Check out Pilot Practice Page
USA based website which generates FAA exam questions. Change exam type to 'Fundamentals of Instructing' as the FAA CFI exam is based on the FAA Aviation Instructors Handbook (funny that).
You should have pretty good success if you score OK in these practice exams as the CASA PIRC exam plucks it's questions from the FAA with a few Part 61/141/142 Q's thrown in for good measure.

Hi guys,
I'm an FAA CFI here in Sydney and am in the process of getting my CPL converted. I've completed all the required theory exams and just have my instrument (IREX) and instructor (PIRC) exams left.
If I understand correctly, is the CASA exam going to be similar to the FAA exam I did for my instructor certificate? I've got all the books with me here... should I just start re-reading them?
Cheers!

Oz,
But you must understand it's all different now, the air has changed.
That's why to total number of pages in Part 61, Regulations+MOS+Advisory Material of all descriptions+documents to clarify all the forgoing+ CASA policy documents to lay down how CASA will interpret/enforce all the previous is so essential, is something like 7000 (or was it 9000)
And haven't pilot standards in Australia improved so much, as a result.
I still have my original Pub. 45 on the shelf.
Tootle pip!!

...and to think all of this used to reside in a little blue book
I still have my original Pub. 45 on the shelf.
The recommended syllabus of training to first solo covered each sequence and the time needed to cover that sequence from first dual flight to first solo. The first solo was based upon 8 hours of dual instruction.
Met a Metro pilot the other day who learnt to fly with in a well known Victorian Regional flying school, who was given 30 hours of dual before going on first solo.
Newly graduated instructors wanting the hours and the company ripping off the cadets?
Centaurus,
What you must understand is that, in the "good old days" pilots were taught to fly, now they are taught to comply.
As to the long time pre-solo, just have a look at what has to be signed of, what the "competency compliance" requirements are, pre-solo, in Part 61.
It is stupid beyond belief.
Frankly, intending pupils are better off having a month's or so holiday in NZ or US, and doing a PPL there, and converting it back here. If nothing else, it will be a far more pleasant, enjoyable and satisfying experience ---- and you will probably be a more competent (for that stage) stick and rudder "person" to boot.
Tootle pip!!
PS: Cost wise, there probably will not be much in it, given the much lower hourly rates in the US.
