Gentlemen,

Regarding SFC Instructor's Scheme, just to clarify that transfer between Seletar, Jandakot and especially Maroochydore is very unlikely...

When you're accepted as Cadet Flight Instructor, you will go the same training as the normal cadets until you finish the Jandakot phase. Then, depending on where they put you for the instructor rating (can be in MFA or in RACWA). Upon completion of your instructor rating you will have to instruct for a few month as junior instructor in MFA or SFC Jandakot before coming back to SFC Seletar to become a full-fledged instructor. The reason is in order to clear cadets for their first solo in Seletar, you have to become a Grade 2 Instructor (which if I'm not mistaken the CAAS regulation states that you have to instruct for at least 200 hours with 20 hours navigation and at least for 3 months).

Transfer between Seletar (C152) and Jandakot (C172/BE 58) is very rare... but the other way around is more common for temporary basis when there is acute shortage of instructors in Seletar.

Transfer between Jandakot (or Seletar) and Maroochydore is close to impossible... In order to teach in L45, you have to have multi engine turbine hours and preferably scheduled airlines command experience... Most of the instructors in Maroochydore are ex-airlines captains, and the rest are ex-air force instructors...
