Hi all,
Info on here seems to mostly be from a good few years ago so I'm looking for flight school recommendations at Bankstown in Sydney to get a CPL. I'm looking for somewhere I can fly a lot (4-6 days a week) but still be flexible with timings to a degree so not a Part 142 course. I'm leaning towards Australian Aerobatic Academy at the moment, has anyone studied their RPL, PPL or CPL there and would recommend?
Who are the "sausage factories" that I see so regularly mentioned here but not by name in Bankstown and should be avoided? Most of the recommendations on here seem to be for Bill Whitworth who seems to no longer be instructing or Curtis Aviation which is at Camden and too far away from where I currently stay.
TIA
Flying training is one to one personal in nature, what works for one here may not for you. Go down to Bankstown and walk around the various operators, meet the instructors at each and get a tour. Then go with the one that suits your needs best. If they don't have time to show you around, it's unlikely they will have time to fit with your schedule. You can gain a lot of information about your potential instructor just by the way they interact with you and others, remember that you are entrusting this person to guide you through to solo flight and a successful career.
