Judging by the (brilliant) above scenario, a non-transponder equipped aerocommander with no registration markings, a false floor to hide 'the stuff' and a bottle of bourbon instead of an ELT. Oh, for the exciting life....
In practical terms however, I'll be doing the bulk of my hours in a PA38 or vintage 172; so about 100ktas.

As for getting a clearance through the Brisbane TMA, yes it can be done and I would expect a CPL candidate to be able to do it.
I just pinged those waypoints into ozrunways - that's sadistic. But ideal. Of course it won't be quite the same without a 'passenger', deciding halfway through the second leg that he wants to divert to do low level orbits over his 'cousin's' farmhouse some forty miles off track. Oh, and by the way, some cloud's rolled in - we'll have to get there at 500'' AGL. Via one of four seemingly identical valleys, three of which are dead ends. Such fun
This will be my next nav - thankyou.
In terms of transiting BNE (and any large aiport) is it usually easier to present oneself at low altitude and hope to sneak under all the RPT traffic? My experience with big airports is very limited - Tasmania was very much a 'Cleared direct at 3500, and try not to hit the A320 on 10 mile final, if you can possibly help it...'.
