I've heard that there are now no flying schools at Canberra. Can someone please confirm whether this is true?

Are there any GA operators at all on the field these days?

I can confirm this. Brindabella Flight Training closed in April this year. They continued operating in a limited capacity to finish off a couple of full-time CPL students commitments, and are due to complete this phase of the shut down this month.

You can still hire a couple of aircraft from them that are privately owned, but other than that... The aero club have a handful of planes.

There were 6 schools here 10 years ago. There were at least 3 or 4 when I first started to learn here. I think there is another thread call 'Going Going Gone...." (or similar) that has more details.

Thanks Nadsy. It's a very sad state of affairs.
