ME-CIR Renewal Camden

Hi All

I am looking at renewing my ME-CIR, after letting it lapse some years. I need to do a re-issue and am looking at Camden to do it. All ready had a look around Bankstown and am not really keen to do it there.

Could I please ask for people's opinions of the schools at Camden and who does good IFR Renewals.

Feel free to PM if you don't want to post your thoughts.

Greatly Appreciate the help.

Try Gostner Aviation.
Joe has been around since the Wright Brothers, his aeroplanes are spotless and his standards are military specs.

Yes Joe sold up a few years ago now. Probably only Airborne or Curtis now that can do it. It has been a couple of years since I was out there so there may be other operators who can do it that I'm not aware of.

Gotta get round to renewing that thing myself!

Curtis Avn

My company uses and recommends Curtis Aviation for all its staff MECIR renewals.

Their testing officer is professional, experienced and courteous. We use the Twin Catastrophe but I am fairly certain they have other types online too

Last time I saw Joe he was flying at Liverpool Flying School at Hoxton, I am pretty sure you will find him there. Not sure about the ME CIR though, give them a call I am sure the CFI Rene can help you.

It really doesn't get any better than Bill Whitworth, of Whitworth Aviation on Tower Rd at Bankstown Airport.

I have to agree with "dogcharlietree" there.
I have done 5 renewals with Bill so far and his Duchess is one of the best in the country.

Having one of the best Duchesses in the country is almost a default position, The rate they are bent, the last one standing has to be the best. Joe's was his pride and joy. Sorry to hear he sold up and moved out but probably a victim of that cxruelest of Mistresses - GA.
