RAA to GA

I do many RAA pilots here at my School some of who later continue on to GA.

I set all Students up with the PPL Student Pilot kit + HF from ATC, later adding the NAV/MET books etc. If the student is intending to go GA from the start, they get more hours to prepare them for the transition, rather then the RAA minimum syllabus, which prepares them better.

And with the NAV's, I make sure they achieve the multiple away landings to get those credits also. I use Tamworth + Oakey/Amberley/Brisbane CTA boundaries via Toowoomba to experience heavy traffic workload as well as Dubbo.

After that, I refer them to either of 2 GA Schools regionally, or they make their own arrangements (with my help) at a major centre. It has been very good so far, very cost effective and the GA transition time/cost is minimal relatively.
