Would it be better to do this in a capital city or in the country? Was thinking the latter was better due to more black holes?
Any schools to recommend around VIC? Was thinking of Yarra Valley Flight School, Interair or LTF Moorabin but would be curious to know if I have left any off the list.
Good choice. Did mine last year at YMMB with Tristar, but I guess LTF would be okay also. Being so close to the city lights (real purdy!) and with large well-lit runways and tower control, Moorabbin Airport is a really great/fun training ground for night circuits and the follow-on navs.
Essendon would be unnecessarily expensive I'd think. With so many black holes and rising terrain I'd think Lilydale FS would be a challenging place to start NVFR training, but I know they do it so maybe it isn't that bad. It's certainly a great school for everything else.
