Hey ppruners,
I'm in the process of buidling PIC time for my CPL in Queensland (flying out of Redcliffe) and was wondering if anyone could suggest some interesting/challenging ideas for crosscountry jaunts. Trips around the 2.5 hr mark would be ideal, preferably with an opportunity for a short field or two thrown in. No cruisy coastal scenics - I need stuff that will make me cry and wish I had GPS.
I've also got a few questions, for any local aviators:
Are transit clearances through Brisbane CTR generally available if you submit a flight plan? Otherwise it's a long cicuitous route between the Class C step and Amberley danger zones, ploughing through umpteen visual reporting points. Which makes going south OCTA a rather expensive exercise...
Any good short strips that don't require owner's permission around? Tassie was full of them, but here most of the stuff I find is either unserviceable or privately owned.
Thanks in advance; if anyone would like to give me some Nav suggestions alà the local CPL syllabi I'll gladly post the resultant GPS track history for you to laugh at.
