I have absolutely NIL flying experience/hours, and would love to get a few hours familiarisation/instruction (ground school + perhaps some flying) with an ex-military pilot so I am not a total fish out of water when I get down to Sale.
I've done a ring around to schools in Brisbane/GC/Archerfield and haven't had much luck so far.
Thanks in advance!
Not really how it works mate.
Go flying for fun, not to find the mythical ex-mil CFI (why an ex-mil pilot would stick around as a CFI other than to bumble around and kill time is another story) who will make you pass the ASP.
I'd wager a very hefty amount that doing flying would do little to nothing to help you down there.
Try focusing on mental maths and all else others have recommended in this thread. The ASP is good fun, you'll enjoy it.
