Hi All,
So I'm looking to get back into my PPL training again - I haven't flown since early 2008, my last flight being (remedial) circuits in an EVSS (after bending one (http://theaviationforum.com/forump/index.php?topic=691.0)).
I'm looking for a flight school in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) that does ab-initio training, preferably with experienced instructors. Having flown with Grade 3 instructors and a CFI, I'm very keen to find the most experienced instructor I can afford; even I could tell the difference between the two in terms of high-quality constructive criticism. I felt like I was learning a lot more.
Getting picky, I'd ideally like to train in a taildragger. I've spoken with a few experienced pilots who have opined that training on a taildragger is harder, but more rewarding. I'd also like to train somewhere that offers something like RBFT's Emergency Manoeuvre Training (http://redbaron.com.au/flight_training/courses/emt_aac.html).
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations (either for or against)?
