Hey all,
Travelling to Melbourne again and wishing to get some info on some recommended places to go and visit for the opportunity to complete a renewal there.
Anyone think of a good place to go; cheep/efficient/possibility of ICUS if an endorsement is completed there also?

Depends on your budget and expectations I guess. There are a few schools to choose from.
NAT - Good quality instructors training is done on a Dutchess and they have a great sim. Cost though is around the 10K mark.
Crest Aviation - Low cost. They cross hire a Dutchess. Good Sim. Dubious on quality
Interair - Not sure give them call and speak to Nishy
Wings - Operate a seminole, not too sure on cost or quality.
Pearsons - Good from what I hear, not sure on cost or aircraft.
If you can spare the time to go to Moorrabin you can't look past Peter Bini Advanced Flight Training purely for the quality of instruction you will recieve. I would be looking at a school that does a lot of sim work for procedures to keep the costs down...
Good luck with the rating hope this helps...

I concur with ANG737. Have a look at Peter Bini Advanced Flight Training. I travelled down from Sydney and did my rating there, well worth the trip. My Instructor was mainly Pete Bishop a really good IF instructor. Steve Pearce is the CFI there and very experienced.

IFR training in Melb
I saw VH-NCE departing MB for Avalon on Saturday. Anyone know who operates this a/c now? Used to be Schutts some ten years ago when I last flew this aircraft ... a very well IFR equipped PA44!

NCE
hi smiling
NCE is operated by Royal Vic Aero Club at YMMB. I did my IFR test in it in March this year. Their number is 95800088. Costs approx $258 per hour solo... If your looking at doing some hours and cost sharing send me a PM....
Cheers
