars that enable the organisation to focus and deliver through initiatives, programs and strategies that provide maximum benefit to the membership whilst cultivating the next generation of aviation participants and professionals.

Training Training involves multiple levels of information transfer to maintain the highest levels of aviation training available. RAAus has a role to ensure we maintain standards of flight training which starts with the training of our higher approval holders including ROCs, CFIs, Instructors and Maintainers. Through this, we can ensure a high standard of training is offered to our students. Training

Engagement Engagement looks at the way RAAus enables communication and the transfer of information amongst the aviation community. This involves 12

and attitude towards utilising the latest technology to enhance safe aviation operations.

and standardisation will have a direct correlation with improvements in safety statistics and safe operations. Ensuring out members, maintainers, instructors and flight training schools have access to the most current and comprehensive training tools and resources, education campaigns and competently qualified trainers in the flight training and maintenance space will safeguard our organisation well into the future.

Growth Growth can be broken down into two key elements; the growth of RAAus as an organisation, as well as the growth of the Aviation Industry within Australia as a whole. When looking at RAAus we can focus on the growth of our membership base, flight school footprint, aircraft register, and financial growth and stability. We can also look at the total proportion of Aviation movements, Instructors and Maintainers that RAAus contributes to within Australia. Growth of RAAus also includes the addition of the services and privileges we are able to offer our membership.

Innovation Innovation is a multi-faceted area which refers to the improvement in services, processes, systems, and offerings to all stakeholders of RAAus. Innovation does not only refer to the improvement of IT technology to assist RAAus and our members, but also the ability for RAAus to provide benefits and solutions to our members as a world class leader in aviation privileges. Innovation is also about continuous improvement of current systems and procedures to improve the RAAus experience for all members. Not only do we need to update tangible technology (hardware, software), we also need to assist in our membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; adaption of a new mindset

In relation to industry, growth can be measured by the impact RAAus has on Aviation participation with Australia, as key player within general aviation and the overall goal to support growth of industry, regardless of whether people are involved in RAAus or other sectors of the Aviation community.

BOB TAIT COLLABORATION RAAus announced a collaboration with respected training provider, Bob Tait Theory. This development is part of the ongoing development of RAAus training services in pilot training and education. We are now offering for sale in our RAAus Online shop both the Bob Tait RAA BAK and RAA Cross Country texts for recreational pilots. Members and RAAus Flight schools are encouraged to purchase and use these reference texts as we work with Bob Tait theory to integrate a further suite of online training initiatives including training tutorials, practice exams and online exams through RAAus as part of our continuing development of our Learning Management System (LMS).

ROC TRAINING Training was delivered at RAAus HQ for new ROC approval holders with the intention of having these approval holders conduct physical audits of FTS and maintenance facilities. 11 new ROC approvals were issued, with new ROC approval holders to receive mentoring from RAAus staff during the conduct of the first FTS audits by the ROC.

CASR PART 149 What will change for RAAus and our members?

For many years Part 149 has been mooted by the regulator. The part represents a fundamental shift in how the regulator will engage with and regulate ASAOs (Approved Self Administering Organisations), currently known as RAAOs (Recreational Aviation Administration Organisations).

In terms of our day to day activities and functions, not a lot. The new Part will: • Define aviation functions (new functions can be added easily in the future) -- Currently RAAus registers aircraft, issues authorisations, administers pilot training and administers continuing airworthiness of registered aircraft. • Define ASAO specific key personnel • Require a Safety Management System • Require an audit and surveillance system

RAAus has been actively engaged with the regulator since 2014 as Part 149 has gathered momentum. This engagement has included attendance as public forums, attendance at invitation only meetings and forums, as audience members at CASA forums where 149 has been discussed, direct engagement with the regulator at a variety of levels from the DAS through to senior policy development staff.

Each of the above requirements will appear in a document known as an exposition and can be defined in a way we want them defined.

Additionally RAAus has developed documentation that is Part 149 ready. Largely this documentation has been in the safety portfolio, however other key documents have been developed to ensure Part 149 readiness.

RAAus expects to apply for a Part 149 certificate during the 2019–2020 financial year and members will be kept informed of our progress.

CASR Part 149 will specify the requirements for the certification and operation of aviation administration organisations. Part 149 is a Regulation that will facilitate approval of self administration of any aviation function. It will allow CASA to have a Regulation that will require and enable good ASAO safety governance. It will also enhance the safety culture of ASAOs and their members.

