Ab-initio PPL in Melbourne
Hi All,
So I'm looking to get back into my PPL training again - I haven't flown since early 2008, my last flight being (remedial) circuits in an EVSS (after bending one).
I'm looking for a flight school in Melbourne (Victoria, Australia) that does ab-initio training, preferably with experienced instructors. Having flown with Grade 3 instructors and a CFI, I'm very keen to find the most experienced instructor I can afford; even I could tell the difference between the two in terms of high-quality constructive criticism. I felt like I was learning a lot more.
Getting picky, I'd ideally like to train in a taildragger. I've spoken with a few experienced pilots who have opined that training on a taildragger is harder, but more rewarding. I'd also like to train somewhere that offers something like RBFT's Emergency Manoeuvre Training.
Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations (either for or against)?
