Looking to enrol in a part-time CPL course, had a chat to the owner. Seems like a good outfit.

Any advice from past ADFA students?

Bryan is an absolute top bloke. Highly recommend all the gang. Wouldn't have gotten to where I am without all his help.

I'm starting flying there on Thursday! I agree that Bryan is a top bloke. I met him the other day when i visited.
His rates are great too.

I have posted on this topic before.

Yes he is a good bloke. Not his most important attribute though.

Very good teaching technique, knows his stuff, willin to listen and has a very good track record.

Has a vast experience in RAAF and RPT, plus good with old Moths etc.....

All round good package.

I have done renewals and endo's only, but he rates very highly with me!

Nice young lady works there too........I think I need a TW endo ....

Absolutely Wocky,

Excellent Instructor and teacher and always open for questions.

I did my TW before she had hers, should have waited... She said she didnt want to instruct me however

Pyro, what happened to your flying at the mighty rac?

sixtiesrelic · 24th Jan 2009, 22:26

I started learning to fly forty nine years ago.
Flown lots of types and met thousands of pilots, flown with hundreds.
I videoed Bryan giving a friend a tailwheel endorsement and noted his professionalism.
Professionalism to me isn't being able to quote the book and teach by it.
Bryan's been there, done that, and knows the book.
Sadly I see learning to fly as a ceremonial rather than practical thing nowdays. Too much fluff, too many silly little things blown out of proportion.
Bryan will cut through the cr*p and teach you airmanship and practicality from his experiences.
There is only a handfull of instructors I've encountered that I dips me lid to, and happily would call sir... Bryan's one.

FTS: You know how hard it is to get a booking at RAC?
I also was referred to bryan due to the above points, and knowing he doesnt want to 'progress', he's been there.
Good rates, and apparently a super high standard of training.

Thanks for the response everyone. I have gone and met some of the instructors and got a good vibe. The school focuses very much on the local clientele, not to mention how easy it is to get a booking on weekends!

I'd agree with most people on here, Bryan really is a good bloke. I'll be starting my training soon on MZW!

Again thanks for the feedback,
Carambar

Good onya Carambar
Enjoy MZW, haven't flown her since she was the only non-gazelle at Jonathon Seagull at Redcliffe.

I started training with them in November after moving up from Sydney. Agree with all the positive posts before. Very good bunch.

Bryan is a very experienced instructor. Make SURE you only get Bryan and not one of the kids......or Fred Astair !!
