The Association

Australian Warbirds Association Limited (AWAL) is the administering body for LIMITED category aircraft operations in Australia. Through delegations granted by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) under Civil Aviation Safety Regulation (CASR) Part 132, AWAL issues Certificates of Airworthiness, oversees maintenance systems, provides safety guidance, approves and oversees adventure flight operations and facilitates Permit Index assessments. In addition, the Association offers an opportunity for aviation enthusiasts to join our community and participate in its ongoing growth.

AWAL was incorporated in 1989 as a not-for-profit company with the intention of connecting all those with a passion for ex-military aircraft, including owners, operators, maintainers, restorers, historians, and enthusiasts. Over the years, many friendships have been formed through shared efforts to promote and preserve Australia's military aviation history and heritage.
