I fly at the Pilot centre also , nice aircraft , nice instructors etc.
125 per hr isnt the cheapest but you have no landing fees and they dont charge for ground school.
I really look forward to my lessons there , the airspace and field is quite busy so you need to be on the ball overall a good place to learn
I live in madia vale and can get to the field in about 1/2 hr depending on traffic.
I never really tried any other schools as i was very happy with the service at the pilot centre.
As others have said theres not much in the way of club atmosphere but the other pilots i've spoke to there have been very friendly.
It would be nice to maybe meet up with other students at the school for a beer perhaps if anyone is up for it .
