YBAF Flying schools
Hi All,
Just finished my PPL at a SE QLD flying school. I really want to go on with my CPL but I am so disillusioned with flying schools. I am yet to find a school that seems genuinely interested in MY best interests! It all seems to be about ripping me off and hours for the graduates from the previous Instructor rating course! I can't afford to fly full-time which in itself puts some schools off straight away. I live quite close to YBAF so I would prefer to train there.
Any advice would be helpful. Does anyone have any input regarding the new school in the terminal building at YBAF? I believe its owned by an ex-Qantas pilot and has some affiliation with what was formerly Arena???

Save up your pennies and go see Bob Harris at Innisfail.
I have no affiliation with Bob, but do my IR renewals there and know the guy and the professionalism of his operation.

I would consider either Toowoomba or Port Macquarie for further training. The whole scene in AF is 'dead' - they just want your money to try and keep the flying schools head above water.
I would look at the two airports and depending on what takes your liking and how far you want to go with your flying - you can do some with one or all of your flying with the other.
Its your money, your licence, your skills that are here to be trained....
