Cheers, aroa, much potential as you say.
Yeah, because a tropical location sounds like the best place in Australia to train a whole bunch of cadets quickly...
Have you been up here, aimpoint? There's tropics and tropics, you only have to fly 15 or 20 nm inland from CS and you're in the dry eucalypt country.
The Wx in general is going to be more conducive to getting training done than the coast, good setup airspace wise, fair bit of space around the aerodrome for works, close to an international airport, attractive region for international students to want to visit anyway - lots of scope.
Just need a shed big enough to put all the aeroplanes in at once when a cyclone comes...
