Some years back a young lady arrived at the flying school where I worked and said she wished to continue her flying training there. Her log book showed over fifty hours of dual instruction on a Cessna 150 at her previous flying school in country Victoria with over 40 hours on circuits with the majority with one grade 3 instructor. At no stage was the CFI flying with her. She had no solo time yet had flown quite regularly

Before taking her on we contacted the CFI of her flying school and requested her progress reports since her dual time was excessive. He refused to comply, despite several requests. He was well known in the industry for his arrogance.

The CFI where I worked asked CASA to do something. Eventually we received from said country flying school a faxed copy of the total hours the lady had flown and nothing else. These weren't progress reports as we understood them - simply figures which we already had seen in her log book. We protested to CASA and nothing happened. So it seemed that we received just what we asked for -- her training records. We suspected a sham but we never got her progress reports.
