It's a fairly big operation, so there is a mixture of personalities over at RMIT YMPC.

There was a change in the management there last year, which seems to have been a big improvement.

RMIT has a reputation for being strict, but they seem to have a much better safety history that some comparable integrated flying schools, so maybe this is a good idea.

They have a new fleet, mainly C172 and C182, with an 8KCAB and apparently a new Seminole on the way. The facilities there are very good.

The biggest pain is a lack of shops and having to travel over the Westgate if you live on the other side of town.

I've met a few of the RMIT instructors and they seemed professional, happy and well motivated. Recently they've been using Qantas pilots for some sessional theory classes, which is a cool idea.

The RMIT students I've met seem happy with the training, certainly more so than the Swinburne Aviation students.