Safety Report Another key focus of the RAAus Safety Team has been the implementation of an Aviation Safety Management System (ASMS) at RAAus Flight Training Schools. Safety Management Systems offer schools a systematic approach to managing safety within their organisations and have been proven to improve safety and efficiency when adopted within flight training. The implementation of ASMS at our Flight Training Schools will continue to manage risk identification and improve the safety culture across our organisation.

RAAus is pleased to report that our safety statistics continue to improve, with a reduction in serious accidents and incidents during the 2018-2019 financial year. This improvement in safety can not only be attributed to the maturity of RAAus as an organisation, but also the success of our membership at large, including our network of Flight Training Schools, maintainers and pilots. Delving deeper into these statistics, we can see that our top three accident and incident types are reported to be engine failure or malfunction, loss of separation and runway loss of control. This data demonstrates the need for ensuring the organisation continues to provide training for maintainers, as well as a reminder for pilots to maintain a high level of situational awareness and to ensure they maintain a stable approach and landing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if in doubt, go around!

Top 10 Accident & Incident Occurrence Types

RAAus would like to stress the importance of members reporting accidents and incidents within our Occurrence Management System (OMS). Your experiences have the ability to assist the focus of the RAAus Safety Team in order to minimise the risk of these events reoccurring, however without occurrences being submitted in the OMS, RAAus is unable to generate valuable data on events taking place within our community. RAAus uses occurrence data to assist in communication and monitor safety trends to improve aviation safety for all members, and adopts an open and fair reporting culture to ensure members can comfortably submit reports without fear of unnecessary retribution. You can also report a known defect, hazard, or make a confidential complaint through our OMS. To submit a report, go to www.oms.raa.asn.

As part of our ongoing safety promotion and training, RAAus has continued to implement a number of safety initiatives throughout the year including L1 training workshops which will continue throughout the 2019-2020 financial year. Members are encouraged to partake in L1 training to refresh their practical maintenance skills and requirements. We have also been successful in hosting Professional Development Programs (PDPs) and member forums at a number of locations around Australia. The ongoing professional development of our instructors remains a key focus in improving training and standardisation, while member forums offer the ability for RAAus to engage with our members and answer any questions they may have.

Aircraft preparation

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The 2019 Professional Development Program for CFIs, Instructors and Maintainers commenced in March in Launceston with the schedule to follow including Lilydale, Bendigo, Canberra, Bunbury, Gawler, Mildura, Bathurst, Cessnock, Armidale, Caboolture, Rockhampton, and Heck Field. A member forum was also held in each location with additional member forums held in Wedderburn, Bindoon, and Jandakot.

The one-day PDP seminars were based on Back to Basics: Re-exploring first principles and the fundamentals of flight training delivery and maintenance completion. The workshops are divided into sections which include presentations and organisational updates on the Operational, Technical, Safety and Innovation & Improvement departments and their respective functions within RAAus.

AIRVENTURE AUSTRALIA 2018 AirVenture Australia 2018 took to the skies at Cessnock Aerdrome in the beautiful Hunter Valley. Visitors to the airshow and fly-in were treated to a fantastic air display and static display, seminars, joyflights and adventure flights, and dozens of vendors and exhibitors. Jabiru Aircraft celebrated 30 years, Teen Around Oz, 16-year-old pilot Liam Morey, stopped by during his world record circumnavigation of Australia, scores of youngsters took part in educational STEM activities, and past and present scholarship winners were celebrated at a gala dinner at the conclusion of the event. Congratulations to the AirVenture Australia team on a fantastic event!

AVALON RAAus was once again pleased to attend the Australian International Airshow at Avalon Airport in February 2019. As Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest airshow, Avalon provides RAAus with the opportunity to engage with aviation enthusiasts from all backgrounds, ranging from youth through to experienced commercial and military aviators. This year, we had a strong display of 24 RAAus aircraft and were able to offer members complimentary tickets to the trade show days of the event. RAAus carried out wing rib building activities for kids and also held a Scholarship Award evening presenting certificates to RAAus Scholarship recipients. Recipients were

also awarded a free lightspeed headset sponsored by Lightspeed Aviation. RAAus looks forward to attending the next Australian International Airshow at Avalon in 2021.

