Bob Harris. Top notch instruction from a well respected instructor at a resonable price. Innisfail allows you to do ILS LLZ VOR NDB DGA RNAV all within a short but high work load flight. Oh and a "pass standard" and "industry standard" in my mind are different things. The latter is what you will achieve at Harris'.

Tasair do them in Chieftains, which is obviously quite a bit more expensive than others but they then give you a whole heap of ICUS for free, and this is where they tend to find their new twin pilots.
They advertise free ICUS with the rating, however it is dependent on the W&B of each freight flight like elsewhere? Is a PA31 too fast for IR training?

Hey guys and gals maybe those who have 'been there done that' can shed some light on what they experienced with my following observation...
Most 'newbies' who do their Intrument Rating will not get a job straight out of flying school utilising their Rating, however having the credential there for when the time comes is the whole point of doing it in advance.
After all that hard work of learning the rules and tricks of the trade, getting that hard earnt rating on your licence and getting a job flying day VFR singles, isn't it fair to be said 'If you don't use it you lose it'??
I'd be interested in hearing the experiences of those who have attained their rating, flown day VFR single for some time, then when the time came for a gig flying a twin under the IFR how much revision was needed. I understand your not going to be thrown in the left hand of a PA31 by yourself yet still I am sure there would be a fair bit of revision involved in coming back up to speed.
Any thoughts??

AD-Astral in Perth.
Good school (only me/ir, no ppl, cpl training).
The guys (and girl) at AD Astral are very switched on.
They will do it on time (4 weeks and yur done), on budget and in a very proffessional atmosphere.
The genuinly try to help, which is a rare feature these days.
The operate from Perth domestic, perfect environment (ils approach every landing) and still manage to be cheaper then any other school at Jandakot(they need a 2hr nav to get to an ils).
Not the biggest school out there, but I reckon the best.
Look into it and be ready to be amazed.

FL170, I dare say even with frequent (VFR) flying plus doodling on your PC FlightSim, you'll need to fix up with an instructor at least a couple of sessions in the sim and another couple of actual flights to get up to speed, which is not that far off CAO's requirements for recency. Can anyone else confirm or otherwise improve on this ?
