Hi everybody,

I'm a swiss PPL holder and I'm moving to Brisbane for 6 months. Of course, I'm looking to find a flying club there but I'm a little bit lost to find the best one! Do you have any advices for me? Websites are always uncomplete and prices are never given.

I have currently about 200 hours of SEP and I'm also glider and tow pilot. I would like to fly with an instructor for a few hours and if everything is ok, do some solo.

Thanks for your help and please, remain cool about my english :}

The place to go is Archerfield a short drive to the south of Brisbane, easily reached with public transport.
The club to aim for is Royal Queensland Aero Club (Royal Queensland Aero Club (http://www.rqac.com.au)).
They do everything and will get you airborne, I speak from my own experience.
The orientation flight will have you flying up the coast and admiring the Pacific Ocean breaking onto the rocks below, no thought about a lifejacket. It's a wonderful experience.
(are you based on Lake Geneva?)
