I am from Austria (Central Europe) and I want take flighing lessons in Australia.
My uncle is living next to the Forestdale Park 10 Nm south of Archerfield.
I have allrady a sailplane rating with approximately 150 flight hour.
The next step would be the PPL possibly with IFR.

What flight school can you recommend?
I think about:
1) Royal Queenland Aero Club
2) AV8 Brisbane
3) Sunland Aviation
4) Flight training Australia

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks for helping!!
greets
Fritz

Austrian Pilot, welcome to Australia from a fellow Austrian-born pilot :)

Do a search here, the schools at Archerfield have been discussed quite recently. As a private student you probably don't want to join one of the sausage factories, so talk to Sunland (great Cirrus planes), Gil Layt and the RQAC, and take your pick.

Feel free to PM me, I'm based at Archerfield and would be please to show you around and help out if I can. When are you coming over?
