Brindabella is the only flying school in Canberra - and if they don't have enough demand from students
given that they already have all the infrastructure in place including the AOC

I would think this should give rise to a sizable GA training operation at YGLB. It is ideally located near all classes of airspace whilst being in class G for ab-initio, no landing fees, no circuit limitations etc. It's also located close enough to draw students from CBR and SYD if the offering is right. With the moves to ramp up the GA movements at YGLB I think there is quite the business opportunity there.

It's been >10 years since I was flying regularly - (got a CPL(H) about 18 years ago)...
I just started studying my CPL(A) part-time through Brindabella. It is really great to have them to ask all the questions, especially since there have been so many changes since I last flew.
Also once completed, I was going to do MECIR. Due to my job I can only get weekends off and only a week (rarely) for holidays, so doing full time training elsewhere is not possible.
Anyone know who nearby can do MECIR??
As for Canberra Aero Club, they could go through the AOC route with their own instructor etc, but as soon as it became "profitable or busy", Mr S would demand his pound of flesh, and the CAC would have to look for a new home!
So... anyone with some instructing experience in Canberra wanting to earn a few $cash to get me through my studies, PM me.
