Sunfish,
I'm a PPL in Melbourne and share your views. Can I ask what schools your refering to? That way I may avoid them when I need to do future BFR's.
Can anybody recommened schools down at MB or elsewhere that focus more on recreational flying and not simply the processing of foreigh students.
Can anybody point me in the direction of a reputable school that can do RAAus conversions (from PPL to RAAus Certificate) in or around Melbourne.
Cheers,
AB
