Flight Schools

as far as adelaide based flying schools go, cant disagree with any of the other post except to say that neither Forsyth's or Aldinga operate twins so if your looking at commercial training u really want to learn at a school that can let u loose in a twin to build some command time as that will put you ahead of most of the kids that only learn in a c172/pa28 then jump into a c172rg/pa28r for their commercial training. Also you would want to find a school that also operates a C210 as you can also build time in these aircraft which will be much more expensive than a c172, but you can cost share with some mates. This should not only help you get your first job as many companies that hire low time guys have insurance minimums of 10-20 hrs on 200 series cessna. this should help you get a start over a chump that had only leart in c172. the twin time will also help if you want to take the instructiong route as if you have 50 hrs twin you thatn get twin training approvals as a junior grade three which allows you be be more employable and doing twin training sh!ts all over abinito training.
