She’ll be right mate, they have a couple of DA42s & a clapped out old Duchess. If they do it like the NVFR, anyone with a MECIR will be able to train them.
Before COVID they planned to have 600 students training in Mildura by now, so they must have something up their sleeve.
Rather than grow one school they bought four presumably to get around CAAC student number limits for the first year. Doesn’t sound like a long-term plan, a school that size would need a lot of senior instructors with ME & IFR training, Flight Examiners too, where were all the staff coming from?
The whole thing seems a bit odd, maybe there is nothing up their sleeves and the original plan never included being in business this long.
