Arse*ole real estate agents selling homes in estates around Point Cook are apparently telling prospective buyers "Don't worry about the noise, the airfield will be closed down in a year or two".
As for EFATO/PFL training, I'm taught to use idle power plus carb heat and warm the engine every 1000 ft by bringing it to 1500 rpm for about ten seconds. Go around by 500 feet and don't use people's homes as aiming points.
I looked at Pt Cook flying schools and opted for Moorabbin instead even though I'm only ten minutes from pt Cook.
