Hello downunder,
having checked out CASA and a number of other resources and had a good look through this forum, I am hoping one or two of you may tell me your views in respect job opportunities in South Australia. I am still at the pre PPL stage (much to my frustration) and am working hard towards a permanent move to or near Adelaide. Visa's should be striaght forward with the wife being a nurse and a brother already out there. I am curious as to what to expect in terms of opportunities once qualified. To be fair, I don't have aspirations to fly for major airlines, and will be content with the type of flying that most aviators use to gain experience to move onto more lucrative employers. Flying for the joy of it, whilst working hard, enjoying the scenary, turning my hand to anything necessary to keep the boss happy etc etc. I am not in it for the money.
My questions are, whats the flying training like in South Aus and what are the chances of single or twin agricultural/tourist, sight seeing/floatplane and flying of that nature. Maybe moving into instructing once experience permits. It's difficult to get a definitive answer to questions like this but I value the opinions expressed here.
Thanks and goodluck.
