General Flying Services out at Bankstown are the best school. Been to a few others but GFS far exceeds all of them. They may be a little more expensive but what you pay per hour includes landing fee's, briefings etc etc.........nothing hidden and GFS is the only school that Qantas approves of to train their cadets so I think that kinda says something about their professionalism and approach to training etc etc.
All the aircraft except the decathlon are brand new and all come with GPS and Autopilots in them. Me-thinks that is important.
