Does anyone know anything about GA training facilities in Port Moresby or the surrounding area? I'm heading there for work and want to continue training. I contacted CASA PNG who replied as follows:
Dear Sir,
I wish to answer questions you have raised on the above.
General Aviation Flight Training Facilities in Port Moresby or the surrounding areas – NIL;
There is a Aero Club at Jacksons Airport the eastern end with Bar and Entertainment Facilities open to membership. Note there are Flight Recreational Facilities available or offered;
PNG does not have Ultra-Light Aircraft Association or a Recreational Flight Club and no regulations covering UL Recreational Flights.
Thank you for seeking our advice.
The local areoclub seems to have more of a social focus and doesnt appear to have a web presence. I'm under no illusions as to the state of PNG aviation in general, but if anyone can offer further insight into the situation it would be helpful.
Cheers
