I did all my training with them about 8-9 years ago. Great guys managing it then, same crew managing it now. Good fleet (including 2 new Warriors with 430s and a new Seminole). The CFI has been there a long time (is he the longest standing CFI at Morrabbin yet?).

Recommended.

My son learned to fly there through to CPL, as well as doing an MECIR. I have a strong background in aviation and took a lot of notice of things - wanted to see my $$$$'s were being well spent (at least to PPL stage, after that he was on his own!!!!).

Throughout I found them to be most professional and acted with the interest of the student foremost at all times. Training was thorough and my son was able to progress at a pace that was comfortable (and thereby beneficial) to him. Their fleet is decent, some new aircraft (Warriors), a couple of older ones (Archer and Arrow) and a Seminole. All are well kept and maintained. They also have a simulator available on site which was great for the IF training.

Prices were competitive, a big factor at the end of the day with so many $$$'s involved.

Whilst there are possibly other schools as good, my experience has been almost exclusively with them in recent years and can unhesitatingly recommend them.

I've recently started learning with them. A couple of friends of mine were instructors there for a while, till they moved on. They didn't move on because of the school, both loved their time there and still get there when they have a chance.

I've just started to learn to fly. I chose MFS because their price was competitive, new aircraft and from the recomendations of my friends. It is still the same team as when they were there and it all seems really good so far.

I looked at a few places, but my gut feeling was MFS suited me better.

If you want to know more PM me.

I deal with MFS frequentlky and have to say am quite impressed with their operation, no I dont work there.

They are one of the few schools to invest in new equipment so they deserve evry praise.

Thumbs up

MFS are one of the better places to train. T. S***h is a cut above. Solid IF training mentor & industry professional. They got my vote over 10 years ago.
Cheers for Tony and the crew,
Aus'

Did a formation rating with them a few years ago - in half the time demanded by other places. We got excellent attention and were very well trained.
