Our Organisation is also responsible for the development and promotion of flying safety standards and for advocating on behalf of our 10,000 members. We are one of nine Recreational Aviation Administration Organisations (RAAOs) authorised to self-administer sport and recreational flying activities on behalf of the Commonwealth Government's Civil Aviation Safety Authority. Since The Civil Aviation Regulations 1988 don't regulate this class of aircraft or activities, RAAus operates via exemptions and delegations.
