GA is suffering a slow and painful death in Australia.
sorry to inform you, but GA has been dead in Australia now for quite a few years.. all thats left are the diehards, and the last few kicks of a dying nervous system. just look at YSBK, for many year the busiest airport in the southern hemisphere. more flying schools than you could count..
now, just a few schools left, and countless empty derelict hangars. and about 1 IfR arriving an hour on average. even sunny calm weekends at Bankstown now are a quiet affair.
