Hi,
I am currently trying out different schools to complete my PPL (possibly CPL although not likely at this stage).
I have been searching the net and these forums to make sure I have all the schools covered. I live in the western suburbs so I was hoping to find training in Geelong or Essendon. Here is the current list I have compiled. Does anyone have any other schools they can add? (This does not need to be a debate on the best school)
Thanks.
1. ABY Aviation -
ABY Aviation - Home 2. The Helicopter Group -

I have been keeping track of prices and other information and thought it may be of help to other people looking.

Where I am in my search 1. ABY Aviations telephone number was disconnected?
2. I have had a TIF with The Helicopter Group and had a good time.
3. Arranging a TIF
4. I have booked a TIF this week.
5. Kestrel Aviation College only has one instructor working part time. The company doesn't focus on pilot training as much as it did in the past.
6. I called Heli-Serv and was told someone would call me back to arrange a suitable time for my TIF, and that call never came, as well as no reply to my e-mail.
7. Not willing to travel the distance.
