Strip close to Tooleybuc + CFI needed

G'day typing from an iPhone so apologies in advance for spelling + grammar!

Just wondering if someone can help with any info on a strip / paddock / piece of dirt about 15 x 400mts near Tooleybuc NSW? Any leads would be great.

ALSO

Have a mate that needs an SPL application filled out by a CFI (am I right in believing that any CFI can do this?) but as far as i know there are none in Mildura any longer, feel free to jump in if I'm wrong. Anyway if someone would happen to know of a CFI that may be swinging through Mildura on a charter or the like and could spare 5 mins to sign off the form please get in touch. Just thought it would be good to get the ball rolling ASAP on the SPL as mine from memory took 5 months..

Cheers, Alistair.

Adelaide, FTA I believe. Doesn't start for a while yet so thought it would save the drive all the way there just to get a form signed.

Signing a SPL form is not exactly a 5 minute job. Make sure everything ready, especially the proof saying the canditate can speak english. One item not included or a form signed incorrectly and whole thing will be sent back. Seen it happen quite a few times before, mainly the signature not being contained within the box on page 9.

Does mate have an ARN? If not, include form 1162 from the CASA website.
Apart from that, give Mr. Gobel a call in Bendigo and see if he can do it.

Cheers,

Don't worry Pilotette, he probably would have figured it out when he got north of Bourke.

Try Nyah, north of Swan Hill and close to Toolybuc, or however you spell it. There is a gliding club there and the strip was ok last time I was there.

Nyah is currently U/S

Does someone have some info on the strip at Wood Wood? I believe it was operated by a local nursery owner?
