The Air Training Centre Pty. Ltd. AOC section 3.4 lists only Archerfield, Cabooluture and Redcliffe as training airports.
An AOC application to CASA to add Bankstown won't happen overnight........
Comments from 'Aviation Auctions' - are the chattles on their way South of the border?.

Arrow IV
yes KBD. The auction specs say
"1979 PIPER ARROW IV PA-28RT-201 4 SEATER AIRPLANE, VH-KBD, TTIS: 2950.6 HOURS, LYCOMING IO-360-CIC6 ENGINE, ENGINE HOURS: 917.4, SINGLE MCCAULEY CONSTANT SPEED PROPELLOR, PROPELLOR HOURS: 1352.5, IFR, CHARTER, CLASS B"
Low TTIS and reasonable EHTR. I know of once when the nose gear got a bit sticky but otherwise not heard anything bad.

The Arena Aviation website had been hijacked by an unauthorised user. All amendments to the website after the appointment of the administrator are false. This is currently being rectified. We would like to reiterate that no assets have been sold and the auction is proceeding as originally planned. Thanks

well I think he (Stressful One) will be bored no more. Check out the latest Arena Aviation home page.
No doubt changed by or under direction of the Administrators.
OK S.O lets see you talk your way out of this and stay fashionable.

Gobabygo,
JAM spent a bit of time in WA. It was commented by an engineer at JT that it was one of the best maintained PA38s that he'd seen. Not sure how well it's been maintained since or if it has had the spar mod done yet.
If you were interested, try and get a LAME who has been around Tomahawks and knows waht to look for to give it a quick going over on the morning of the auction.

JAM has had forced landing off airport and substantial damage repaired pre Arena. Details are in the log book.
No spar mods on others, FLX has had a wing swap along the way so spar was not due at 11,000.

Thanks all for your help. Had a look at them today. They're a little untidy. Those spar mods are kinda expensive to do...seems about 11K will do it properly. 100hrly's soon... Maintained by company with no money.....
Market value to me doesn't seem that high.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Was at the auction until lot 30 of 300 odd. Aircraft were last so don't know what they made.
Didn't see anything of value except a few circa 1990 penthouse mags!
They were in amonst some boxes of student training records.
Mostly rubbish.
Wooden DH prop made $200 odd. OK for the bar.
What happened to the AOC ect? Was that sold?

Good luck to the guy. The traumahawks went for fair value if you were a private person wanting cheap motoring with very few hrs/year - 22K for the best and 13K for the worst. As for setting up a flying school with them? Good luck, it will be needed. Biggest bargain of the day was a $5 desk!

Who was the large gentleman who bid and won nearly everything? Rumoured to be starting a flying school??
Stressfull?
Stressfull?
