Flying schools recommendations - Melbourne

Hi everyone,

I have a PPL with nearly 200 hours but have not flown for 10+ years so looking for a flying school in Melbourne to do some refresher training and then be get ready for a bi-annual.

As I live in Brunswick, I don't want to drive to Moorabbin (which I have always found to crowded) anyway.

Previously I flew from Essendon and did circuits at Point Cook and Baachus Marsh.

Looking for a school that has low wing aircraft either in Essendon, Point Cook or Baachus Marsh and somewhere where they won't want to teach me absolutely everything all over again to re-gain my currency.

I know there is TVSA in Baachus Marsh but the instructors there look quite young and I am worried they will only want to reteach me based on their way.

Point Cook seems to cater more for RMIT students, and in Essendon I could only find Flight Academy Australia as having low wing aircraft.

At worst case scenario I may drive out to Lilydale but it's a fair way from Brunswick.

Can someone make some recommendations?

Clear skies,

John K.