RECREATIONAL AVIATION AUSTRALIA LIMITED ABN: 40 070 931 645 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019

The financial statements cover Recreational Aviation Australia Limited as an individual entity. Recreational Aviation Australia Limited is a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory under the Corporations Act 2001. Note 1. Significant accounting policies The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted The entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted. The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the company: AASB 9 Financial Instruments The company has adopted AASB 9 from 1 July 2018. The standard introduced new classification and measurement models for financial assets. A financial asset shall be measured at amortised cost if it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates and that are solely principal and interest. A debt investment shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it is held within a business model whose objective is to both hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows which arise on specified dates that are solely principal and interest as well as selling the asset on the basis of its fair value. All other financial assets are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss unless the entity makes an irrevocable election on initial recognition to present gains and losses on equity instruments (that are not held-for-trading or contingent consideration recognised in a business combination) in other comprehensive income ('OCI'). Despite these requirements, a financial asset may be irrevocably designated as measured at fair value through profit or loss to reduce the effect of, or eliminate, an accounting mismatch. For financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss, the standard requires the portion of the change in fair value that relates to the entity's own credit risk to be presented in OCI (unless it would create an accounting mismatch). New simpler hedge accounting requirements are intended to more closely align the accounting treatment with the risk management activities of the entity. New impairment requirements use an 'expected credit loss' ('ECL') model to recognise an allowance. Impairment is measured using a 12-month ECL method unless the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition in which case the lifetime ECL method is adopted. For receivables, a simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses using a lifetime expected loss allowance is available. Impact of adoption AASB 9 was adopted using the modified retrospective approach and as such comparatives have not been restated. There was no impact on opening retained profits as at 1 July 2018 or current financial year. Basis of preparation These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards - Reduced Disclosure Requirements and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB'), and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for not-for-profit oriented entities. Historical cost convention The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 8

RECREATIONAL AVIATION AUSTRALIA LIMITED ABN: 40 070 931 645 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) Critical accounting estimates The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below. Key judgement - Estimation of useful lives of assets The Company determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. Key judgement - Impairment The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the company that may lead to impairment of assets. Should an impairment indicator exist, the determination of the recoverable amount of the asset may require incorporation of a number of key estimates. No impairment indicators were present at 30 June 2019. Key judgement- Employee benefits provision The liability for employee benefits expected to be settled more than 12 months from the reporting date are recognised and measured at the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be made in respect of all employees at the reporting date. In determining the present value of the liability, estimates of attrition rates and pay increases through promotion and inflation have been taken into account. (a) Income tax The Company is exempt from income tax under Division 50 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. (b) Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. (c) Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority. 9

Note 1. Significant accounting policies (continued) (d) Comparative figures When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year. Where the Company has retrospectively applied an accounting policy, made a retrospective restatement or reclassifies items in its financial statements, an additional statement of financial position as at the beginning of the earliest comparative period will be disclosed.

Accounting policy Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Sales revenue Revenue from sale of goods is recognised upon the delivery of goods to customers. Grants Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Membership and magazine subscriptions The Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership subscription year runs for a 12 month period. All monies received for 12 month memberships are recorded as revenue in the year the subscription relates to. The first 12 months of a multi year subscription is recorded as revenue in the year the subscription relates. The remaining portion of the subscription is recognised in the year it relates to. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

The building was revalued based on a valuation by Egan National Valuers as at 15 March 2018. The valuation has been determined on the basis current market value assuming vacant possession. Market value was determined by reference to comparable sales.

RECREATIONAL AVIATION AUSTRALIA LIMITED ABN: 40 070 931 645 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2019 Note 7: Property, plant and equipment (continued) Accounting policy Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Buildings are recorded at fair value and subject to periodical independent valuations. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Class of fixed asset Useful life Depreciation rate Buildings 40 years 2.5% Furniture and fittings 5 to 10 years 10% - 20% Office equipment 3 to 10 years 10% - 33% Computer equipment 3 years 33% The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the company. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.

Accounting policy Intangible assets relate to developed software used in the provision of services to members. The costs capitalised relate to development costs only and exclude the costs of research. Developed software is amortised on a straight line basis over 10 years. Amortisation methods, assetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Accounting policy Employee benefits Short-term employee benefits Liabilities for wages and salaries, including non-monetary benefits, annual leave and long service leave expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. Other long-term employee benefits The liability for annual leave and long service leave not expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date are measured at the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Defined contribution superannuation expense Contributions to defined contribution superannuation plans are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result and that outflow can be reliably measured.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S REPORT To the Members of Recreational Aviation Australia Limited

www.rsm.com.au

Opinion We have audited the financial report of Recreational Aviation Australia Limited (the Company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration. In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Company is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: (i) giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Other Information The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Company's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation

PAGE TITLE

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Reduced Disclosure Requirements and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar4.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
