Yes the word is a new "airline college" flying school to start in November with Cirrus aircraft out of YBCS. Run by the Aviation Skills Centre apparently?? Does anyone know more?? CFI? AOC?

I dont know of anyone else in oz using them as ab initio trainers.
I would like to wager there will be a bent one within 6 months of startup though.
Cant beat the tried and tested cessna/pipers for L-platers in my opinion.

DD - you ask about "ugly"? - remember, the compatison is with the likes of C-150. - I suppose ugly is in the eye of the beholder.
But, back to serious, I dont know of any history in that role - interesting to "watch this space".

"Landing an SR20 the University of North Dakota factory-authorized training program way requires precise control of airspeed at 75 knots. Too fast and you'll float. Too slow and you'll sink like a rock, at least according to the UND instructors who begin to look visibly green if the airspeed sinks below 75."
Cirrus SR20 (and a bit about the SR22)
Hope the undercarriage is strong!!!

Daisy, general question to you, (and anyone else), recomendations for current initial training aircraft? i.e. What would be your aircraft of choice from the current production range?
Just wondering where the world is headed re training.

titenup- I dont know enough about the latest and greatest types to comment with any sort of real knowledge. There is so many new types out there now.... Technams, Sportstar, Boomerang, Diamond.....the list goes on and on. Some swear by the new modern trainers and some are stalworts for the Cessna/Piper/Beechcraft. Each to their own I say.
campdoag - Cairns Aviation Skills Centre (Aviation Australia) is the new flying school operator. Due to commence in November at last report.
