Hi layman,

Canberra Aviation have a PA28 online down there for training and private hire. They also use the Canberra Aero Club aircraft. (they're the Canberra base of Goulburn Aviation - you can get their details off the website you've found). They also have a PA28 online in Goulburn.

If you need any contact details or anything let me know.

Getting to Canberra
 

Hi - I found this thread on Canberra airport itself whilst trying to find some information on flying to Canberra from the coast. I will be coming from Merimbula and was wondering if anyone has done this route before? Is it best to go via Cooma or up the coast to Batemans Bay and then head west?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
J

For anyone seeking an answer to the landing/parking charges question, I managed to get in touch with Canberra Airport via phone today.

The landing fee is included in the parking fee. The parking fee is charged per calendar day or part thereof. I was told that parking is only available on the grass. There are different rates for private and commercial aircraft. The rates drop if you stay four or more days, but for three fewer days in a private aircraft they are:

<2,000kg = $26.64 per day
2,000 - <4,000kg = $62.13 per day
4,000 - <5,700kg = $100.61 per day

So for me to fly down in a C172 and stay for a night, it'll cost me 2 x $26.64 = $53.28.

cheers
