Angel Cheap PPL + hour building in OZ

Hi guys,

I want to take my PPL + hour building in Australia or preferably New Zealand (nice mountains).

I don't mind relocating from where I take my PPL to where I fly the 130 hours if I can save a few hundred pounds.

Can any one recommend any cheap flying schools and/or plane rental.

Get a PPL wherever you think is a good learning environment, then hire a 172 and fly around Australia.

Just out of curiosity, what is the average flying costs for going around Aus in something like a C172 or PA-28? I've seen a couple of people saying that they are going to fly around Aus so I gather it can't be excessively expensive, but obviously not that cheap either!

Cheers

They don't do it because of cost - only because it is so easy.

If flying anti clockwise, keep blue on the right, green on the left.

If flying anti clockwise, keep blue on the right, browny-orangey-reddy on the left.

There you go, I corrected that for you...

I though it was not possible to fly a 90 degree constant bank turn in a C-172...
Personally I prefer keeping the blue UP!

PS: Constanse and Stanziel are you two related?

jeez mate - it's about 12000 miles around 'straia.

at 100kts, that's gonna take you a little while - it would take less time to fly a 172 from UK to Aus

i guess you could do you PPL en-route........

Constanse actually says he/she wants to fly 130 hours! 12,000 miles divided by 100 knots is only 120 hours...

120/130hrs for a ppl?

could have his IR, aeros and most of his CPL hours after flying round 'straia would be good at coastal reversal turns and low flying.....
